Rob
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Rob.
Feifei
大家好，我是馮菲菲。在每集節目中，我們會給大家介紹一個你可能在字典里找不到，但英國人日常生活中常用的表達。Rob, what’s that you’re holding there?
Rob
Oh this, just a ticket to see one of my favourite rock bands in concert – The Rolling Thrones.
Feifei
Oh great – and I see you’ve got more than one ticket.
Rob
Yes, that’s right, a few of us from the office are going – it’s tonight and I’m very excited.
Feifei
今天晚上要去參加一個搖滾音樂會，竟然還和辦公室其他人一起去，怎麼不邀請我呢？Rob, it sounds fun – maybe I could get a ticket and join you?
Rob
Why? You don’t like rock music and you always stay in and wash your hair on a Thursday – or so you tell me anyway. Oh Feifei, I think you’ve got FOMO.
Feifei
我得了“FOMO”？是什麼？很嚴重嗎？Is that why you didn’t invite me? Oh dear, should I go and see a doctor?
Rob
No, no, don’t see a doctor. FOMO is an acronym for ‘fear of missing out’. It’s a worried feeling you have that other people are doing fun things when you are not – you’re missing out!
Feifei
原來 FOMO 是“fear of missing out”的縮寫。FOMO 形容擔心錯過別人去參加的活動或所做的有趣的事情，這種焦慮通常是由于在社交網絡中看到了別人發送的帖子而引起的。咱們先來聽幾個例句。
Examples
I know Martha’s got FOMO, she’s been moaning about not being invited to Wang’s karaoke party – but she doesn’t even like karaoke!
All my friends are going on holiday together but I can’t afford it so I’ve got FOMO.
There’s a message on Weibo that all the tickets to that gig are sold out – now I have a feeling of FOMO!
Feifei
FOMO – fear of missing out 是一種擔心錯過一個活動或一件事情的焦慮心情。 Well Rob, now I know what it means, I know I haven’t got it. 我只是想和你們一起聚聚。
Rob
Sorry Feifei, even if you could get a ticket, it’s boys only I’m afraid.
Feifei
Oh look, I’ve got a message on my social media feed – is the lead singer of your band called Mick Dagger?
Rob
That’s him – the finest rock singer around – why?
Feifei
It says here: “He’s fallen down the stairs and broken his leg”. 今晚的演唱會被取消了！
Rob
Cancelled? Oh no. Err, what did you say you were doing tonight?
Feifei
Washing my hair.
Rob
Right, any chance I could come round… watch a movie, get a takeaway?
Feifei
Oh dear Rob. Have you got FOMO now? Bye.
Rob
Bye.
