內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

你可以怎樣在英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)會(huì)話中形容一個(gè)人的言行舉止有點(diǎn) “夸張”？主持人 Neil 開(kāi)會(huì)時(shí)穿了一件晚禮服，佳瑩用流行詞 “extra” 來(lái)形容他的穿著打扮 “很浮夸”。在日常生活中，應(yīng)該怎樣使用這個(gè)地道英語(yǔ)詞？聽(tīng)兩個(gè)人的對(duì)話，學(xué)一學(xué) “extra” 的含義和用法。

Jiaying
大家好，歡迎來(lái)到 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。

Neil
… and me, Neil.

Jiaying
Neil，你穿的這是什么呀？是晚禮服嗎？怎么還戴了一頂大禮帽？

Neil
Well, you said that I should dress smartly for our online meeting!

Jiaying
我是說(shuō)穿得像樣一點(diǎn)，不過(guò)，一件襯衫加一條領(lǐng)帶就足夠了。You’re so extra!

Neil
Extra what? Extra-cool? Extra-trendy? Extra-amazing? All true! Some call me a fashion icon!

Jiaying
Your mum calling you a fashion icon doesn’t count, Neil… 我們說(shuō)某個(gè)人 “extra” 的意思是這個(gè)人有點(diǎn) “太過(guò)頭” 或者 “太夸張” 了。

Neil
Wait – so you think this tuxedo is excessive? That I’m a bit extra? I’ll go and change into something more comfortable.

Jiaying
Yes, while you go and change, let’s listen to these examples.

Examples
Aunty Joan is so extra. She keeps asking when we’re going to have a second child.

Lee always sings karaoke and feels the need to say hello to everyone in the club. He’s really extra!

She’s always using such formal language and over-stressing syllables. She’s a bit extra.

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。我們正在介紹 “extra” 的用法。當(dāng)我們說(shuō)某件事情或者某人 “extra”，意思就是那件事情或者那個(gè)人 “夸張過(guò)頭了” 。

Neil
Yes! For example, Rob is a bit extra when it comes to his obsession with biscuits.

Jiaying
沒(méi)錯(cuò)！話說(shuō)回來(lái)，Neil，你現(xiàn)在穿的是什么呀？

Neil
Well – I said I’d put something more comfortable on – so I thought I’d put on my famous flamingo outfit! Do you like it?

Jiaying
I do, but you’re so extra! You know we have a meeting with our boss, right?

Neil
Yes – our boss has a matching flamingo costume too!

Jiaying
Well, in that case – it sounds like it’s going to be OK.

Neil
I’ve also decided I’m going to sing some opera to make the meeting more fun!

Jiaying
That sounds really extra! Bye, Neil.

Neil
Bye.
