大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目，我是佳莹。
Rob
And I’m Rob. Hey, Jiaying, I wonder if you can help me with something.
Jiaying
你想让我帮个忙。没问题！是什么事情呀？
Rob
Well, I haven’t finished making today’s programme, and I thought, maybe you could quickly do it?
Jiaying
The programme’s not finished?! Rob, ‘just’ making a programme is easier said than done.
Rob
Right… so, it’s easy? You can do it?
Jiaying
No, Rob. It’s easy to say ‘do it’ but in practice it’s not. 口语表达 “easier said than done” 的意思是 “一件事情说起来容易，但做起来却很难”。
Rob
OK, so making this programme isn’t that easy. What do you need?
Jiaying
Examples.
Rob
That’s OK! I’ve got those already.
Examples
We said we’d find a cheaper house to live in outside the city, but that’s easier said than done.
I thought getting the train to the airport would be simple, but it was easier said than done.
I’m trying to lose weight but it’s easier said than done.

Rob
So, you think finishing Authentic Real English is easier said than done? Well, don’t worry because I’ve managed to finish the script…
Jiaying
Good!
Rob
… yeah and I’ve printed out the scripts, and I’ve prepared the studio – so, to be honest, it’s easy to say and do!
Jiaying
But the hard part is remembering to record it – but don’t worry, I have, so the programme is done.
Rob
Ah… you make it look so easy!
Jiaying
If you say so, Rob. Bye.
Rob
Bye-bye!
