The script of this programme 本节目台词
Feifei: 大家好,欢迎收听《地道英语》。我是冯菲菲,还有我的搭档 Harry。
Harry: Hello everybody and welcome! And the popular modern expression we are going to look at in this programme is 'game changer'.
Feifei: Game changer - 本期节目我们就来为大家讲解介绍 game changer 这个时下很流行的表达。Harry - did you end up buying a new TV like you were planning?
Harry: I certainly did - and then some! I don't know if 'TV' is really the right word for it though.
Feifei: Why not?
Harry: Well, it's so much more. It's got a 72-inch curved screen with ultimate high-definition and it's 3D. When you watch a programme, it's like you're really there.
Feifei: Wow - 72寸3D曲面屏幕电视!It sounds amazing!
Harry: It is! TV will never be the same again. In TV terms, it's a real game changer.
Feifei: A game changer? 什么意思?
Harry: Well, it's so unlike any normal TV that it's changed the rules of what TVs are. You'll never think of TV in the same way if you watch my TV - it's a new world of television.
Feifei: Game changer 指的是一个完全崭新的、不同以往的东西。这个东西彻底的颠覆了其所在领域的传统游戏规则。这个领域可以是科技方面的,比如,Harry 新买的电视;或某人的创新理念;再比如音乐或时尚领域的新发展动向,或任何一个改变传统规则的创新。
Harry: Let's listen to some examples.
Examples
Feifei: 以上例句中给大家分别列举了不同领域的 game changers。For people learning English, I suppose the internet has been a real game changer. You can study anytime, anywhere now.
Harry: You can - especially if you visit our website bbclearningenglish.com.
Feifei: Very true, 对于英语爱好者来说,我们BBC英语教学的网站就是一个真真正正的 game changer。So Harry, I suppose you're going to be staying in tonight.
Harry: Me? No, I'm going out.
Feifei: But, you've got an amazing new TV, the game changer.
Harry: I know, but it's Thursday, and there's never anything good on TV on Thursdays. And to be honest, I think I've been watching too much TV. I need to get out more.
Feifei: Oh well - I guess your TV didn't change the game for long. 谢谢大家收听,我们下次《地道英语》再会。
Both: Bye!
