Feifei
大家好!欢迎收听由 BBC英语教学制作的 “地道英语” 节目。我是冯菲菲。
Roy
And I'm Roy! Feifei, have you listened to the latest song by my favourite band, Dragon Tennis?
Feifei
Dragon Tennis are a terrible band who make dreadful music. Mic drop!
Roy
What?! I think the lead singer dropped the microphone once. You can't hate them because of that!
Feifei
你又没有理解我的意思!当我们在与他人的讨论中提出了一个中肯的观点后,我们可以用 “mic drop (扔话筒)” 来结束讨论。
Roy
Oh, so our conversation is finished? OK. Well, that makes sense about the expression 'mic drop'.
Feifei
我们也可以在批评完某人后说 “mic drop”。
Roy
Yes, for example: Feifei, your taste in music is terrible which is why you don't appreciate Dragon Tennis. Mic drop!
Feifei
Very good example, but not true. Let's listen to these examples.
Examples
Your idea is the worst thing I've ever heard! Mic drop.
I can't believe he ended his message with 'mic drop'. He's so wrong and the discussion is not over!
This is undoubtedly the best game ever. Mic drop!
Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。在这期节目中,我们一起学习 “mic drop” 的意思和用法。“Mic drop” 原指 “在表演或演讲结束的时候故意扔掉麦克风的举动,以此来引人瞩目”。现如今,人们用 “mic drop” 来示意 “一个讨论就此结束,没什么可说的了”。
Roy
Yes, it's quite common in messages or emails. It's also seen with the verb 'perform'.
Feifei
That's right – 'perform a mic drop'. I use this a lot when I'm discussing things with people and I know I'm right.
Roy
It's true that you say that a lot. I think you've explained the expression really well.
Feifei
It's true! My job here is done. Mic drop!
Roy
Haha – very good use of 'mic drop'. What else should we teach now?
Feifei
Nothing. I was serious when I said 'mic drop'. Bye.
Roy
Bye!
