BEC商务英语辅导 Celeb 名人

　　Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m Jo.
　　Jean: And I’m Jean.
　　Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
　　Jean: 和汉语一样，英语语言里是充满了成语和口语词的，所以学习和了解这些短语和口语词是非常有用的。尤其这些说法和语言都是英国人日常说到用到的。那Jo，我们今天要来学习的新词是什么呢？
　　Jo: Today’s word is ‘celeb’ – C.E.L.E.B. – celeb.
　　Jean: Celeb. 给我们解释一下好吗？
　　Jo: Well, it’s quite simple. A celeb is a celebrity, or famous person, a star.
　　Jean: 原来celeb就是英语口语里“名人”的意思。
　　Jo: That’s right. You could say “All the celebs live in Hollywood”.
　　Jean: 或者你可以问 “Who is your favourite celeb?”
　　Insert
　　A: Look at the prices on the menu! This restaurant is really expensive!
　　B: Yes, but lots of celebs come here, that’s why!
　　Jo: Are you interested in celebs’ private lives, Jean?
　　Jean: Not really. And you?
　　Jo: Actually, yes. I really like reading magazines about the lives of celebs, their houses, hobbies etc.
　　Jean: Really?
　　Jo: Yes. My favourite celeb is Brad Pitt.
　　Jean: Why is he so interesting?
　　Jo: I like his films – and he’s a very handsome celeb!
　　Jean: Yes I agree.
　　Jo: Yes, he’s the kind of celeb I like!
　　Jean: 好了，让我们来回顾一下，a celeb就是像影星、歌星之类的名人明星。And that’s all we have time for today.
