The script of this programme 本节目台词
Jean: Hello everybody and welcome to another Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English with me Jean.
Diarmuid: And me Diarmuid.
Jean: So, what are we going to talk about today Diarmuid?
Diarmuid: I want to talk about my sister"s wedding.
Jean: Ah, how nice! 穆达的姐姐要结婚了。 That will be a wonderful day. I"m sure you"re looking forward to it.
Diarmuid: Yes, I am looking forward to it… being over.
Jean: Oh, you don"t sound very happy about it.
Diarmuid: Between you and me Jean, since she started planning this wedding, my sister has become very, how can I put it? Demanding.
Jean: Demanding 有很多要求的。
Diarmuid: Bossy.
Jean: Bossy 爱发号施令的。
Diarmuid: Even a bit hysterical.
Jean: Hysterical 情绪异常激动地。 结婚不是喜气洋洋的事儿吗?怎么会成了爱发号施令,要求繁琐的情况了呢? Bossy, demanding - but why? A wedding day should be a happy occasion.
Diarmuid: Basically, she"s out of control. She"s become a bridezilla!
Jean: Bridezilla? 听起来又像是一个穆达特别喜欢用的混合词。 Is that a word made by putting two other words together?
Diarmuid: Yes, and it"s today"s word. Bridezilla. B.R.I.D.E.Z.I.L.L.A. Bridezilla. It"s a combination of the words bride…
Jean: 新娘。
Diarmuid: And Godzilla.
Jean: Godzilla 哥斯拉。 这是个在日本和美国动画片和电影中出现过的怪兽。 Bridezilla 就是把这两个字合起来,形容那些行为变得非常难以令人接受的准新娘们,简直就是新娘怪物了。
Diarmuid: She"s telling everyone what to do. She"s demanding that everything is perfect for her big day. And if she doesn"t get what she wants, she gets really upset.
Jean: What a nightmare!
Example
A: It"s my wedding and it has to be perfect! It has to be a like a fairytale wedding and if it isn"t perfect then I"ll never forgive you. It"s my special day and everything has to be the way I want it!
B: Alright, alright, no need to be a bridezilla.
Jean: I"m sure your sister isn"t as bad as the bride in the example there.
Diarmuid: Maybe not, but she certainly knows how to let everyone know when she"s not happy.
Jean: All women know how to do that Diarmuid.
Diarmuid: And quite a few men too.
Jean: Well, that"s all for today now. Now when is the wedding?
Diarmuid: It"s at the weekend so wish us all luck.
Jean: I"m sure she won"t become a monster.
Diarmuid: I hope so. Please join us again soon for more Authentic Real English on our website.
