A finger in every pie Rosie: Hi and welcome to Authentic Real English. Today were having an office party with the whole BBC Learning English team. Helen: And were eating some delicious cakes and pies that Jen has baked for us. 我的同事 Jen 还带来了她做的蛋糕和水果派。Have you tried the apple tart? Rosie: Mmm... Its so tasty... Jen really has a lot of different skills, doesnt she? Helen: Yeah, she really gets involved in loads of different activities. 她做好多事情，可忙了。Shes always organising different parties, goes rowing... and did you know she works as a weather presenter at the weekend too? Rosie: And shes a really good cook - this blueberry crumble is just delicious. She really does have a finger in every pie. Helen: Err, really? 这些糕点味道是不错，不过 Jen 把手指放在里面，太不卫生了吧!I think Ive just lost my appetite. Rosie: Thats not what I meant when I said she has a finger in every pie. It means she gets involved in a lot of different things . Helen: 你是说如果某人 has a finger in every pie, 意思是他们做很多事情，样样活动都参与。 Is it a good thing then? Rosie: Well, in this case, when I said Jen has a finger in every pie I meant it as a good thing, but it can sometimes suggest someone gets involved in things when they shouldnt. |
