Feifei
大家好!欢迎收听《地道英语》。我是冯菲菲,今天和我搭档的是 Neil。

Neil
Hello! The expression we are going to look at in this programme – which we hear a lot in colloquial speech – is 'full-on'. So, Feifei, did you have a good weekend?

Feifei
It was quiet. 我一整周末都宅在家里。I stayed home most of the time, watched a couple of old, black and white films with my grandmother on Sunday. That was the highlight really. How about you?

Neil
Well... that sounds quite quiet and relaxed. Well, my weekend was a bit different to yours. I went to the launch party of a new bar on Friday – that was quite a night! And then on Saturday my friends took me to a night club that went on until the morning!

Feifei
Wow! That sounds exciting. Clubbing? 你这年龄了?Aren't you a bit old for that sort of thing?

Neil
No, I'm not too old, but to be honest – it was a bit full-on.

Feifei
Full-on? What do you mean? 

Neil
Well, the loud music, the dancing, the drinking, the energy. It was very intense. I'm not old, but I'm not as young as I was.

Feifei
哦,这里 full-on 的意思是活动安排的很紧凑,连喘口气的时间都没有。

Neil
Yes. I think I need a few days to recover; it was so full-on.

Feifei
What else can be full-on?

Neil
Some people are a bit full-on. A bit extreme. Not very relaxing to be with.

Feifei
有时候人也可以是 full-on,意思就是说这个人做事儿有点儿过了,让周围的人精神紧张,感到有些负担,a bit extreme,not relaxing。Full-on 这个表达非常口语化,在日常生活中使用频率很高。I know what you mean. Sarah's a bit full-on isn't she?

Neil
Yes, she scares me. She stands so close when she talks to me and stares right into my eyes. Work can also be full-on when it's really busy.

Feifei
另外,工作忙起来的时候,我们也可以用 full-on 这个词。

Neil
Let's listen to some more examples.

Examples
Man Have a good holiday?

Woman To be honest, not really. We were up at 6am every day to get as much sightseeing done as possible and didn't get to bed till midnight. It was so full - on. I feel like I need another holiday.

I really don't like children's parties. All those excited, screaming kids. It's too full - on.

London's too full - on. I need to move to the countryside.

Feifei
Well, if you want a more relaxing weekend next time, come and watch some films with me and my grandmother. It's really laid back.

Neil
That sounds a lot less full-on. I'll do that. Join us again soon for some more Authentic Real English.

Feifei
Bye!
