BBC
英语教学为你制作的《地道英语》节目。大家好，我是冯菲菲。
Rob... Rob? Where's Rob?
Rob:
(Door opens) Oh hi Feifei... you couldn't lend me
?10 could you?
Feifei: Rob!
你来晚了，不赶快开始录节目，反而问我借钱，你这都哪跟哪儿呀？
You're
supposed to be presenting this programme. Anyway,
what do you want ?10
for? And what's
that... stuff all over your clothes?
Rob: Well, I was running to get to the
studio and I bumped into a woman.
Feifei: Right... So, what do you need
?10 for? Your laundry bill?
Rob: No,
she dropped a big box she was carrying and said I
would have to pay for
the damage - and
if I didn't, her daughter would be really upset!
Feifei: Oh! Rob
不小心撞到了一位女士，惹了点小麻烦。
He is in a
sticky situation.
Rob
遇到了一个棘手的情况。
Rob:
Well, that's true. You mean I'm in a situation
that is difficult to get out of?
Feifei: Exactly.
给你
10
镑前，你快去解决你的问题把。
Now you
can go and un-stick
the situation!
Rob: Thanks Feifei. I think we should
hear some examples of this phrase while I go
and pay the woman...
