我们讲的英语第141期:Bounce 离开

William: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is William Kremer.
威廉：大家好，欢迎收听地道英语节目。我是威廉·克莱默。

Li: I'm Yang Li.
莉：我是杨莉。

William: Li, do you mind if we don't look at a phrase today?
威廉：莉，我们今天不学习短语，你介意吗？

Li: Don't look at a phrase? So what do you want to do today instead?
莉：不学习短语？那你今天想做什么呢？

William: Erm, nothing actually. I've got to go and meet a friend at the airport.
威廉：嗯，实际上也没什么。我要去机场接一个朋友。

Li: So what are you saying, William? That you don't have time for today's programme?
莉：威廉，你在说什么？你没有时间主持今天的节目了吗？

William: Is that all right?
威廉：这样行吗？

Li: Oh well...
莉：哦……

William: Well, thanks Li! I'm just going to bounce.
威廉：嗯，谢谢你，莉！我要离开了。

Li: Hey, William, wait, wait! What do you mean? What did you say just now?
莉：嘿，威廉，等等！你是什么意思？你刚刚说了什么？

William: I'm just going to bounce; I'm going to leave.
威廉：我要离开了；我要走了。

Li: I think we need to hear another example of that phrase.
莉：我想我们需要听听这个短语的其他例子。

Man: Hey Tom-where are you going? The party's just getting started!
男：嗨，汤姆，你要去哪啊？派对马上就要开始了！

Man 2: Ah sorry dude, I gotta bounce. I'm on an early shift tomorrow.
男2：啊，抱歉，伙计，我要走了。我明天要上早班。

Li: In that clip we heard someone saying he had to leave a party.
莉：刚刚我们听到一个人说他必须要从聚会上离开。

William: Yes, that's right. He said "I gotta bounce".
威廉：对，没错。他说“我要离开了”。

Li: To bounce usually means for something to go up and down. But where does this slang usage come from, William?
莉：bounce通常是指某个东西上下晃动。不过威廉，这个俚语来自哪里？

William: Well, 'bounce' meaning 'to leave' comes from the USA and it's urban slang, so it's something that young cool kids might say.
威廉：bouce这个词的离开一意来自美国，这是一个城市俚语，这是一个很酷的孩子们会使用的词。

Li: Not you, then.
莉：那就不是你用的词了。

William: What do you mean?
威廉：你什么意思？

Li: Well you're not young or cool. You are a middle-class Englishman in his thirties.
莉：嗯，你既不年轻也不酷。你是一个三十几岁的英国中产男子。

William: Li, that's not fair! I listen to hip hop. And one of my jumpers has a hood.
威廉：莉，这不公平！我会听嘻哈乐。我还有一件带兜帽的毛衣呢。

Li: Anyway, we have talked about a phrase now. So if you like, you can bounce now.
莉：不管怎么说，我们已经讲了一个短语。所以如果你愿意的话，那你现在就可以走了。

William: Right. Bouncing.
威廉：好的。我走了。

Li: Now that he's gone let's relax with some nice music...
莉：既然他已经离开了，我们来听一些优美的音乐放松一下……
