Li: Welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Li. I've got a word connected to love to teach you today... But where's Finn? I'll call his mobile.

莉：歡迎收聽地道英語節目。我是莉。今天我要跟大家講解一個與愛情有關的詞彙……可是芬恩去哪裏了？我打他手機看看。

(Phone ringing as Finn comes in breathless)

（芬恩上氣不接下氣的走進演播室時，手機響了）

Finn: Hi Li. Sorry I'm late. I just couldn't get away.

芬恩：嗨，莉。抱歉我遲到了。我剛纔無法脫身。

Li: Oh! Finn, there you are. You couldn't get away, from what?

莉：哦！芬恩，你終於來了。你因爲什麼無法脫身？

Finn: You know I gave a presentation at lunch time about our new Shakespeare series?

芬恩：我在午飯時間就BBC推出的莎士比亞新劇集進行了介紹，你知道吧？

Li: Yeah, but that finished over an hour ago.

莉：知道，不過那在一個小時前就應該結束了。

Finn: Yeah, yeah I know. But this woman from the marketing department kept asking me questions. You know, she said she loves Shakespeare.

芬恩：對，是這樣。可是市場部的一名女性一直在問我問題。她說她非常喜歡莎士比亞。

Li: Was anyone else there?

莉：那兒還有其他人嗎？

Finn: No, it was just the two of us. I tried to get away but she kept asking more and more questions.

芬恩：沒有，就我們兩個人。我一直嘗試脫身，可是她問的問題越來越多。

Li: Oh dear Finn, I think it might be you that she fancies, not Shakespeare.

莉：哦天哪，芬恩，我想她喜歡的不是莎士比亞，她喜歡的是你。

Finn: Oh, you think so? Oh, and actually, that is a good word to learn. If you fancy someone, you find them physically attractive.

芬恩：哦，你是這麼想的？這是要學習一下的詞。如果你喜歡某人，意思是你認爲他們的外表很有吸引力。

Li: Yes, that's a good definition. Let's hear some examples:

莉：對，這個解釋不錯。我們來聽些例句：

Li: So if you fancy someone, you want to go out with them, don't you?

莉：如果你喜歡某人，那你就會想和那個人出去約會，是不是？

Finn: Yes, you do. Actually, that woman at the Shakespeare presentation was very nice… You know, interesting, pretty…

芬恩：是這樣的。實際上，我在莎士比亞新劇介紹會上見到的那名女性人很好……她風趣又漂亮……

Li: It sounds like you fancy her as well, don't you, Finn?

莉：聽起來你也喜歡她，是不是，芬恩？

Finn: Well, I think she fancies me more. Look at this!

芬恩：嗯，我想她喜歡我更多一些。看看這個！

Li: Wow! Did she give you this box of chocolates?

莉：哇！她送了你這盒巧克力嗎？

Finn: Yes, nice isn’t it? Do you fancy one?
