Jo: I’m Jo and you’re listening to Real English from BBC Learning English.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Jean: 在我们的《地道英语》节目中,我们将学到一些现代英式英语的新词汇和新说法 。
Jo: Our word today is ‘booze’ – B.O.O.Z.E. – booze.
Jean: Booze. Could you explain what that means?
Jo: Well, booze is a slang word meaning alcohol.
Jean: 原来booze就是喝的酒的意思 。
Jo: I’ll explain a little more. Booze is a noun and a verb, so you can drink booze in a pub or go to a pub to booze.
Jean: Booze 这个词既可以当名词也可以作动词 。Does it have any other forms?
Jo: Well, you can make the word ‘boozer’, which has two meanings. It means either a pub, or a person who drinks a lot of booze.
Jean: 原来boozer就是喝酒的地方,酒馆的意思 , 或者也可以用来形容那种爱酗酒的酒鬼 。
Insert
A: Are you co**** down the boozer tonight for a drink?
B: I would love to, but the doctor says I can’t drink any booze at the moment. I’m taking medicine.
A: Where’s Rob?
B: I don’t know. He’s probably gone out boozing with his friends.
Jean: Do you have much booze at home, Jo?
Jo: No, I prefer to go out for a meal or to a bar if I want any booze.
Jean: And do you drink a lot of booze or go out boozing often?
Jo: I can’t believe you asked me that!
Jean: I’m only joking! I know you don’t!
Jo: Well, I should hope so. I like the occasional glass of booze, but I’m definitely not a boozer!
Jean: 好啦,让我们再来回顾一下吧 – booze – 是酒的一种非正式称呼 。Boozer既可以当酒馆也可以是酒鬼的意思 。不过 it looks like we have to finish there.
Jo: Yes, we have to go. 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.
