Legend Feifei: Hello and welcome to the Authentic Real English. Were in Finns kitchen, and hes hard at work. Finn: Hello. Feifei: Finn. What are you doing? Finn: (Sawing sounds) Just sawing this table. Feifei: Sawing the table? Why? Finn: To make it round; a nice round shape. Feifei: OK? Not quite sure why? Finn: So I can have a round table. Like King Arthur... Feifei: 你是说像亚瑟王一样?英国传说 the legend 亚塞王和圆桌骑士团?Finn, that sounds a bit weird. Finn: OK fine, dont laugh. Actually, hang on, Im not very good at DIY. My saw is stuck - it wont move. Feifei: Give me that. You need to do it like this, nice and smooth. Finn: Thanks Feifei, youre a legend. Feifei: 别客气!A legend. 这里 legend 不是指像亚瑟王或其他来神话和传说里的人物,这里我们用 legend 来形容生活中你身边的人。 Finn: Yes - in British slang, we say someone is a legend if they do something very helpful, very generous or very successfully - like in these examples : Thank you for that matey - you helped so much with the party today. Youre a legend. A: Hey, I found your car keys. |
