书呆子BBC地道英语口语
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 you might not find in your English text book.
Jean: 学习英式英语非常重要的一部分就是要学习他们日常使用的英语口语，而且这些英语的`通俗说法并不是经常能在书本上学到的。那Jo，我们今天要学的英语口语词是什么呢?
Jo: Today’s word is geek – G.E.E.K. – geek.
Jean: Geek. Geek是个什么东西呢?
Jo: A geek is a boring, unfashionable person. It’s a negative word.
Jean: OK知道了。Geek在英语口语里有点贬义词的性质，就是用来形容那种比较执着钻研学问、不太管别的事情书呆子气的人。那一般英国人怎么用这个词呢?
Jo: Well, you could say ‘her new boyfriend is a real geek’. You mean he’s boring, unfashionable, so you don’t approve or like him.
Jean: I see.
Insert
A : How’s your brother?
B: Fine, but he’s a geek. He dresses like my grandfather and just sits in front of the computer all day long.
Jo: My neighbour is a geek, Jean.
Jean: Really Jo?
Jo: Yes. His clothes are very out of fashion. He never does anything either.
Jean: So what does he do all day?
Jo: He just plays computer games all day long. I don’t think he realises what a geek he is.
Jo: Perhaps you should tell him?
Jo: Well I’m not sure about that! Anyway, let’s recap. Geek is a negative word for someone who is boring and unfashionable.
Jean: 好了让我们再回顾一下今天学到的新词吧。Geek就是指那种不爱和别人交往内向孤僻的人。Well, it looks like we don’t have any more time.
Jo: Yes, that’s it. 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.
