偷懒开小差BBC地道英语口语
John: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m John.
Jean: 大家好，我是董征。欢迎收听我们的地道英语节目。
John: In Real English today we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Jean: 和汉语一样，英语里也是有着非常多的成语和俗话的，所以要想能听得懂英国人日常的说话聊天，就一定要来学学这些他们常用的.通俗词语。
John: Today’s word is skive, to skive.
Jean: Skive, 这个词是什么意思呢?
John: Well you can use skive to talk about children who aren’t at school when they should be.
Insert 1
My brother was really naughty at school, he was always skiving off lessons to go and play football instead.
Jean: 噢，这个词挺有用的。Skive就是偷懒逃学、逃课的意思吧?
John: Yes, and we heard there that the phrase is often used with the word ‘off’ - ‘to skive off’.
Jean: To skive off, 去逃学了。不过skive是只在形容学生逃课的时候才用的吗?
John: No, you can use it to talk about work as well.
Insert 2
I haven’t got much work to do today. D’you fancy skiving and going for a long lunch?
Jean: OK, 原来skive还可以用来形容偷懒工作开小差的意思啊?
John: That’s right, you can skive off from work, skive off from school. But you can also use it to mean being in the right place – at school or at work - but not actually doing any work!
Insert 3
He’s been skiving all day – just checking his email and playing on the internet – he hasn’t done any work at all!
Jean: Skiving也可以用来形容那些上着班却不干正事的行为!对了 John，那这些偷懒逃学不干正事的人，我们有没有个词来形容他们呢?
John: Yes, you can call them skivers.
Jean: Skivers偷懒逃学不务正事者，对，这个词好!
John: But it’s not really that naughty, most people skive off sometimes.
Jean: 是吗?难道你也这样吗John?
John: Yes, I suppose I sometimes skive when I should be working but not very often!
Jean: 那好吧，看你偷懒程度不算严重，我们先暂时不叫你skiver好啦。
John: I hope not.
Jean: 不过，今天我们的节目时间就又到了。
John: Join us next time for more Real English from BBC Learning English
Jean: Goodbye!
John: Bye-bye!
