Jo: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning
English, I’m Jo.
Sun Chen: 嘿，你好嗎？我是孫晨。
Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that
you might not find in your dictionary.
Sun Chen:
你是不是已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)了，在英國(guó)當(dāng)中充滿了各種各樣的習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)。而且這些習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)就經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)在英國(guó)人日常的說(shuō)話當(dāng)中，所以，牢牢把握住這些個(gè)詞兒對(duì)我們說(shuō)英語(yǔ)可是至關(guān)重要。
Jo: And today we’re looking at a strange expression –
'to be the spitting image of'. 'To be the spitting image of'.
Sun Chen: 那這個(gè)詞組又是什么意思呢？
Jo: It’s a way of saying that somebody looks very
similar to someone else.
Sun Chen: 奧，原來(lái)這個(gè)詞組說(shuō)的就是誰(shuí)看起來(lái)長(zhǎng)的像誰(shuí)。
Jo: That’s right. We often use the expression 'the
spitting image of' to talk about family members who look alike.
Insert
A: Look, here’s a picture of my grandson, Jamie.
B: Wow, he’s the spitting image of Simon, isn’t he?
Sun Chen:
這位老先生就讓這位女士看她孫子的照片，然后這位女士馬上就看出了他的孫子，長(zhǎng)得像他們家族當(dāng)中的另外一個(gè)人。
Jo: "He’s the spitting image of Simon". The expression
‘the spitting image’ is usually used to describe a younger person, who looks
like the older family member.
Sun Chen: 一個(gè)孩子經(jīng)常都會(huì)被人說(shuō)成是他父母，或者是他哥哥姐姐的 spitting
image.
Jo: Sun Chen, do you look like anyone in your
family?
Sun Chen: No, I don’t look much like my mum or my dad,
but I’ve been told that I’m the spitting image of my grandfather when he was
young. 我們還是來(lái)把今天學(xué)習(xí)的新詞復(fù)習(xí)一下吧。
Jo: Today’s expression is 'to be the spitting image
of'.
Sun Chen: 意思就是說(shuō)長(zhǎng)得像家里的什么人。
Jo: Join us next time for more Real English, from BBC
Learning English.
Sun Chen: 我們下次節(jié)目再見。
Jo: Bye.
