內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

Neil 的新女友突然消失了，不接 Neil 的電話，也不回復(fù)短信。這是怎么回事？她會(huì)不會(huì)是在 “ghosting” Neil？聽(tīng)菲菲和 Neil 的對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代英式俚語(yǔ) “ghosting” 的意思和用法。

（關(guān)于臺(tái)詞的備注: 請(qǐng)注意這不是廣播節(jié)目的逐字稿件。本文稿可能沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過(guò)程中對(duì)節(jié)目做出的改變。）

Neil
Feifei, why are you cutting holes in that bed sheet?

Feifei
我在給今天晚上的聚會(huì)準(zhǔn)備服裝呢。我準(zhǔn)備打扮成一個(gè)女鬼 “a female ghost”。What about you?

Neil
I don’t really feel like it, Feifei.

Feifei
I thought you were bringing your new girlfriend?

Neil
Sadly not. She hasn’t replied to any of my messages for a whole week.

Feifei
Oh, sorry, Neil. Looks like she’s ghosting you.

Neil
No, like I just said, she’s not coming tonight. You’ll be the only ghost at the party, I’m afraid!

Feifei
我上面說(shuō)的 “ghosting” 和 “鬼” 沒(méi)有關(guān)系?！癎hosting” 是一個(gè)現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)俚語(yǔ)。如果你 “ghost” 某人，意思就是你突然停止和這個(gè)人的一切交流，沒(méi)有任何解釋。

Neil
Oh, right. Yes, she doesn’t answer my calls, doesn’t reply to my texts.

Feifei
That’s ghosting. 有些人會(huì)用突然消失 “ghosting” 的方法來(lái)結(jié)束一段戀情，正可謂是神出 “鬼” 沒(méi)，人間蒸發(fā)。

Neil
So, are you saying she wants to split up with me?

Feifei
I don’t know, but it’s not a very nice way to treat people. “Ghosting” 除了可以指在戀愛(ài)中，一個(gè)人 “突然消失”，它也可以用來(lái)描述朋友之間突然不再聯(lián)系對(duì)方。Anyway, help me cut this second eye out of my ghost costume while we play some examples.

Examples
Katya felt awful for weeks after being ghosted by a guy she really liked.

Keiko wanted to break up with her boyfriend but didn’t want to upset him. So when he suddenly started ghosting her, she actually felt relieved.

Jorge and Rafa used to hang out all the time at school. But once they started university, Jorge just ghosted Rafa.

Feifei
這里是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。在這集節(jié)目中，我們給大家介紹現(xiàn)代俚語(yǔ) “ghosting” 的意思和用法。And, Neil… there we are! One ghost costume. Thanks for your help.

Neil
Oh, I just want to know why, Feifei. Why is she ghosting me? What did I do wrong?

Feifei
Neil, that’s the difficult thing about ghosting. You won’t get those answers. Sorry.

Neil
Oh, it’s her.

Feifei
哎，快看看她說(shuō)什么？

Neil
“Sorry, Neil. I lost my phone last week and only just found it again. Call me. Kiss.”

Feifei
There you go!

Neil
She sent a kiss! Feifei, let’s make her a costume – I’m going to invite her to this party.

Feifei
OK! One more ghost costume?

Neil
No, I think I’ve had enough ghosts for one day.

Both
Bye.
