BEC商务英语辅导 Fag 香烟

　　Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Neil.
　　Helen: And I'm Helen.
　　Neil: Today we're going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
　　Helen: 在今天的节目里，我们要一块儿来学学在英语中出现的新词儿
　　Neil: It's very important to stay up-to-date with English as new words and expressions enter the language all the time.
　　Helen: Neil, 今天的新词儿是什么呢？
　　Neil: Today’s new word is 'fag' – F.A.G. – fag.
　　Helen: 这个 Fag 是什么意思呀？
　　Neil: Well, fag is a slang word for cigarette.
　　Helen: 原来 fag 是香烟的俚语啊，那 Neil 我们应该怎么来用这个 fag 呢?
　　Neil: Well, in exactly the same way you use cigarette. It's a countable noun.
　　Helen: Fag 是个可数名词，和 cigarette 的用法一模一样。那我们来举个例子吧, Neil?
　　Neil: OK. If I offer you a cigarette, I could say 'Would you like a fag?'
　　Helen: Would you like a fag, 意思就是你要抽烟吗？
　　Neil: That's right. But then I'd say, 'Sorry, I don't smoke'!
　　Insert
　　A: Have you got any fags?
　　B: I've got a couple. You can have one if you like.
　　A: Could you put that fag out, please!
　　B: Sorry, I didn't realise this was a no smoking area.
　　Helen: Do you smoke fags then, Neil?
　　Neil: No. I don't like the smell.
　　Helen: 没错，吸烟有害健康。
　　Neil: Yes, but many people still smoke fags.
　　Helen: 为什么呢？
　　Neil: Well, it is very hard to stop smoking fags.
　　Helen: 是啊，想让人们停止吸烟是非常困难的。
　　Neil: Indeed. It is best if you never start smoking fags in the first place. Anyway, let’s recap – fag – is an informal word for cigarettes.
　　Helen: 对，fag 就是香烟的俚语，可别忘了啊。Neil, 我们的时间又要到了。
　　Neil: Yes, that's it. You've been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
　　Helen: 我们下次再见。
