Get Flash Player : Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC UK China. I'm and I'm joined today by Jen. Jennifer: Hi there, we're going to go on a day trip today - and we're going to explore how the colour red fits into London life. I've packed my sandwiches... : And I've got my camera - let's go! (Out on the street) Jennifer: So here we are on Oxford Street - it's one of the busiest streets in London. So let's play a game: how many red things can you see? You go first, ! : 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. That's 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. : 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? : 好主意。我可以把头伸到窗外去观景了!(Bus drives past) 哎,为什么没停呢! Jennifer: That's so annoying! It really makes me see red! |
