    Yang Li: 大家好,我是 Yang Li. 歡迎收聽BBC 地道英語節(jié)目。
    Diarmuid: And I'm Diarmuid. Yes this is the programme where we introduce the latest English expressions. 我是圣保羅。這是介紹最新英語表達的節(jié)目。
    Yang Li: So what's the word for today? 今天要說的詞是什么呢?
    Diarmuid: Our hot, new word for today is: cool. 今天的詞很熱門也很新潮:酷。
    Yang Li: Cool? 酷?
    Diarmuid: Yes, cool. 是的,酷。
    Yang Li: But that's not new, it's been around for ages. 大家都知道 cool 這個詞兒,這根本不是新詞! Let's do another word. 但是這不是個新詞,已經(jīng)用很久了啊。
    Diarmuid: Ok, I'm cool with that.
    Yang Li: Aha, I see! 原來 Diarmuid 把 cool 的用法變了變。在英語里 cool with something 的意思就是沒問題。Are you happy with my explanation, Diarmuid? 你對我的解釋滿意嗎?
    Diarmuid: Yes, I'm cool with it. 是的,我沒有問題。
    Yang Li: Great. So shall we move on to the examples? 很棒。我們來看例子。
    Diarmuid: Yeah, that's cool. 是的,不錯。
    Yang Li: 和 I'm cool with that 意思和用法類似的另一個表達是 that's cool. 如果有誰提了個好建議,你也覺得很好,愿意參加,那么你就可以說 that's cool. Sorry to delay the programme with another explanation. 用另外一種說明來說“抱歉,節(jié)目延時了?!?BR>    Diarmuid: Seriously, that's cool. No problem. 說真的,沒事。
    Yang Li: Are you doing this deliberately? Diarmuid 把 that's cool 重新又說了一遍,但是這次的用法和意思又不一樣了。這次是在我抱歉以后,他說 that's cool 意思是沒關(guān)系,沒問題。 Right, examples.
    Diarmuid: Cool.
