BBC地道英语口语：A Bite to Eat

　　A Bite to Eat 随便吃点东西

　　Neil: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm Neil.

　　Helen: And I'm Helen. Hello!

　　Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Neil: Today's expression is 'a bite to eat'.

　　Helen: 听起来这个短语和吃有关，对不对Neil？

　　Neil: Yes, it certainly does have something to do with eating. To have a bite to eat means to go and have something to eat.

　　Helen: 这种说法是指吃什么东西都行还是说是要吃正经的'一顿饭呢？

　　Neil: It usually means to have a small amount of food – so a snack or a light meal – or it can just mean to go and eat some food or a meal.

　　Helen: Bite就是用嘴咬的意思，而a bite to eat一般就是专指随便的吃点什么东西或者吃顿便饭的意思。

　　Neil: Here are some examples of how we might use it.

　　Insert

　　A: I'm hungry – shall we go for a bite to eat?

　　B: Sounds good.

　　A: So are we going to see the new Harry Potter film later?

　　B: Yes. If we meet at 6 we should have time for a quick bite first.

　　Helen: 刚才他俩说的是a quick bite就是很快的吃点东西。所以a bite to eat也可以简单说成a bite – 都是咬一口什么东西吃，就是随便吃点东西的意思。

　　Neil: All this talk of food is making me hungry…

　　Helen: Shall we go for a bite to eat?

　　Neil: I would love a bite to eat. And that's about all from Real English today.

　　Helen: And today's expression is 'a bite to eat' – 随便吃点东西。感谢大家收听我们BBC Learning English的节目。 We'll see you next time.

　　Neil: Bye for now.
