主持人 Rob 腦子一片空白,忘記了他答應(yīng)菲菲的事情。菲菲用 “jog your memory” 來(lái)提醒 Rob 他們之間的約定。聽(tīng)節(jié)目,學(xué)習(xí)如何在日常交流中使用表達(dá) “jog your memory”。
(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(méi)有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過(guò)程中對(duì)節(jié)目做出的改變。)
Feifei
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. 大家好,我是菲菲。
Rob
… and me, Rob.
Feifei
Rob,你是不是又忘了?
Rob
Err… forgotten what?
Feifei
Would you like me to jog your memory?
Rob
What? We're going jogging?
Feifei
No, Rob. 我剛才說(shuō) “jog your memory”。這個(gè)表達(dá)的意思是 “喚起某人的記憶,提醒某人”。I need to jog your memory, Rob. Look, I'm wearing running shoes and a tracksuit – does that help you remember?
Rob
So, you are going jogging!
Feifei
No, I'm not going jogging. I'll tell you later. But let's hear some examples first.
Examples
The photo helped jog my memory, and I finally remembered the name of the restaurant we ate at.
Let me jog your memory about what special day it is today – it's our wedding anniversary!
Something she said jogged my memory about the thing I was meant to do after work.
Feifei
在這期 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目中,我們教給大家的表達(dá)是 “jog someone's memory”。上面的例句列舉了 “jog someone's memory” 的用法,這里的 “someone” 也可以是 “我們自己”。比如:某事喚起我們對(duì)一件事情的記憶 “something helped jog my memory”。注意,這個(gè)表達(dá)多用在口語(yǔ)交流中。Rob, I was hoping by wearing this sports gear, you'd remember what we had arranged to do.
Rob
Err… go to the cafe? Go to a fancy-dress party?
Feifei
No!
Rob
Sorry, my mind is blank.
Feifei
咱們說(shuō)好錄完節(jié)目后直接去健身房鍛煉身體。I said come prepared so we don't waste any time.
Rob
Oh, did you? Well, don't worry. I'll quickly go and get changed, and you can finish the programme, as we discussed.
Feifei
As we discussed?
Rob
Ah… shall I jog your memory now? The words… on the script?
Feifei
Oh, yes! Join us again soon for another Authentic Real English. Bye.
Rob
Bye.
