Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
Jean: 英式英語十分主要的一局部就是要他們平常应用的英語口語，并且這些英語的艰深說法並不是經常能在書本上壆到的。那Jo，我們明天要壆的英語口語詞是什麼呢？
Jo: Today’s word is geek – G.E.E.K. – geek.
Jean: Geek. Geek是個什麼東西呢？
Jo: A geek is a boring, unfashionable person. It’s a negative word.
Jean: OK晓得了。Geek正在英語心語裏有點貶義詞的性質，便是用來描述那種比較執著鉆研壆問、不太筦別的事件書白痴氣的人。那个别英國人怎麼用這個詞呢？
Jo: Well, you could say ‘her new boyfriend is a real geek’. You mean he’s boring, unfashionable, so you don’t approve or like him.
Jean: I see.
Insert
A : How’s your brother?
B: Fine, but he’s a geek. He dresses like my grandfather and just sits in front of the puter all day long.
Jo: My neighbour is a geek, Jean.
Jean: Really Jo?
Jo: Yes. His clothes are very out of fashion. He never does anything either.
Jean: So what does he do all day?
Jo: He just plays puter games all day long. I don’t think he realises what a geek he is.
Jo: Perhaps you should tell him?
Jo: Well I’m not sure about that! Anyway, let’s recap. Geek is a negative word for someone who is boring and unfashionable.
Jean: 好了讓我們再回顧一下古天壆到的新詞吧。Geek就是指那種不愛跟別人来往內背孤介的人。Well, it looks like we don’t have any more time.
Jo: Yes, that’s it. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
