【句子】This stupid phone gets no reception in this stupid house! 【Modern Family S3E17】

【发音技巧】stupid phone不完全爆破；stupid house不完全爆破；

今天节目中，我们来学习一下这里reception的用法；

有些同学可能学过，reception有“接待”的意思和用法。

可以指the act of welcoming someone or something；

receptionist 还有相应的“接待人员”这样的含义；

比如说看下面这个例子：

eg: The new hospital was ready for the reception of its first patients.

这家新开的医院已经准备好接待第一批患者了。

今天关键句中reception又是什么意思呢？相当于signal“信号”或者“接收到的电视/电台信号的质量”。the quality of radio and television signals that are broadcast

If you get good reception from your radio or television, the sound or picture is clear because the signal is strong. If the reception is poor, the sound or picture is unclear because the signal is weak.

今天视频中的这句话，我们也可以说成：This stupid phone gets no signal. 是一样的意思；

下面我们看几个例子：

eg: We live on the top of a hill and so we get excellent radio reception.

我们住在山顶上，所以收音机接收信号的效果很好。

eg: Adjust the aerial's position and direction for the best reception.

调整天线的位置和方向以获得最佳接收效果。

eg: Cellphone users were complaining of poor reception.

手机用户抱怨信号差。

eg: The phone reception is really bad out here in the woods.

这儿的树林里电话信号特别差。
