Jiaying
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. 大家好，我是佳莹。
Rob
…and I’m Rob.
Jiaying
哎，你是不是感冒了？
Rob
Yes, I have. I feel terrible – I don’t know if I can present the rest of this programme.
Jiaying
It’s only a cold, Rob, but hang in there. I’m sure you can make it to the end.
Rob
Hang in there? Hang where? In the cupboard? Do you think I’m infectious?
Jiaying
You probably are. 不过我刚才说 “hang in there” 的时候是在鼓励你。当我们告诉别人 “hang in there” 的时候，我们是想说 “尽管有困难，但不应该放弃”。同样，我们也可以说 “hang on in there”，同样是鼓励他人 “坚持下去”。Rob, here’s a tissue – blow your nose and let’s carry on.
Rob
Thanks, and could I have some examples as well, please?
Jiaying
Yes, of course.
Examples
There are just a few miles to go, so hang in there and you’ll complete the race.
Studying for your exams is hard, but if you hang in there, they should go smoothly.
Hang in there – the doctors are doing their best and you should make a full recovery.
Jiaying
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我们刚刚一起学习了如何用 “hang in there” 来鼓励人们 “坚持下去，忍耐一下，尽管有苦难也不要放弃”。Rob, are you able to hang in there for just a little bit longer?
Rob
Oh, I’m trying my best.
Jiaying
Do you need anything to help you get to the end of the programme?
Rob
Oh, err… thanks. Err... a nice hot cup of tea would be lovely, thanks.
Jiaying
OK, Rob – as you’re not feeling great. Oh, no! Have I caught your cold now?
Rob
Oh, hang in there, Jiaying. You’ll be fine.
Jiaying
Thanks – for the encouragement.
Rob
Now, how about that nice cup of tea?
