欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。大家好,我是冯菲菲。
Rob
… and hello, I’m Rob.
Feifei
你拎着大包小包,这是要去干什么?
Rob
Oh, these? Yes, I’ve been shopping – I finally decided to get out of the house, go shopping and treat myself.
Feifei
Come on, then, Rob. Let’s see what you’ve bought.
Rob
Well, my most expensive purchase was this pair of shoes. What do you think?
Feifei
Wow! They are on fleek!
Rob
What? On fire!? Oh, no. Quick, get some water…
Feifei
No, Rob – on fleek. “On fleek” 是一个口语表达,它多用来形容某物 “很时髦,棒极了,美呆了,极其完美”。
Rob
Hmm… so, you’re saying I look stylish?
Feifei
Umm… well… shall we hear some examples of other things that are ‘on fleek’?
Examples
I love what you’re wearing to the party – you’re on fleek!
That hairstyle is on fleek! Where did you get it done?
She’s just back from the beauty salon and her eyebrows are on fleek!
Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上,我们给大家介绍了 “on fleek” 的意思和用法。“On fleek” 可以形容某物 “非常漂亮、时髦”。And Rob’s new shoes are on fleek! So, Rob, I expect those new shoes were expensive?
Rob
Oh, very! But that’s why they’re – as you say – on fleek.
Feifei
Indeed. So, when are you going to wear them?
Rob
Oh, I’m not going to wear them. They’re too expensive to wear outside!
Feifei
Right. So, you’re going to carry on wearing those filthy trainers?
Rob
Of course! What’s wrong with them?
Feifei
They are not ‘fleek’. They are filthy.
Rob
Ah… looks like I’ll never be a fashion icon then.
Feifei
No, Rob. See ya!
Rob
Bye.
