BBC地道英語口語

　　Helen: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Helen.

　　Oliver: 嗨，我是Oliver。

　　Helen: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Oliver: 地道英語和大家一起學習現(xiàn)代英式英語中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和實用表達。那Helen,今天給我們帶來的新詞是什么呢?

　　Helen: Today we are going to concentrate on one word.

　　Oliver: 就一個詞兒, excellent。

　　Helen: It has several uses though. The word is handy, h-a-n-d-y, handy.

　　Oliver: 這個詞兒和手有關(guān)， hand. Handy 在手這個字的'后邊多了一個字母Y。

　　Helen: Often people talk about someone who is handy with something. That means this person is good at doing something, for example fixing cars.

　　Oliver: 也就是說，handy在這里是做什么事情很拿手，很在行的意思。你舉的例子是有人修車很在行，就可以用handy。

　　Helen: Yes, my friend Keith likes cars very much and he’s good at fix problems in them, so he’s very handy with cars.

　　Oliver: 讓我們聽一個例子。

　　Insert

　　A: There’s something wrong with my computer, it keeps shutting down after 10 minutes.

　　B: Why don’t you give Jason a call? He’s really handy with computers.

　　A: Thanks, I’ll give him a ring now.

　　Oliver: Helen, 你說過 handy這個詞兒還有其它的意思。

　　Helen: Yes, handy could also mean convenient.

　　Oliver: 有方便的意思。

　　Helen: For example, I always find it handy to have a pen with me.

　　Insert

　　A: It’s too dark to see the keyhole.

　　B: Hang on, I’ve got a little torch on my key ring.

　　A: Oh, that’s handy.

　　Oliver: 好啦，我們今天學到的詞兒是handy，這個詞兒有兩個基本意思，一個意思是某人做什么事情很拿手，很在行，另外一個意思是方便。

　　Helen: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us next time.

　　Oliver: 我們下次節(jié)目再會。
