  • Glorious sunshine, lovely swimming pool... Ah, this is the life! Oh, isn't that Finn? Finn! What are you doing here?
  • 灿烂的阳光,漂亮的泳池……啊,这就是生活!哦,那不是芬恩吗?芬恩,你在这里做什么?
  • Hello Li! I'm on holiday! You, too?
  • 你好,莉!我在度假!你也是吗?
  • Yes! I am.
  • 对!我也是。
  • Don't you love the Caribbean? And it's a great hotel, isn't it? Come on, sit by the pool with me here... have some champagne...
  • 你喜欢加勒比海吗?这个酒店很棒,对吧?过来,和我一起坐在泳池边……喝点香槟吧……
  • Oh, champagne?!
  • 哦,香槟?!
  • Yes. What better than enjoying a little bubbly - a little champagne - here under the tropical sun?
  • 对啊。还有什么比在热带阳光的照射下喝杯香槟更美好的呢?
  • But Finn... last week you told me you had no money - you said you were skint. This is a pretty expensive holiday!
  • 可是,芬恩……上周你跟我说你没有钱,你说你身无分文。这个假期可会花费很多钱啊!
  • Yeah. That's true. But you know what? Our boss called me into his room and said I was up for a promotion!
  • 是啊,没错。可是你知道吗?我们老板把我叫进他的办公室跟我说我可能会晋升!
  • So I thought - you only live once and you've got to splash out! Actually, I do fancy a swim. Here we go!
  • 所以我想,人只能活一次,就是要挥霍一下!实际上,我想去游泳。我们走吧!
  • Well, that big splash was Finn diving into the pool. Looks like he's enjoying his holiday!
  • 嗯,芬恩跳进泳池激起了很大的浪花。看起来他很享受他的假期!
  • He also said it's good to 'splash out' now and again.
  • 他还说偶尔挥霍一下也不错。
  • Hi, Li. It's lovely here in the water!
  • 嗨,莉。水里非常舒服!
  • Good, good! But his phrase 'to splash out' has nothing to do with diving.
  • 好,好的!可是to splash out这个短语和跳水没有关系。
  • It means to spend a lot of money on pleasant things you don't really need - and it's our phrase in The English We Speak today.
  • 意思是在你不需要的美好事物上花费大笔钱,这就是今天地道英语节目要学的短语。
  • Let's hear some examples:
  • 我们来听一些例句:
  • I was feeling sad last week, so I splashed out on a new computer and... I felt great!
  • 我上周非常伤心,所以我花一大笔钱买了台新电脑,然后……我感觉好极了!
  • I had to queue for ages to get my shopping yesterday. The shops were full of people splashing out after pay day.
  • 昨天我不得不排很长时间的队购物。商店里全是在发薪日后去挥霍的人。
  • Here he comes. I hope he enjoyed his swim as I have some bad news for him.
  • 他来了。我希望他享受他的游泳时光,因为我有坏消息要告诉他。
  • Ah, what a swim! It's great being here on holiday, isn't it Li?
  • 啊,游泳真是太棒了!来这里度假真棒,对吧,莉?
  • Finn...
  • 芬恩……
  • Yes?
  • 什么事?
  • You know you said our boss offered you a promotion...?
  • 你知道你刚说我们老板要升你的职……
  • Yes?
  • 怎么了?
  • Well, did he actually offer it to you?
  • 嗯,他真的有升你职吗?
  • Not exactly. He said I'm a very good worker, and... well, he didn't actually offer me anything. But I thought... well, he would...
  • 其实没有。他说我是名非常棒的员工,还有……实际上他什么都没有给我。不过我想……嗯,他会……
  • You see Finn, the promotion... he offered it to me!
  • 芬恩,你看,他升了我的职!
  • Oh... Li... well... congratulations and... Well, I'd better pack and leave tomorrow... It's an expensive hotel...
  • 哦……莉……嗯……祝贺你还有……我最好明天就打包行李离开……这家酒店太贵了……
  • Well, you're probably right. But our boss might consider you for a bonus later in the year.
  • 也许你是对的。不过我们的老板可能会考虑在今年晚些时候发你奖金。
  • That would be good. Yes.
  • 那样就太好了。
  • Sorry Finn. But let's not let the Caribbean sun go to waste. How about another splash - just a swim, I mean?
  • 抱歉,芬恩。但是我们不要浪费加勒比海的美好阳光。我们再挥霍一下怎么样?我的意思是游泳。
  • OK.
  • 好啊。
  • I can race you to the other end. Come on!
  • 我可以和你比赛谁最快游到对面。快来!
  • OK! Alright! Here we go! Bye.
  • 好的!没问题!开始吧!再见。
  • Bye.
  • 再见。
