The english we speak(BBC教學)第64期: drop dead gorgeous帥呆了
Jen: Hello, I'm Jennifer. Welcome to The English We Speak. I'm joined today by Li - hi Li!
珍：大家好，我是珍妮佛。歡迎來到我們所說的英語。今天和我一起的是李，你好李！Li: Hello everyone.
李：大家好。Jen: I've been dying to see you all day. I met up with Rosie last night, and I met her new boyfriend too!
珍：我一整天都特別想見你。我昨晚遇見羅西了，而且還遇見了她的新男朋友！
Li: Oh, tell me more! What's he like?
李：哦，多告訴我點！他什麼樣？Jen: Well, he seemed very charming and intelligent, very kind too, but she hadn't told me that he is drop dead gorgeous!
珍：他看起來很有魅力，很聰明，也很善良，但是她沒有告訴我的是他帥死了！Li: What?
李：什麼？Jen: Yes, don't tell her, but I'd definitely say he is drop dead gorgeous!
珍：是的，不要告訴她，但是很確定的說他帥死了！Li: But... he's dead...? Do you mean he's actually dead, like a zombie? Or maybe he just looks dead. Sometimes when I'm tired I get dark circles under my eyes and look like death!
李：但是...他死了...?你是指他真的死了，和殭屍一樣？或者也許他看起來像死人。有時我很累眼睛下面就會有黑眼圈，看起來和死人一樣！Jen: Of course he's not dead - he's very much alive.
珍：他當然沒有死——他活得好好的。Li: So, what did you mean by 'drop dead gorgeous'?
李：那麼，你說的“帥死了”是什麼意思？Jen: It's just one of those phrases we use in English that you can't take too literally. If someone is described as 'drop dead gorgeous', it means they are really good looking.
珍：這只是我們在英語中所用的一個不能從字面理解的短語。如果某人被形容爲“帥死了”，意思是他們長得很好看。Li: Strange phrase...
李：奇怪的短語...Jen: Think of it this way: Imagine someone who is so good looking, so handsome, that your heart starts beating really fast, you start to feel short of breath, and you just drop down dead!
珍：把它這樣想：想象某人長得特別好看，特別帥，你的心開始跳的特別快，你開始呼吸急促，你幾乎要死掉一樣！Li: Someone so good looking, so handsome... Yes, I've thought of someone... My heart is beating fast just thinking of him!
李：某人特別好看，特別帥...是的，我想到了某個人...只是想到他我的心就跳的很快！Jen: OK, well, while you're thinking of your fancy man, let's hear some more examples of the phrase 'drop dead gorgeous' in action…
珍：好的，當你想你的夢中情人時，讓我們來聽更多的關於這個“帥死了”這個詞組的例子...Daniel Craig is in town for the premiere of the new James Bond film. I love him as Bond - he's drop dead gorgeous in a tuxedo!
丹尼爾克雷格來到城鎮首次露面新的詹姆斯邦德電影。他演的邦德我超級愛——他穿無尾禮服帥死了！I'm going on a date with a girl from my university next week. I can't believe she wants to go out with me - she's drop dead gorgeous.
我下週要和一個我們學校的女生約會。我不敢相信她想要和我出去，她美呆了。Jen: So you see, it's a great phrase to use when describing someone who is handsome or good looking, like Rosie's new man.
珍：所以你看到了，這個短語用在描述某人很帥或很美時很好用，就像羅西的男友。Li: It's a really good phrase and I'll definitely try to use it.
李：這真是個好的詞組，我絕對會試着使用它的。Jen: So, Li, are you going to tell me which handsome man you were thinking of earlier?
珍：那麼，李，你能告訴我你之前想到的帥氣的男人是誰嗎？Li: Well, I'd really rather not…
李：我不想說...Jen: Don't be like that! Who is it? Is it someone I know…?
珍：不要這樣！他是誰？是我認識的人嗎？Li: No!
李：不要！Jen: It is someone I know! Come on, Li, tell me, I won't tell anyone. Who do you think is drop dead gorgeous?
珍：是我認識的人！別這樣，李，告訴我，我不會告訴任何人的。你覺得誰帥呆了？Li: I can't... Look! There he is! Going past the window!
李：我不行...看！他來了！從窗戶外走過去了！Jen: But Li... that's... the boss?
珍：但是李，那是，老闆？Li: He really is drop dead gorgeous! Don't tell anyone!
李：他真的帥呆了！不要告訴任何人！Jen: Well, you might think he is drop dead gorgeous, but I think I am going to die laughing! Join us again for another edition of The English We Speak from . Bye!
珍：你或許覺得他帥死了，但是我覺得我要笑死了！加入我們來獲得其他版本的我們所說的英語。再見！Li: Bye!
李：再見！
