Feifei
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. 大家好，我是馮菲菲。
Roy
And me, Roy. Feifei, why are you making that face?
Feifei
我的表情反映出這個(gè)飯有多不好吃！你要不要嘗嘗？
Roy
Not really if it’s disgusting – but thanks. What does it taste like?
Feifei
Horrible – like old milk mixed with fish. It’s part of a new diet, but it just tastes really gnarly.
Roy
What is gnarly – is that the name of the dish?
Feifei
不是不是，我是說 “it tastes gnarly”。“Gnarly” 可以用來形容事物是 “不好的，讓人討厭的，使人感覺不舒服的”。
Roy
Well, that makes sense – but maybe you can tell me why you’re eating something disgusting after these examples.
Examples
That coffee I bought tasted really gnarly. I’m going to complain.
He thinks he’s a good singer, but the noises he makes are just gnarly.
Getting out of bed early in the morning is gnarly. I like a lie-in.
Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。我們正在教給大家如何用單詞 “gnarly” 來形容事物 “不太好”。
Roy
So, you’re eating gnarly food to feel better?
Feifei
That’s right! I want to be healthier so I don’t feel so tired in the morning! I have to get up at 4am every day and it’s really gnarly.
Roy
Well, that sounds like a good plan but why do you get up at 4am?
Feifei
I’m practising for the next talent show. I sing opera for three hours every morning before work!
Roy
Hmm… I’m sure your neighbours don’t think that’s gnarly at all! Bye, Feifei.
Feifei
Bye, Roy.
