The english we speak(BBC教學)第122期:Get lost 走開
Rob: Hello and welcome to the English We Speak. I'm Rob.
羅布：大家好，歡迎收看地道英語節目。我是羅布。Helen: And hello, I'm Helen. And today we've decided to come outside for a walk in the beautiful English countryside.
海倫：大家好，我是海倫。今天我們決定外出，在英國美麗的鄉村散步。Rob: Mmmm, smell the wonderful fresh air. Isn't it great to be outdoors?
羅布：嗯，呼吸一下這清新的空氣。在戶外做節目是不是很棒？
Helen: Oh, well it was…but not now it's raining. Come on Rob, I think we should head back.
海倫：剛纔是，可是現在正在下雨。羅布，快點，我想我們得回去了。Rob: Hold on Helen. Not that way! According to the map, it's this way…
羅布：海倫，等等。不是那條路！地圖上是這條路……Helen: Rob, you're always wrong. Just follow me but hurry up; we're getting wet.
海倫：羅布，你總是錯的。你只要跟着我就行了，快點。我們要淋溼了。Rob: Oh, get lost!
羅布：哦，走開！Helen: Get lost? We are lost!
海倫：迷路了？我們迷路了！Rob: No Helen–get lost–I mean go away, leave me alone. Don't tell me the way to go.
羅布：不是，海倫，get lost的意思是走開，讓我自己待着。別跟我說要走哪條路。Helen: That's not a very nice thing to say.
海倫：這種話不太禮貌。Rob: Well, it's what you can say to someone if they're really annoying you. So go away, get lost!
羅布：嗯，如果某人讓你很煩，你就會他們這麼說。所以，走開，靠邊站！Helen: OK, if you say so. I'm off. See you back at the car!
海倫：好，既然你這麼說了。我就離開了。我在車上等你！Rob: I'll get there first! OK, here are some other examples of using 'get lost':
羅布：我會先到車上的！這裏還有一些這個說法的例子。I'm tired of hearing about how you know everything. Just get lost!
我對你一直說你什麼都知道感到厭煩。走開！Get lost! I'm having a break so don't disturb me.
走開！我正在休息，別打擾我。You say you climbed Mount Everest on your own?! Get lost, I don't believe you.
你說你獨自攀登了珠穆朗瑪峯？走開，我纔不相信你。Rob: Mmm, saying get lost is quite impolite so you need to be careful how you say it and who you say it to. Maybe I was a bit rude to Helen. Helen, Helen, come back…I didn't mean to be so rude.
羅布：嗯，滾開這個詞很不禮貌，所以你要對你使用的方式和對誰說這句話備加小心。也許我剛剛對海倫有點兒無禮。海倫，回來……我不是有意要這麼無禮的。Helen: …well you weren't being very nice. Anyway, I was going to come back and find you.
海倫：嗯，可是你並不友好。不管怎麼說，我會回去找你的。Rob: And why was that Helen?
羅布：海倫，爲什麼呢？Helen: Because I got lost. I needed the map!
海倫：因爲我迷路了。我需要地圖！Rob: Ha. Well, here it is. Come on follow me.
羅布：哈哈。好吧，給你地圖。來跟着我走吧。Helen: OK Rob. See you next time.
海倫：好的，羅布。下次節目再見。Both: Bye.
一起：再見。Rob: Right, it's definitely this way.
羅布：好，絕對是走這條路。Helen: Are you sure?
海倫：你確定嗎？Rob: Yes, that's what the map says.
羅布：確定，地圖上是這麼說的。Helen: Rob you've got the map upside down!
海倫：羅布，你把地圖拿反了！Rob: Oh!
