2014-02-12来源:和谐英语

Jennifer: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. My name is Jennifer and Li is with me here in the studio.

詹妮弗:大家好,欢迎来到“我们所说的英语”。我叫詹妮弗。在这儿和我一起的是小李。
Li: Hello everyone. What have you been doing this morning, Jen?

小李:大家好!詹妮弗,你今天早晨在做什么?
Jennifer: Oh I've been playing on this great new game on my smartphone. It's a puzzle where you have to find matching pictures of fruit. Now it sounds easy, but it's really addictive.

詹妮弗:噢,我一直在玩我智能手机上的这个新游戏。这是一个拼图游戏,在里面你必须找到相应的水果的图片。这听起来很容易,但实际上真的很让人上瘾。
Li: I love puzzles like this, especially when they're really addictive. Can I have a go?

小李:我喜欢这样的拼图游戏,特别是当它们引人上瘾的时候。我可以试试吗?
Jennifer: Yes, you can. In fact, I'm stuck on level 33. I can't complete it at all. Why don't you see if you can do it for me? It's doing my head in!

詹妮弗:当然可以。事实上,我卡在第33级了。我完全完不成。要不你看看能不能帮我吧。真让人受不了。
Li: OK, give it to me and I'll see what I can do. Jen said that the computer game is 'doing her head in'. If something is 'doing your head in', it means it is frustrating or annoying.

小李:好啊。交给我吧我来看看。詹妮弗刚才说这个电脑游戏让她受不了。如果某事“让你受不了”,这表示这件事很令人疲惫,或者很令人厌烦。
Jennifer: It's a phrase which is often used by young people, it's a slang phrase. Let's hear some examples of how you might use it:

詹妮弗:这是一个年轻人常用的短语。这是个俚语短语。让我们来看一些例子,来看看我们怎么用这个单词:
(shouting) Can you please turn that music down? It's so loud and it's really doing my head in!

(叫喊着)你能不能把音乐关小点儿,那么吵真是受不了。
I've done all my maths homework, except question two. I can't work out the answer and it's really doing my head in.

我做完了所有的数学作业,除了第二题。我实在算不出来,真是让我受不了。
I hate it when people drop litter in the street - it does my head in to see so much rubbish everywhere.

我讨厌别人在街上乱扔垃圾。看到到处都是那么多的垃圾我真的受不了。
Jennifer: So the computer game is doing my head in because I find it difficult. It's frustrating.

詹妮弗:这电脑游戏真是让我受不了因为我觉得太难了,令人疲惫。
Li: You can also say that people are doing your head in, if they annoy you in some way.

小李:你也可以说别人让你受不了,如果他们以某种方式烦扰你。
I don't want to invite Sonia to the Christmas party. She gossips all the time. She really does my head in.

我不想邀请索尼娅来圣诞派对。她就知道讲八卦,真是让人受不了。
Jennifer: So 'doing your head in' is a really useful phrase to know, wouldn't you agree, Li?

詹妮弗:所以“让人受不了”真是一个很有用的短语,你觉得呢,小李?
Li: (ignoring Jen but playing computer game) Yes! Yes!

小李:(无视詹妮弗的话,继续玩游戏)太棒了!
Jennifer: Li, I said: 'doing your head in is a really useful phrase'.

詹妮弗:小李,我刚才说“‘让人受不了’真是一个有用的短语。”
Li: (still playing the game) Hang on... If I can just match these pictures... Yes! Level 34!

小李:(依旧在玩游戏)等等,只要我能拼完这些图。。。太棒了,第34级!
Jennifer: Li, it's been five hours. I need my phone back now.

詹妮弗:小李,四个小时了,我现在要拿回我的手机了。
Li: But I'm on to level 79 - just let me get to level 80 and I'll give it back to you.

小李:但我现在在79级,我玩到80级就还给你。
Jennifer: Oh Li, you're really doing MY head in. Join us again for another edition of The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. Bye!

詹妮弗:噢,小李,你真是让我受不了。加入我们下一期的BBC学英语之“我们所说的英语”。再见!
