Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Jean: 和漢語一樣，英語語言里是充滿了成語和口語詞的，所以學(xué)習(xí)和了解這些短語和口語詞是非常有用的。尤其這些說法和語言都是英國人日常說到用到的。那Jo，我們今天要來學(xué)習(xí)的新詞是什么呢？
Jo: Today’s new expression is ‘whizz-kid’ – W.H.I.Z.Z. kid.
Jean: Whizz-kid. 你能給我們解釋一下這個詞的意思嗎？
Jo: Well, whizz-kid is an expression that means someone who is young, successful and very good at what they do.
Jean: 我知道了。Whizz-kid就是用來形容那種年紀(jì)很小就很能干很成功的人的，可以算是天才神童的意思。
Jo: It’s usually used in a business environment, or in the news talking about business.
Jean: 原來whizz-kid經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在商界或者新聞報道中。那請問Jo，你能給我們舉個例子叫我們怎么用這個詞嗎？
Jo: Many computer programmers are very young, and very successful, so you could call them computer whizz-kids.
Jean: I see.
Jo: But it doesn’t have to be computers.
A: I went to the Stock Market yesterday. I couldn’t believe how young the people working there are!
B: I know – financial whizz-kids!
Jean: How is your friend Bill, Jo?
Jo: Bill? Very well. He is working for the bank now.
Jean: But he is very young.
Jo: Yes, but he’s a financial whizz-kid. He’s brilliant with money.
Jean: 好了，讓我們回顧一下，– whizz-kid – 這個詞用來形容那種小小年紀(jì)就很能干很成功的天才神童人物。Whizz-kid! Well, it looks like we are out of time.
