BBC地道英语:Chillax 放轻松、别紧张

The script of this programme 本节目台词

Wang Fei: (Screaming) Ahhh!!

Finn: Wang Fei, are you ok?

Wang Fei: No! (Screaming) Ahhh!!

Finn: Wang Fei, what's wrong?

Wang Fei: 录音间里有一只大黑蜘蛛！

Finn: Oh, Wang Fei, it's only a spider. Chillax!

Wang Fei: Chillax?!

Finn: Yes chillax. I'll get the spider. Now wait… hang on… got it. Better?

Wang Fei: Yes thanks. Finn 你刚才说的那个词是什么来着?

Finn: Chillax. It's a combination of two words. Can you guess them?

Wang Fei: Chill… and… lax… relax?

Don't worry - chillax!

Finn: Chill and lax, relax. Yes very good, chill and relax. It means the same as chill or chill out or relax. Just now I told you to chillax. So that means don't worry, relax.

Wang Fei: 我明白了，chillax 就是由 chill out 和 relax 两个词组成的。Chill out 是放松的意思。Relax 也是放松、休息的意思。刚才 Finn 让我 chillax, 就是让我别紧张，放松一点。

Finn: Yes, you can use it that way. For example:

Example

A: I'm so worried about going on my first date with Steven!

B: Chillax, it'll be ok. I'm sure you'll have a nice time.

Finn: So you can tell someone to chillax. You can also use it to talk about yourself – for example saying I want to chillax or I'm chillaxing.

Example

A: What are you doing tonight?

B: Nothing special, just going to chillax at home.

Wang Fei: Finn, chillax 是不是和 chill out 还有 relax 意思一样?

Finn: Well the meaning is the same but chillax is a newer expression, so you won't hear it as much.

Wang Fei: Great. By the way Finn, where did you put that spider?

Finn: The spider?

Wang Fei: Yes, the big, green spider.

Finn: Oh, erm, yeah, I think I left it on the desk.

Wang Fei: Really? Then what's that big, green thing climbing up your neck?

Finn: Eh? What? Ahhh!! Where?

Wang Fei: Ha ha. Chillax Finn! I was only kidding. 我和你开玩笑呢！

Finn: Very funny Wang Fei, ha ha ha. Bye for now everyone.

Wang Fei: Bye.
