地道英語:我不是三歲小孩兒
I wasnt born yesterday
Feifei: 大家好,歡迎收聽《地道英語》。我是馮菲菲。每次都一樣,我坐在錄音間等 Neil, 他從來就沒準(zhǔn)時(shí)過。今天我得故意惹惹他,以解我心頭之憤!對了,他還忘了昨天是我的生日呢。
Neil: Hi there, sorry, Im late. Welcome to Authentic Real English, Im Neil and with me today is Feifei.
Feifei: Ive done all of that.
Neil: How are you, Feifei?
Feifei: Not... good...
Neil: Oh dear. Whats the matter?
Feifei: I cant believe you forgot.
Neil: Forgot? Oh no, what have I forgotten?
Feifei: What havent you forgotten? Well, for a start, you were supposed to meet me an hour ago.
Neil: Really? I thought I was only five minutes late.
Feifei: An hour and five minutes late. Secondly, you were supposed to be dressed smartly as we are meeting that very famous guest later. 我說他今天不光是晚了一小時(shí)零五分鐘,而且還穿的這么破爛,一會(huì)兒怎么去見那位重要的貴賓呢?
Neil: Famous guest?
Feifei: Yes, our very famous guest.
Neil: Whos that, then?
Feifei: How could you forget that Justin Bieber is coming in?!
Neil: What?! My hero, Justin Bieber?! Where?! When?! Hang on a minute, Justin Bieber isnt coming in. I wasnt born yesterday, Feifei.
Feifei: You werent born yesterday but I was - well, twenty-something years ago. It was my birthday! And you forgot! 在英語里,如果你想告訴某人你不相信他們說的很明顯的謊話,那你就可以說 I wasnt born yesterday, 字面直譯就是 我又不是昨天才出生的. 請聽下面例句。
A: Did you know that I was the third man on the moon?
B: I wasnt born yesterday. Youre British and I know that no British people have walked on the moon.
A: (Radio advert) Learn Russian in 3 days with just one minutes study an hour!
B: Those adverts are so stupid! The only way to learn a language is years of hard study and practice. I wasnt born yesterday.
Feifei: So, you can say I wasnt born yesterday to show that you are not easily fooled.
Neil: And I wasnt born yesterday, so I know that Feifeis claim it was her birthday yesterday isnt true.
Feifei: No, that bit is true.
Neil: Yeah, right. As I say: I wasnt born yesterday.
Feifei: I was! I really was born yesterday. I had a party and everything. Wheres my card and present?
Neil: Youre not going to fool me.
Feifei: Argh, youre so annoying! I never forget your birthday, Neil.
Neil: I know it wasnt your birthday.
Feifei: Yes it was.
Neil: No it wasnt. I wasnt born yesterday.
