工作、工作、工作！我們已經(jīng)把大量的時(shí)間用在工作上，那么我們真的還想在不辦公的時(shí)候談?wù)摴ぷ骰蚺c工作相關(guān)的事情嗎？對(duì)有些人來(lái)說(shuō)，他們就是忍不住不談工作，“三句話不離本行”。本期節(jié)目教你一個(gè)地道的英語(yǔ)短語(yǔ)來(lái)描述他們的這個(gè)行為。

歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Neil
There you go, Feifei. One skinny cappuccino for you.
Feifei
Thanks, Neil. It’s good to get away from the office, and I like this cafe. It’s very stylish, for you!
Neil
I’ll take that as a compliment. Now, shall we get down to business?
Feifei
‘Get down to business’? 我們一定要談?wù)摴ぷ鲉?？我覺(jué)得咱們應(yīng)該拋開(kāi)工作，放松放松，聊聊天。比如，你今年的假期計(jì)劃是什么？Where are you going this year?
Neil
Sorry, Feifei, we need to talk shop for a moment.
Feifei
Shopping? 購(gòu)物可是我的長(zhǎng)項(xiàng)。I’d love to talk about shopping.
Neil
No. Talk shop.
Feifei
Which shop?
Neil
Our shop! I mean our work. To talk shop means to talk about work, even when you’re not at work!
Feifei
Oh, right! And do we talk shop to just anyone?
Neil
No, Feifei, just to the people we work with. I don’t think anybody else would be interested. Let’s hear from some more people who are ‘talking shop’.
Examples
We went to the pub to celebrate Rob’s birthday but inevitably we started talking shop!
I bumped into my boss on the train home tonight and he talked shop all the way to my stop!
We’ve been at work all day. Let’s all have some fun and not talk shop. Please!
Feifei
你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)”。在這期節(jié)目中，我們一起學(xué)習(xí) “talk shop” 這個(gè)短語(yǔ)的用法?！癟alk shop” 的意思是 “與同事在工作時(shí)間外談?wù)摴ぷ鳌保秃帽葷h語(yǔ)里說(shuō)的 “三句話不離本行”。So come on, then, Neil. Let’s talk about work, if we have to.
Neil
Thanks. I brought you to the cafe so we could talk about all the scripts I’ve got to write.
Feifei
原來(lái)你給我買咖啡是有目的的！You want me to write some scripts!
Neil
Of course not. I just need some ideas for some authentic English phrases to write about. That’s why I needed to …
Feifei
…talk shop.
Neil
Exactly.
Feifei
No! ‘Talk shop’. That’s an English phrase you can write about.
Neil
Brilliant, Feifei. Wow, these scripts just write themselves! Fancy another coffee?
Feifei
Only if we stop talking shop!
Neil
Bye.
Feifei
Bye!
