The english we speak(BBC教學)第154期:Wee 很少的
Finn: Welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Finn.
芬恩：歡迎收聽地道英語節目，我是芬恩。Wang Fei: And I'm Wang Fei. So, what English word do we have today?
王飛：我是王飛。我們今天學習什麼英語單詞？Finn: Well, Wang Fei, today's English word is actually a Scottish one!
芬恩：嗯，王飛，實際上今天要學的英語單詞是英格蘭短語！
Wang Fei: A Scottish phrase on The English We Speak?
王飛：在地道英語節目講蘇格蘭短語？Finn: That’s right.
芬恩：沒錯。Wang Fei: Finn, I know you're from Scotland, but this is The English We Speak, not the Scottish!
王飛：芬恩，我知道你來自蘇格蘭，不過這是地道英語節目，不是蘇格蘭語節目！Finn: Not the Scottish I know, but actually, Wang Fei, this is a word that is very widely used.
芬恩：我知道這不是蘇格蘭語節目，不過實際上，王飛，這個詞應用得非常廣泛。Wang Fei: Ok, what's the word, then?
王飛：好，那是什麼詞呢？Finn: Today's word is wee.
芬恩：今天要學的就是很小的這個詞。Wang Fei: Wii–oh, I know! Isn't that a kind of Japanese game console? Surely that's The Japanese We Speak?!
王飛：任天堂，我知道！這是一種日本遊戲機，對吧？我們這是地道日語節目嗎？！Finn: No, not that Wii! That Wii is spelt W-I-I, and the word I mean is spelt W-E-E. And it means… small or little.
芬恩：不，不是任天堂遊戲機！任天堂的拼法是W-I-I，而我們要學的單詞是W-E-E。意思是小的、少的。Wang Fei: Ok–so that's very nice and easy to remember!
王飛：好，這很好記！Finn: It is. Quite often, you'll hear it together with the word 'bit'. A wee bit. Listen to these examples.
芬恩：沒錯。你會經常聽到這個詞和bit一起連用，表示一點兒的意思。下面來聽這些例子。Examples
例子I might be a wee bit late, please just wait for me.
我可能會晚點兒到，請稍等我一下。You're looking a wee bit tired, are you ok?
你看上去有些累，你還好嗎？I'm a wee bit hungry, fancy getting a sandwich?
我有點兒餓了，想吃三明治嗎？Wang Fei: So a wee bit is just like a little bit. How else can we use this word, Finn?
王飛：a wee bit和a little bit意思差不多，表示一點兒。芬恩，這個詞還能怎麼用？Finn: Well a wee bit is probably what you'll hear most often. What do you think it means in this sentence?
芬恩：a wee bit一點兒是最常聽到的用法。你覺得這個詞在下面這個句子裏是什麼意思？Example
例子When I was wee, I used to love climbing trees!
我小時候很喜歡爬樹！Wang Fei: When I was wee… is that when I was young?
王飛：When I was wee是指我小的時候嗎？Finn: That's right–when I was young, when I was wee-though you'll more likely hear Scottish people say this! And there is another phrase using wee which I'm going to tell you in a moment, but first–tell me, what is the most famous Scottish drink, Wang Fei?
芬恩：沒錯，就是指小時候，不過你會可能更常聽到蘇格蘭人這麼說！一會兒我還會告訴你另一個有關wee這個詞的短語，不過首先，王飛，告訴我蘇格蘭最著名的酒是什麼？Wang Fei: That’s easy-whisky!
王飛：這太簡單了，是威士忌！Finn: Whisky–yes it is! Do you like whisky?
芬恩：威士忌，沒錯！你喜歡喝威士忌嗎？Wang Fei: Oh, yes, but it’s a bit strong, isn’t it! Maybe I would just have a small glass.
王飛：喜歡，不過威士忌有點烈，不是嗎？我可能只能喝一小杯。Finn: Well, we have a word for a glass of whisky, which is a dram.
芬恩：我們有一個有關一小杯威士忌酒的詞，就是a dram，表示一小杯。Wang Fei: A dram.
王飛：A dram。Finn: That’s right, D-R-A-M, a dram.
芬恩：沒錯，拼寫是D-R-A-M，一小杯。Wang Fei: Mm, a dram.
王飛：嗯，一小杯。Finn: So if you want a small dram, what do you say?
芬恩：如果你想喝一小杯威士忌，你要怎麼說？Wang Fei: Can I have a wee dram?
王飛：我能喝一小杯威士忌嗎？Finn: Can I have a wee dram–that’s it! Really? Would you like a wee dram, Wang Fei?
芬恩：我能喝一小杯威士忌嗎，完全正確！王飛，你真的想喝一小杯威士忌嗎？Wang Fei: OK, great, yeah!
王飛：好啊，太好了，當然！Finn: We're in the studio!
芬恩：可是我們在演播室啊！Wang Fei: Yes, maybe later!
王飛：是啊，那一會兒喝吧！Finn: Maybe later!
芬恩：嗯，一會兒再喝！Wang Fei: Well, that's the word for today, wee, W-E-E.
王飛：好，這就是今天要學的單詞，很少的，拼寫是W-E-E。Finn: If you have time, why not have a wee look at our website!
芬恩：如果大家有時間，爲什麼不上我們的網站看一下呢！Wang Fei: Mm–and it's !
