Naff差勁的

Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.

Jean: And I'm Jean.

Jo: Today we're going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English textbook.

Jean:學習英式英語非常重要的一部分就是要學習他們日常使用的英語口語，而且這些英語的通俗說法并不是經(jīng)常能在書本上學到的。那Jo，我們今天要學的英語口語詞是什么呢？

Jo: Today's new word is 'naff' - N.A.F.F. - naff.

Jean: Naff. Naff是什么意思呢？

Jo: Well， naff is a slang word. It means bad， not good.

Jean: 那，naff就是不好的、很差的意思嘍。那我們怎么用這個詞呢？

Jo: Well， anytime you want to say something isn't good. You could say 'It's naff.' for example 'I didn't like the live music. It was naff.'

Jean: 就是說你覺得現(xiàn)場音樂都很差所以你不喜歡？

Jo: Yes. 'It's naff' means 'It isn't good.'

A: How was your holiday?

B: A bit naff really. There wasn't anything to do and the weather was terrible.

Jo: Have you tried the new restaurant over the road?

Jean: No， have you?

Jo: Yes， but it's a bit naff. I wouldn't recommend it.

Jean: Why is it naff?

Jo: Well， the food was naff to start with， and the music is terrible. And it was quite expensive.

Jean: It does sound naff.

Jo: Yes. Don't waste your money going to a naff restaurant.

Jean: 好了，今天我們學到的新詞naff是另一個英國特有的口語詞，就是“不怎么樣，很差勁”的意思，naff。Well， it looks like we don't have any more time.

Jo: Yes， that's it. You've been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

Jean: See you next time.

Helen: Today's new word is spam. S.P.A.M. - spam.

Zoё: What is spam， Helen?

Helen: Spam is advertising material that you receive by e-mail， even though you didn't ask for it.

Zoё:哦， 原來spam就是我們在e－mail里經(jīng)常收到的那些不知道從哪兒來的廣告資料。

Helen: Yes. Do you know the type of thing I mean? You check your post， and 90% of it is things like adverts for mobile phones， new credit cards and the like.

Zoё:Yes， Helen.

Helen: Yes， so you can say I get a lot of spam in my e-mail.

Zoё:OK or my e-mail is full of spam.

Helen: That's right.

B: Yes， but it's probably all spam. Don't get excited.

Zoё:Do you get a lot of spam， Helen?

Helen:Sometimes I get hundreds of messages in one day. I spend half my time on the Internet just deleting spam.

Zoё: I know.

Helen: Anyway， let's recap - spam
