The script of this programme 本節(jié)目臺詞
Producer/Presenter: Vicki Sullivan
Vicki: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m Vicki.
Lilly: And I’m 楊莉莉. Hello!
Vicki: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Lilly: 和漢語一樣，英語里也是有著非常多的成語和俗話的，所以要能聽得懂英國人日常的說話聊天，就一定要多了解他們常用的通俗詞語
Vicki: Today’s expression is last…minute. Last-minute.
Lilly: 這個短語聽起來好象和時間的概念有關(guān),對嗎?
Vicki: Well, kind of. It means at the very last moment. The latest possible time you could do something.
Lilly: 也就是規(guī)定時間內(nèi)的最后的那一點點兒時間,也許是最后一天,最后一分鐘,甚至最后一剎那.
Vicki: Well, let’s say I’m going on holiday tomorrow but I still need to buy a few things today. It’s quite late to be preparing for my holiday tomorrow so I might say – I have some last-minute shopping to do.
Lilly: 如果你明天就要外出度假了,今天才出去買那些須要帶的東西,這時候,你就可以用上 last-minute shopping. 托倒最后一刻的購物來形容.
Vicki: Let’s hear some more examples shall we?
Insert
A: I thought you couldn’t get tickets for the flight?
B: Well there was a last-minute cancellation, so we’re leaving tomorrow.
Lilly: 聽起來，last-minute 可以作為一個形容詞 來修飾名詞，比如 last-minute cancellation 最后一刻取消訂票。是的，有些人就是習(xí)慣把事情托到最后一刻才去做。
Vicki: Yes, you always leave it til the last minute! Do you often leave things til the last minute Lilly?
Lilly: Unfortunately yes – all the time. My Mum always used to say to me – why do you always leave things til the last minute?
Vicki: I’m quite bad at getting things done on time too. If I have an exam, I always leave studying until the last minute. And if I have a birthday present to buy I always forget…
Lilly: And you have to go out and do some last-minute shopping! You’re just like me!
Vicki: So we’re both last-minute people! Anyway, that’s today’s expression last-minute.
Lilly: 最后一刻 –-非要把事情留到最后一刻做。 And that’s all we have time for today.
Vicki: Yes, you’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. We’ll see you next time.
Lilly: 再見!
