Li: Welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Li. I've got a word connected to love to teach you today... But where's Finn? I'll call his mobile.

莉：欢迎收听地道英语节目。我是莉。今天我要跟大家讲解一个与爱情有关的词汇……可是芬恩去哪里了？我打他手机看看。

(Phone ringing as Finn comes in breathless)

（芬恩上气不接下气的走进演播室时，手机响了）

Finn: Hi Li. Sorry I'm late. I just couldn't get away.

芬恩：嗨，莉。抱歉我迟到了。我刚才无法脱身。

Li: Oh! Finn, there you are. You couldn't get away, from what?

莉：哦！芬恩，你终于来了。你因为什么无法脱身？

Finn: You know I gave a presentation at lunch time about our new Shakespeare series?

芬恩：我在午饭时间就BBC推出的莎士比亚新剧集进行了介绍，你知道吧？

Li: Yeah, but that finished over an hour ago.

莉：知道，不过那在一个小时前就应该结束了。

Finn: Yeah, yeah I know. But this woman from the marketing department kept asking me questions. You know, she said she loves Shakespeare.

芬恩：对，是这样。可是市场部的一名女性一直在问我问题。她说她非常喜欢莎士比亚。

Li: Was anyone else there?

莉：那儿还有其他人吗？

Finn: No, it was just the two of us. I tried to get away but she kept asking more and more questions.

芬恩：没有，就我们两个人。我一直尝试脱身，可是她问的问题越来越多。

Li: Oh dear Finn, I think it might be you that she fancies, not Shakespeare.

莉：哦天哪，芬恩，我想她喜欢的不是莎士比亚，她喜欢的是你。

Finn: Oh, you think so? Oh, and actually, that is a good word to learn. If you fancy someone, you find them physically attractive.

芬恩：哦，你是这么想的？这是要学习一下的词。如果你喜欢某人，意思是你认为他们的外表很有吸引力。

Li: Yes, that's a good definition. Let's hear some examples:

莉：对，这个解释不错。我们来听些例句：
