你會(huì)騎自行車嗎?騎自行車這項(xiàng)本領(lǐng),一旦學(xué)會(huì),就再也忘不了。在本集節(jié)目中,Neil 用地道表達(dá) “l(fā)ike riding a bike” 做比喻,描述自己的攀巖本領(lǐng)。攀巖和騎自行車之間有什么關(guān)系?聽對(duì)話,學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)新的實(shí)用表達(dá)。
(關(guān)于臺(tái)詞的備注: 請(qǐng)注意這不是廣播節(jié)目的逐字稿件。本文稿可能沒有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過程中對(duì)節(jié)目做出的改變。)
Feifei
大家好,歡迎來到 BBC 英語教學(xué)的《地道英語》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Neil
And I’m Neil. Hello, everybody.
Feifei
哎,我聽同事們說你周末過得不錯(cuò)啊。
Neil
That I did! I went away this weekend to do some rock climbing!
Feifei
How exciting! I didn’t think that would be your kind of thing!
Neil
What are you saying, Feifei? That I’m not in good shape? Well, OK, fair point. It has been a long time since I’ve been rock climbing, but I used to go all the time. I may not have the stamina any more, but I still have the technique. It was like riding a bike.
Feifei
What? You rode a bike while climbing? Or did you carry the bike up with you? What are you talking about, Neil?!
Neil
No, I was struggling to pull myself up the rocks, never mind a bike! What I meant is that it’s a skill I will always have and always remember.
Feifei
原來,“It’s like riding a bike.” 這個(gè)說法實(shí)際所表達(dá)的意思是 “學(xué)過的東西就忘不了”。好比學(xué)騎自行車,只要學(xué)會(huì)了,不管多久不騎,都不會(huì)忘記怎么騎。咱們來聽?zhēng)讉€(gè)使用了 “It’s like riding a bike.” 的例句。
Examples
Though it’s been a while since I made a video, I managed to do it easily – it was like riding a bike.
I used to do a lot of baking with my mother as a child, and recently I’ve got back into it. It’s like riding a bike really.
I know it’s been a long time since you’ve done any knitting, but honestly, it’s like riding a bike.
Feifei
這里是 BBC 英語教學(xué)的《地道英語》節(jié)目。本集節(jié)目中教給大家的表達(dá)是 “It’s like riding a bike.”。它用 “像騎自行車一樣” 作比喻,說明一項(xiàng)技能只要學(xué)會(huì)了,就永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記。So Neil said that rock climbing, an activity he used to do all the time, was like riding a bike.
Neil
That’s right, Feifei – it was difficult because it was tiring, but I remembered with ease how to tie the ropes and all the best techniques. The idea is that once you’ve learnt to do something, like riding a bike, you will never forget that skill.
Feifei
Well, it seems that setting up the studio is not like riding a bike for you, Neil. The volume in my headphones is way too loud!
Neil
Oh dear, I think I’d best get away from here as fast as I can before Feifei gets really mad! Where's my bike…? Thanks for joining us, everyone!
Feifei
Goodbye!
