生活中有哪些人或事讓你贊不絕口、覺(jué)得酷呆了？主持人佳瑩本想用動(dòng)詞 “slay” 告訴 Roy，自己穿上新毛衣后 “看起來(lái)很酷炫”，卻引來(lái)了一場(chǎng)和 “vampires（吸血鬼）” 有關(guān)的小誤會(huì)。聽(tīng)一聽(tīng)兩人的對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)動(dòng)詞 “slay” 除了 “kill” 以外的另一個(gè)意思和用法。

大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。

Roy
… and me, Roy. Oh, I really like your jumper. Is that a vampire on the front?

Jiaying
Yes, it is! I slay!

Roy
I’m sorry? You do what?

Jiaying
I said that I slay. When you look this amazing, you are going to slay!

Roy
Whoa! Wait a second. Are you saying you’re going to kill vampires? I thought they weren’t real!

Jiaying
No, Roy! 你誤會(huì)了，我知道動(dòng)詞 “slay” 有 “kill（殺死）” 的意思，但它還表示 “看起來(lái)很酷、很精彩” 或者 “給人留下深刻的印象，讓人贊不絕口”。比如：I read a book last night – it slays! 昨天晚上我看了一本書，它太精彩了！

Roy
So, you’re not Jiaying the Vampire Slayer, then? Ha! That makes more sense! Well, your jumper is awesome. So, yes. It slays!

Jiaying
Exactly! Well, let’s talk about more things that slay after these examples.

Examples
He looks amazing today! He’s wearing a really smart suit – he slays!

Their house is incredible – decorated with true style and taste! And don’t get me started on the furniture – it slays!

She really slayed last night at the award ceremony. She looked amazing!

Jiaying
你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。以上，我們給大家介紹了動(dòng)詞 “slay” 除了 “kill” 以外的另一個(gè)意思和用法。如果某個(gè)人或事物 “slays”，意思就是 “這個(gè)人或事物看起來(lái)很酷、很精彩” 或者 “讓人贊不絕口”。

Roy
Yes, for example, last night, I watched a great film about vampires. It slays! I think that was why I was so scared earlier!

Jiaying
Well, don’t worry. Hey, do you know what else slays? My amazing smile!

Roy
Your teeth – they’re really sharp! You have fangs! Wait! Are you a vampire?

Jiaying
我當(dāng)然不是吸血鬼了。你上當(dāng)了吧！這可不是我的真牙，它是用來(lái)裝扮成吸血鬼的道具！你別說(shuō)，看起來(lái)還真像那么回事。They slay!

Roy
Wow, that’s the second time you’ve tricked me today! You’re hilarious! What are you drinking?

Jiaying
Just a fruit smoothie! It’s delicious! It slays!

Roy
It’s really red! Are you sure that’s a fruit smoothie?

Jiaying
Definitely – what else could it be? Mwahahahaha… Bye, Roy!

Roy
Bye!
