Neil
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English with me Neil…
Li
…and me Li. Hello.
Neil
In this programme, we’re talking about clothes.
Li
(very excited) 衣服! 這可是我最喜歡的話題了 my favourite subject in the whole world! 我通曉所有的名牌,也都穿過。咱們就來談談我的衣服吧 let’s talk about MY clothes.
Neil
Well… actually Li, I thought we could talk about our smalls.
Li
Smalls 小衣服?你認為我穿的衣服太小?你不是在說我胖吧?
Neil
No, no Li. You look fine. ‘Smalls’ is a word we use for underwear.
Li
Smalls 內衣褲。這麼說你是在談論女人和男人內褲啦、襪子啦還有女人帶的胸罩啦什麼的…
Neil
Yes. And we can refer to our underwear as ‘smalls’ or ‘undies’.
Li
Undies 內衣內褲。這倒挺容易記的,因為 undies 就是我們穿在外衣里面的衣服。
Neil
Two easy words to remember when you talk about underwear. And remember they are always plural.
Li
I see. 這兩個詞永遠都是以複數形式出現,所以決不能說 one undie 或者 one small. 記住這兩個詞是統稱的內衣褲所以要加複數。
Neil
Yes. Let’s hear some examples of how these words are used.
Examples
Linda, hurry up or we’ll miss the plane! Don’t forget to pack your smalls!
Billy, don’t walk around the house in your undies. Your granny is coming to visit and she’ll be here at any time.
Neil
Now don’t forget that these words for underwear are very informal and British slang.
Li
請大家記住這兩個詞是非正式用語,而且屬于英語中的俚語。Well, smalls and undies can look good too – even if not many people will see them.
Neil
Oh, you want to talk about fashion now.
Li
Of course. I love fashion! Do you love fashion, Neil?
Neil
Er… not much… no.
Li
Come on! Come on, Neil! Let’s go shopping! I can help you choose the trendiest clothes… you’ve got to have style. Let’s go! Come on!
Neil
OK. OK.
Li
Bye!
