The english we speak(BBC教学)第122期:Get lost 走开

Rob: Hello and welcome to the English We Speak. I'm Rob.

罗布：大家好，欢迎收看地道英语节目。我是罗布。

Helen: And hello, I'm Helen. And today we've decided to come outside for a walk in the beautiful English countryside.

海伦：大家好，我是海伦。今天我们决定外出，在英国美丽的乡村散步。

Rob: Mmmm, smell the wonderful fresh air. Isn't it great to be outdoors?

罗布：嗯，呼吸一下这清新的空气。在户外做节目是不是很棒？

Helen: Oh, well it was…but not now it's raining. Come on Rob, I think we should head back.

海伦：刚才是，可是现在正在下雨。罗布，快点，我想我们得回去了。

Rob: Hold on Helen. Not that way! According to the map, it's this way…

罗布：海伦，等等。不是那条路！地图上是这条路……

Helen: Rob, you're always wrong. Just follow me but hurry up; we're getting wet.

海伦：罗布，你总是错的。你只要跟着我就行了，快点。我们要淋湿了。

Rob: Oh, get lost!

罗布：哦，走开！

Helen: Get lost? We are lost!

海伦：迷路了？我们迷路了！

Rob: No Helen–get lost–I mean go away, leave me alone. Don't tell me the way to go.

罗布：不是，海伦，get lost的意思是走开，让我自己待着。别跟我说要走哪条路。

Helen: That's not a very nice thing to say.

海伦：这种话不太礼貌。

Rob: Well, it's what you can say to someone if they're really annoying you. So go away, get lost!

罗布：嗯，如果某人让你很烦，你就会他们这么说。所以，走开，靠边站！

Helen: OK, if you say so. I'm off. See you back at the car!

海伦：好，既然你这么说了。我就离开了。我在车上等你！

Rob: I'll get there first! OK, here are some other examples of using 'get lost':

罗布：我会先到车上的！这里还有一些这个说法的例子。

I'm tired of hearing about how you know everything. Just get lost!

我对你一直说你什么都知道感到厌烦。走开！

Get lost! I'm having a break so don't disturb me.

走开！我正在休息，别打扰我。

You say you climbed Mount Everest on your own?! Get lost, I don't believe you.

你说你独自攀登了珠穆朗玛峰？走开，我才不相信你。

Rob: Mmm, saying get lost is quite impolite so you need to be careful how you say it and who you say it to. Maybe I was a bit rude to Helen. Helen, Helen, come back…I didn't mean to be so rude.

罗布：嗯，滚开这个词很不礼貌，所以你要对你使用的方式和对谁说这句话备加小心。也许我刚刚对海伦有点儿无礼。海伦，回来……我不是有意要这么无礼的。

Helen: …well you weren't being very nice. Anyway, I was going to come back and find you.

海伦：嗯，可是你并不友好。不管怎么说，我会回去找你的。

Rob: And why was that Helen?

罗布：海伦，为什么呢？

Helen: Because I got lost. I needed the map!

海伦：因为我迷路了。我需要地图！

Rob: Ha. Well, here it is. Come on follow me.

罗布：哈哈。好吧，给你地图。来跟着我走吧。

Helen: OK Rob. See you next time.

海伦：好的，罗布。下次节目再见。

Both: Bye.

一起：再见。

Rob: Right, it's definitely this way.

罗布：好，绝对是走这条路。

Helen: Are you sure?

海伦：你确定吗？

Rob: Yes, that's what the map says.

罗布：确定，地图上是这么说的。

Helen: Rob you've got the map upside down!

海伦：罗布，你把地图拿反了！

Rob: Oh!

罗布：天哪！
