下载文字Diarmuid: Hi everybody. It"s time for another edition of Authentic Real English from bbcukchina.com. I"m Diarmuid.
Jean: And I"m Jean. So what"s the programme about today Diarmuid?
Diarmuid: Good question Jean. Today"s programme is about…
(Sound FX – paper shuffling)
Diarmuid: …erm, sorry about this Jean, but I have printed out the wrong script. I"ve only got the scripts for last week"s programme.
Jean: What?!
Diarmuid: I"ve got the wrong scripts, I"m afraid.
Jean: (angry) Diarmuid, why do you always make these silly mistakes?
Diarmuid: Sorry Jean. I just made a little mistake, that"s all.
There"s no need to get so shirty
Jean: 他老是犯这种低级错误，根本就靠不住！But it"s not the first time this has happened, is it?
Diarmuid: But I-
Jean: 我说话的时候，别打断我！I"m fed up with your unprofessional attitude and sloppy work!
Diarmuid: Jean-
Jean: No, you need to hear this. You should prepare properly for coming to the studio so this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.
Diarmuid: All right Jean. I accept what you say but there"s no need to get so shirty!
Jean: Shirty? What do you mean shirty?
Diarmuid: Shirty. S.H.I.R.T.Y. Shirty. I suppose that could be our word for the day.
Jean: 简直是典型的穆达反应，又在编瞎话。
Diarmuid: Yes, let"s learn the word shirty.
Jean: All right then. What does it mean? Something to do with shirts, I suppose.
Diarmuid: No nothing to do with shirts. It"s an easy word and it means angry.
Jean: Shirty 意思是发怒了，心情不好的。So we can use this word instead of the word angry?
Diarmuid: Absolutely. Let"s hear some examples:
Example
A: Where are the car keys? They"re not where they"re supposed to be!
B: Ok, ok. Don"t get shirty. Here they are.
A: Watch out. The boss is in a terrible mood today.
B: Oh, he"s always getting shirty about something.
Diarmuid: I hope you"re not feeling so shirty now Jean.
Jean: I wasn"t shirty. I was just letting you know how I feel.
Diarmuid: Well, at least we managed to teach the listeners a new word.
Jean: I suppose so. 大家也可以在我们的网站上每天发现新节目。
Diarmuid: That"s www.bbcukchina.com. Bye for now.
Jean: Bye.
(pause)
Diarmuid: Well we got there in the end, eh Jean?
Jean: Just about.
(Sound FX – paper shuffling)
Diarmuid: Oh, what"s this? Ah. How embarrassing.
Jean: What is it?
Diarmuid: Er… It"s the missing scripts.
Jean: (exasperated) Ahh! Diarmuid!
