The script of this programme 本節(jié)目臺詞
    Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
    And I’m Jean.
    Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
    Jean: 學(xué)習(xí)英式英語非常重要的一部分就是要學(xué)習(xí)他們?nèi)粘J褂玫挠⒄Z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(xué)到的。那Jo,我們今天要學(xué)的英語口語詞是什么呢?
    Jo: Today’s word is ‘barney’ – B.A.R.N.E.Y. – barney.
    Jean: Barney. Barney 是什么意思呢?
    Jo: Well, it means a noisy argument. So, if you have a barney, you have a noisy argument.
    Jean: OK我知道了。A barney就是一場喧噪的爭吵的意思。那你能給我們再舉例說說嗎?
    Jo: Of course. If you heard your neighbours arguing, you might say "My neighbours had a barney."
    Jean: 就是說,我的鄰居正在大聲的爭吵。
    Jo: Precisely.
    Insert
    A: Where is Bill’s girlfriend?
    B: She didn’t come. Apparently they had a barney last night, and she isn’t talking to him.
    Jo: Have you had any barneys recently, Jean?
    Jean: No, and you?
    Jo: No, but I saw one. I was in a restaurant.
    Jean: 你在餐廳里碰到有人吵架嗎?
    Jo: It was quite funny. A couple had an enormous barney, and she threw her soup all over him!
    Jean: Really?
    Jo: Yes, they were both shouting at each other. A proper barney.
    Jean: How terrible.
    Jo: Yes, anyway, to recap, barney is a noisy argument.
    Jean: 好,今天我們又學(xué)到了一個英式英語的口語詞,barney,就是那種噪音很大的爭吵的意思。
    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.
