英語中可以形容事物 “好,不錯” 的說法有很多,不過表達 “awesomesauce” 擊敗了以往的說法,成為用來稱贊人或事物的流行語。聽主持人菲菲和 Rob 的對話,學習如何使用 “awesomesauce (贊醬)”。

Feifei
大家好!歡迎收聽 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Rob
And I’m Rob.
Feifei
謝謝你的冰淇淋,我特別喜歡吃冰淇淋!Why are we eating it now?
Rob
As a treat, Feifei! This is my homemade ice cream.
Feifei
你真行!你自己做的冰淇淋味道還真不錯!
Rob
Tastes good, you say? Just ‘good’?
Feifei
味道是還不錯!
Rob
Not bad? Oh! Honestly, Feifei, there is no pleasing you sometimes. Is there something missing?
Feifei
Rob – it’s awesomesauce!
Rob
So, you want sauce on it? Why didn’t you say? What do you want – strawberry, chocolate, caramel?
Feifei
No, I was actually being nice. 表達 “awesomesauce” 是一個非正式用語,它可以形容 “某人或某事物特別棒,好得讓人連連稱贊”。我這是在給你點 “贊醬”,贊美你呢!Listen to these other examples of ‘awesomesauce’.
Examples
My wife is awesomesauce! She’s just served me breakfast in bed as it’s my birthday!
This peanut butter and banana milkshake is awesomesauce. Can I have some more, please?
Hey! I got top grades in all my exams. Awesomesauce!
Feifei
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。流行語 “awesomesauce(贊醬)” 現(xiàn)在被人們用來形容 “某人或某事物是超贊的、極好的”。Your homemade ice cream is amazing, Rob!
Rob
Oh, thanks very much! I don’t know what to say.
Feifei
You can also say ‘awesomesauce’. “Awesomesauce” 也可以被用來表達 “對某事感到非常滿意”。
Rob
OK, then – awesomesauce! If it’s that good, I must try some too – with strawberry sauce.
Feifei
You must, Rob. It tastes great.
Rob
Oh, no! Not awesomesauce.
Feifei
What’s wrong?
Rob
Oh... I didn’t put the ice cream back in the freezer – it’s melted!
Feifei
You had better go and make some more. Bye.
Rob
Bye-bye!
