Do you know any freeloaders?

英語(yǔ)發(fā)展日新月異，新詞不斷涌現(xiàn)。所以，與時(shí)俱進(jìn)，掌握最新流行詞匯至關(guān)重要。“地道英語(yǔ)”讓你親耳聽(tīng)到今天英國(guó)年輕人日常使用的語(yǔ)言和詞匯，可下載音頻，有文字對(duì)照。地道英語(yǔ)，真正地道!

Jo: Welcome to another Real English from BBC Learning English.

Oliver: 大家好，我是 Oliver，地道英語(yǔ)和大家一起學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代英式英語(yǔ)中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和實(shí)用表達(dá)。那 Jo,今天給我們帶來(lái)的新詞是什么呢?

Jo: Today' word Oliver is freeloader. F.R.E.E.L.O.A.D.E.R. freeloader.

Oliver: 這個(gè)詞是什么意思呢?

Jo: Well a freeloader is a person who would be happy to stay at your house, eat your food or spend your money for free – but they would never give you anything back in return.

Oliver: 啊哈，我知道了。這個(gè)詞兒指的是非常愿意接受，但是從不想回報(bào)的人。Load 的本意是裝載的意思，而 free 就是免費(fèi)的意思。放在一起就是免費(fèi)裝載!

Jo: Freeloader. Now do you have a similar word in Chinese Oliver?

Oliver: 有，freeloader 用中文可以說(shuō)白吃白喝或者吃白食的人。基本上是用在談?wù)撈渌说臅r(shí)候，很少當(dāng)著別人的面這么說(shuō)。

A: Have you noticed how Mike never buys a drink – we always buy him drinks but he never gets his money out.

B: I know. It gets on my nerves. He' such a freeloader.

Oliver: It' time to say goodbye and go for a cup of tea isn't it? Like we do after every programme Jo?

Jo: Well are you paying Oliver? I paid last time, and the time before, and the time before that – in fact you've never paid! In fact that' it – that' you – you're a freeloader, Oliver.

Oliver: 真想不到你會(huì)認(rèn)為我是白吃白喝、吃白食的人。為了證明你是錯(cuò)誤的，今天的晚飯我請(qǐng)，現(xiàn)在你可以收回你那句話(huà)了嗎？

Jo: Oh go on then, you're not really a freeloader! Anyway we've reached the end of the programme. That' all from Real English and BBC Learning English for today.
