Have a Crush on 喜欢上谁了
The script of this programme 本节目台词
Tracy: Hello, welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Tracy.
Li: 大家好，我是 Yang Li.
Tracy: I think I should tell everyone that Li and I have just been reading some celebrity magazines.
Li: 是的，我们今天收集了不少名人明星的花边新闻。
Tracy: We’ve been reading about the lives and loves of our favourite celebrities.
Li: I discovered that Brad Pitt is Tracy’s favourite celebrity.
Tracy: I might have a little crush on him.
Li: 看来你要加入Brad Pitt 成千上万的粉丝队伍了。
Tracy: Yes. Li, did you notice the phrase I used when I was talking about Brad?
Li: You said that you might have a little crush on him.
Looks like Tracy's not the only one who has a crush on Brad...
Tracy: Exactly, I said I have a crush on Brad Pitt, but just a little one.
Li: So if you say you have a crush on someone, does that just mean that you like them?
Tracy: It means a little bit more than that. It means you think they are good looking or hot or cute. It means that you fancy them.
Li: To fancy someone 就是喜欢上了谁。
Tracy: And usually when you have a crush on someone, that person doesn’t know how you feel. It’s a secret.
Li: A secret crush.
Tracy: Yes.
Li: Is there anyone else you have a secret crush on?
Tracy: I’m not telling you.
Li: 好，让我们听听别的英国人都喜欢哪几个名人明星。
Example
I’ve always had a huge crush on Shu Qi, I think she is gorgeous.
I don’t usually tell people about this. It’s a bit embarrassing. I’ve got a secret crush on the office cleaner.
Li: 为什么有的人会说他们对某人有 a little 或者 a huge crush 呢？喜欢上哪个人有这么多不同的程度吗？
Tracy: Yes, a huge or serious crush can cause very powerful feelings. You might long for a person.
Li: To long for a person 就是非常的渴望某人。
Tracy: But most crushes are not that serious. Sometimes it’s just a phase that someone goes through.
Li: A phase 就是一个人生的“时期”或者“阶段”。那 Tracy 你自己像这样的时期又经过了多少个呢？
Tracy: I’m not telling.
Li: So is your crush on Brad Pitt just a phase?
Tracy: Yes, but I guess I’ve always thought he was quite good looking. I think lots of other people are cute too. I guess I have a little crush on quite a few celebrities.
Li: Well I have an idea. Let’s end today’s programme here and you can tell me about all of the other celebrities that you have a crush on.
Tracy: That could take a while.
Li: Thanks for listening to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English.
Tracy: Join us next time at www.bbcchina.com.cn. Bye.
Li: Bye.
Take Stock, Size Up and Scrutinise 三个有用的词组
I have a question about three words. The first word is take stock, the second is size up, the third is scrutinise. I don’t know the words’ difference. So would you like to tell me about these words?
Albert
This week Li and William answer a question from our listener Albert about three words, all of which are very useful in business:
Take stock
Size up
Scrutinise
Can you guess which of these three phrases is the most formal? The answer is in the programme.
1. Take Stock
We use take stock when we want to review a situation or look back at a process.
A year after the company introduced the helpline, they did a review to take stock of their customer service.
“It’s been an interesting morning. Shall we chat over lunch to try and take stock?”
2. Size Up
We use this phrase to describe getting a general idea of something or somebody we don’t know.
“I only joined last week. I’m still sizing up my new team.”
“It’s a huge project. It’s taken me two weeks just to size it up”.
When you scrutinise something, you look at it closley
3. Scrutinise
If we scrutinise (or scrutinize in the US) something, we examine it very carefully.
“Get the lawyers to scrutinise that contract as closely as possible.”
A special committee scrutinised the activities of the organisation.
Listen to the programme for more examples of these words in use.
Don’t forget, if you have a question about English, email it to questions.chinaelt@bbc.co.uk. We may answer it in this programme.
