The script of this programme 本节目台词

Helen:This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Helen.

Zoe:我是刘佳.

在今天的Real English中，我们来学一些英语中出现的新词儿和习惯用语

Helen:Today's new word is 'grub'. – G.R.U.B.

Zoe:Grub, 是什么意思呀？

Helen:Well, it's quite simple really. Grub is a slang or informal word for food.

Zoe:哦，听上去挺简单的嘛，grub就是吃的东西

那我能说'I buy my grub from the supermarket？'

Helen:Of course. But remember it's informal, and generally not used in formal situations.

Zoe:明白了，grub是用在非正式的场合，给我们举个例子吧，Helen?

Helen: Well, imagine you were in a very expensive restaurant. You wouldn't ask 'How is your grub?'. You'd better say 'How's your food?

Zoe:但是如果我去你家吃晚饭，就可以说'that was lovely grub'，对吗？

Helen:Yes, you could.

A: I'm so hungry. Have you got any grub?

B: Not much. I haven't been to the supermarket yet.

A: How was your trip to Mexico?

B: Quite good, but I didn't really like the grub.

Zoe:What sort of grub do you like, Helen?

Helen:Oh, most types. Chinese, of course, is my favourite grub of all!

Helen:It's true. What about you, can you cook?

Zoe:哈哈，不会。A bit of simple grub is about all I can do

Helen:Well, I don't know about you, but all this talk of grub is getting me hungry.

Zoe:我也是，would you like to go for dinner?

Helen:I'd love to. Anyway, let's recap – grub – is an informal word for food.

Zoe:记住啊，grub就是吃的东西。Helen, 时间要到了。

Helen: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.

Zoe: See you next time.
