2012年商务英语考试中级口语对话练习(11) The script of this programme 本节目台词 William: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English, I’m William. Feifei: 我是冯菲菲。William, what are you doing with that suitcase and flowers and boxes of chocolates? William 手里拿着一把鲜花和一盒巧克力，一定是给某人的礼物了… William: Oh, well I’m spending the weekend with my wife’s parents so I thought I’d get something for my mother-in-law. Feifei: Oh I see! William 这个周末要去看望岳父岳母，所以准备了很多礼物。 William: And I’m going to do a bit of decorating and gardening for them too. Feifei: Wow, you really are trying to earn some brownie points, aren’t you? 我看出来了 William 其实在努力表现，以便获得老人的好评与认可。 William: Yes, I’m trying to earn some brownie points. Feifei: To earn some brownie points. Brownie points 这个词的来历和一个叫 ’The Brownies’ 的女童子团有关系。它的成员做了好事可以得分，类似中国小学生们得到红星或者红旗一样，对做好事的人有一种表扬。这个短语的意思呢就是为获得表扬而做好事。 William: Yes, you see I’m not sure if my mother-in-law really… likes me very much. So that’s why I’m trying to earn some brownie points. Maybe she’ll change her attitude towards me. Feifei: Oh dear. William 的岳母好像不再喜欢他，所以他就拼命地表现，买礼物，以便获得丈母娘的欢心。下面请听例句。 小编推荐： 2012年商务英语中级口语必备知识汇总 2012年商务英语考试(高级)听力常考句汇总 2012年商务英语BEC中级考试冲刺试题及答案汇总 相关资料 |
