主持人 Roy 打電子游戲時(shí)輸給了佳瑩，佳瑩在評(píng)價(jià) Roy 的游戲水平時(shí)用了一個(gè)非正式的英語(yǔ)單詞，說(shuō)他是 “noob（菜鳥） ”。聽(tīng)兩人的對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)用名詞 “noob” 來(lái)指 “對(duì)某件事情不熟悉或缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人”。

大家好！歡迎收聽(tīng)由 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)制作的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。 我是佳瑩。
Roy
… and me, Roy. I can’t believe you beat me at that video game!
Jiaying
可不是嗎，剛剛你在玩游戲的時(shí)候犯了很多小錯(cuò)誤。所以，我贏了是很正常的！I’m a pro and you’re a noob!
Roy
A what? Anubis? Did you just call me an Egyptian god?
Jiaying
Not Anubis, Roy – I called you a noob. 名詞 “noob – n o o b” 的意思是 “菜鳥，新手”，指 “對(duì)某件事情不熟悉且缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人”。
Roy
But I’m not a noob – I’ve been playing it for years. It’s my favourite game!
Jiaying
Oh… then you’re just really bad at it! 你還得再練幾次才能提高水平??！
Roy
Maybe we could play again? I have no idea how you found the dragon so early. You didn’t watch a gamer’s tips and tricks video, did you?
Jiaying
Well, maybe just one video – it’s good to research what you’re going to play. Let’s have another game while we listen to these examples.
Examples
He ended up sending out the wrong information to the clients. He’s such a noob!
I can’t believe I called her the wrong name! I’m such a noob.
Four years ago, I made a film. It was terrible – I was such a noob! So, I studied how to make films at university.
Jiaying
你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。以上，我們給大家介紹了名詞 “noob” 的含義和用法，它指的是 “剛開(kāi)始接觸某件事情或在某一方面缺乏經(jīng)驗(yàn)的菜鳥、新手”。你也可以用名詞 “newbie – n e w b i e” 來(lái)表達(dá)同樣的意思。I can’t believe you beat me at that game second time round!
Roy
Well, like I said – I wasn’t a newbie. I’ve been playing it for years. I went easy on you first time because I thought you were a noob!
Jiaying
好吧！對(duì)了，在談?wù)摵碗娮佑螒蛴嘘P(guān)的話題時(shí)，名詞 “noob” 很常用，那我們?cè)诹钠渌掝}的時(shí)候是不是也可以使用這個(gè)詞呢？
Roy
Yes, for example, your first day at work. Huh…Do you remember when I started?
Jiaying
Yes, you were such a noob! 那個(gè)時(shí)候，你才剛來(lái)不久，還是個(gè)新人。You forgot everyone’s names and got lost in the building!
Roy
Yeah… I was a bit of a disaster.
Jiaying
That’s OK – you didn’t know what you were doing.
Roy
So, do you want to play another game?
Jiaying
No, thanks. I prefer playing against newbies so I can win. Bye, Roy!
Roy
Bye.
