Feifei
Hello! 大家好,欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是菲菲。

Rob
… and me, Rob.

Feifei
Rob,我有一个激动人心的好消息要和大家分享!

Rob
Well, can I just tell everyone my news first? 

Feifei
行,那你先分享你的好消息。

Rob
I passed my grade one guitar exam!

Feifei
Oh, well done, Rob! But you've stolen my thunder now!

Rob
Err… I'm not a thief, Feifei. I was just telling everyone my good news.

Feifei
我刚才说 “you've stolen my thunder”,意思是 “你抢了我的风头”。我们用 “steal someone's thunder” 来指 “抢先某人做了某事,抢了某人的风头,抢了功劳,赢得称赞”。 Rob, well done, enjoy the attention.

Rob
Thanks. Will these examples steal your thunder as well?

Examples
Joe stole my thunder by announcing his promotion before I got to tell everyone about mine!

She's always stealing my thunder by telling people our news before I do.

I was telling a joke and he just interrupted me to tell a different one. He always steals my thunder.

Feifei
你正在收听的是 “地道英语” 节目。上面,我们学习了 “steal someone's thunder” 的意思和用法。So, Rob, you are now the focus of attention. 

Rob
Why do you sound so angry?

Feifei
Well, I had some big news I wanted to share.

Rob
Oh! Go on then, tell everyone – share your important news.

Feifei
It's just that I've been studying for years. I've passed my final exams and I am now a fully qualified brain surgeon.

Rob
Oh, I knew that. I saw the certificate on your desk. Yeah, well done.

Feifei
Thanks. Looks like you've stolen my thunder... again.

Rob
Bye.

Feifei
Bye.
