　　Helen: 大家好，我是 Helen.
　　Neil: In Real English we look at words and phrases people use all the time, but you probably won’t find in your dictionary.
　　Helen: 希望在今天的地道英语节目中，您能学到在书本里找不到的英语常用表达。
　　Neil: Do you like rock or heavy metal music, Helen?
　　Helen: Hmm, not really. Neil 想知道我是不是喜欢听摇滚或者是重金属音乐。摇滚还行，heavy metal 就算了吧。
　　Neil: Oh really, but listen to this. It’s so cool! (Loud guitar music).
　　Helen: What are you doing Neil? 开什么玩笑啊！你干嘛假装弹吉他，还疯狂的摇头晃脑，你弹的可是空气啊。
　　Neil: I’m playing air guitar.
　　Helen: Air guitar?
　　Neil: Yes, air guitar.
　　Helen: It’s two words: A-I-R air, and G-U-I-T-A-R guitar.

　　A: Shall we go to Scandals night club tonight?
　　B: No it’s metal night.
　　A: What’s wrong with that?
　　B: It’ll be full of people with leather jackets playing air guitar on the dancefloor.
　　Helen: Is it common to see people playing air guitar?
　　Neil: If you go to a nightclub and they play a song with a guitar solo in it you can see lots of people pretending to play along. They’re playing air guitar.
　　Helen: 如果你到舞厅去玩的时候， 正好放一首吉他曲，那么在场可能有很多人会扮弹奏吉他的样子,以示兴奋或为音乐所痴狂。这就是所谓的空气吉他。
