Feifei
大家好,欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲。

Rob
…and hello, I'm Rob. Hey Feifei, listen to this…

Feifei
…OK, interesting. 你微波炉热的饭好了吗?

Rob
Yes actually – but I wanted you to name that sound.

Feifei
让我用英语描述这个声音?这是乒乓作响 “ping” 的声音。So what's that got to do with this programme?

Rob
Well, we can use the word 'ping' to describe something else.

Feifei
I know that. 单词 ping 原指乒乓作响,或发出 “砰” 的响声。比如微波炉加热时间到了后,发出 “ping” 的响声。但现在,人们更多的用 ping 表示 “发邮件或发条信息”。So if I ping you an email, I basically send you an email.

Rob
Exactly and… Oh, someone's pinged me a text message. It says "Let's have some examples, Rob!"

Feifei
That was me, Rob. Come on then!

Examples
I need to know the details of the contract. Could you ping them over to me as soon as possible please?

My friend's just pinged me to say she can't go out tonight, so I suppose I'll have to stay in and watch TV.

I'll ping you over the address of the party and hopefully I'll see you there later.

Feifei
这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》节目。这次节目中教给大家的地道表达是用单词 “ping” 来表示 “发送邮件,发信息”。And Rob, I'm going to ping you something.

Rob
Oh yes, what's that?

Feifei
I'm going to ping you an email containing a recipe. 我要给你发个食谱。

Rob
A recipe? What would I need that for?

Feifei
You need to start cooking some real food – you can't live on unhealthy microwave dinners!

Rob
Oh right. And I'm pinging you a message right now. Send!

Feifei
"If you'd invited me for dinner, I wouldn't have to eat microwave dinners." Ah, OK Rob, I get the hint. How about tonight?

Rob
Great! Err, but can you remind me where you live?

Feifei
I'll ping you my address. See ya.

Rob
Don't forget. Bye!
