With It 全神貫注

The script of this programme 本節目台詞

Yang Li: Hello Diarmuid!

Diarmuid: Ah… Hi Yang Li. (Yawn)

Yang Li: Bit tired?

Diarmuid: Eh? Oh, yeah. Didn’t sleep well. Er, what programme are we doing today?

Yang Li: Authentic Real English.

Diarmuid: Great, the programme where we answer questions about British culture?

Yang Li: No… It’s the programme where we introduce the latest English words and phrases. Diarmuid, you’re not really with it today.

Diarmuid: Eh?

Yang Li: You’re not with it, are you?

This cat is not with it at all

Diarmuid: Sorry. Good phrase though, with it.

Yang Li: Yes. 今天我們要介紹一個新詞語 with 和 it 連在一起 with it. 如果你 with it 就說明你是全神貫注，換句話說，你的思路跟著對方，沒有恍神。反之就就是心不在焉，狀態不佳，比如今天我的搭檔 Diarmuid 就是一例。

Diarmuid: Eh?

Yang Li: Diarmuid – you really need to get some sleep!

Examples

A: Sorry, I’m a little tired. I’ve just flown from London to Beijing.

B: No wonder you’re not with it today.

A: I’m not really with it at the moment, I think it’s these cold drugs I’m taking.

B: No problem, just go and get some rest.

Yang Li: So, I hope everyone’s enjoyed learning the phrase with it. And of course our website has many more interesting words and expressions for you to learn. Diarmuid, shall we remind everyone about our web address?
