The script of this programme 本節目台詞

William: Hello and welcome to another exciting edition of Authentic Real English. My name is William Kremer.

Feifei 大家好，我是馮菲菲。Uh! William! 你的手怎麼都流血了！

William: Oh, it’s a long story.

Feifei No, go on.

William: Well… I invited some friends over to my house last night while my wife was seeing her mother. And, I don’t know how it happened but… somehow or other… some red wine got spilled on my carpet.

A monster

"Give us a kiss!" Would you freak out?

Feifei 有紅酒灑在你的地毯上了…

William: Yes, and of course it’s a white carpet.

Feifei Oh no…

William: And then when my wife came home she saw the stain and totally freaked out. So I had to spend the whole night scrubbing the carpet; that’s why I’ve got bleeding hands.

Feifei 你太太讓你用了一整夜時間把地毯上的紅酒印刷乾淨，所以你的手都磨出血了！不過 William，你剛才用的那個字是什麼來著？Your wife saw the stain and…?

William: My wife saw the stain and freaked out. To freak out, it means to react to something in an extreme way.

Feifei To freak out 就是說對某事做出了非常極端的反應。那William，這個說法一般是來形容人被惹得特別生氣的這種情況嗎？

William: Well, we do use it a lot when people get really angry, like my wife over the wine. But people also freak out when they are scared by something or confused or upset.

Feifei 那麼我們也可以用它來形容由於某事的發生而產生的突然的恐懼、迷茫、或者悲痛的情緒和反應。

William: Let’s listen to an example.

Example

A: Darren! I thought you were dead!

B: It’s Ok Lucy. I’m not a ghost, so don’t freak out.

Feifei 在這個例句中，那位女士以為對方這個男士是個鬼，所以她 freaked out.

William: That’s right. Or we can say, he freaked her out, he freaked her out. When you think something is strange or frightening it freaks you out.

Feifei 而剛才你流血的雙手確實也是 freaked me out。

William: Well let’s listen to another example.

Example

C: Did you know that I can touch my nose with my tongue?

D: Really?

C: Yeah, watch…

D: Oh stop it! Stop it! You’re freaking me out!


Feifei Stop freaking me out… William，我有種預感，和你在一起，我會經常用到這個詞組的。

William: Oh thanks Feifei… that’s very kind of you. That’s all for this week. If you want more Authentic Real English, remember to check out www.bbcukchina.com.
