To see red Feifei: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC UK China. Im Feifei and Im joined today by Jen. Jennifer: Hi there, were going to go on a day trip today - and were going to explore how the colour red fits into London life. Ive packed my sandwiches... Feifei: And Ive got my camera - lets go! (Out on the street) Jennifer: So here we are on Oxford Street - its one of the busiest streets in London. So lets play a game: how many red things can you see? You go first, Feifei! Feifei: 站在伦敦街头能看见很多红色的东西。你看，那边有一个红色的邮筒 a red post box. There are hundreds of them around the UK, although some of them were painted gold after the Olympics! Jennifer: Oh yes. Thats a good one. OK, my turn. There are a couple of red telephone boxes over there. Not many people use them nowadays, because almost everyone has mobile phones, but they are certainly another iconic symbol of London . Feifei: Iconic 有标志性的，我们常用这个词来形容那种具有特色和代表性的东西。就像红色的邮筒是非常有标志型的伦敦景色。 Here comes one of the most iconic symbols of London - a big, red double decker bus ! Jennifer: Shall we get on it and head over to Hyde Park for a stroll? |
