地道的BBC英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)
Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Jean: 在我們的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目當(dāng)中，我們會(huì)帶領(lǐng)大家一起來學(xué)習(xí)和熟悉一些近代英式英語(yǔ)里新出現(xiàn)的詞匯和新說法。.
Jo: Today’s expression is ‘wow factor’. That’s two words – wow, W.O.W. and factor, F.A.C.T.O.R. Wow factor.
Jean: Wow factor. 這個(gè)詞組怎么講？
Jo: The wow factor is something that makes you pleasantly surprised, makes you say ‘wow!’ . You could use it for anything from a car to an advert on television.
Jean: 聽上去wow factor這個(gè)說法可以用來形容任何讓人發(fā)出驚艷感嘆的東西，那你能給我們舉個(gè)例子嗎？
Jo: Of course. You might say ‘His new film wasn’t a big success. It didn’t have the wow factor.’
Jean: 那除了說電影，還可以用它形容別的.東西嗎？
Jo: Absolutely. You might use it for a good television advert. You could say ‘Toyota’s latest ad uses the wow factor to attract customers.’

A: What did you think of the film Alexander?
B: Well, I preferred Gladiator and Troy. Alexander lacked a bit of the wow factor for me.
Jo: Have you ever been to New York, Jean?
Jean: No Jo, why?
Jo: It really has the wow factor. As soon as you arrive, you have to say ‘Wow!’ .
Jean: Really?
Jo: Yes. It’s an amazing place.
Jean: 今天我們學(xué)到的這個(gè)新詞wow factor就是用來形容那些讓我們驚艷贊嘆的東西，可以是輛好車，一個(gè)美麗的地方，也可以是一種感受，等等。And that’s all we have time for today.
Jo: Yes, that’s all. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
