在日常交流中,表达 “shout-out” 可以被用来 “赞美某人、向某人公开致意”。比如,在颁奖典礼上,获奖者上台发表获奖感言时就可以用 “shout-out” 来感谢帮助他们得奖的人。“Shout-out” 在这个场景中具体怎么用?听节目。

Welcome to Authentic Real English, with me, Neil…

And me, Feifei.
Neil
We have an expression which means 'say a person or thing's name to praise them and thank them publicly' – it's 'shout-out'.

这期节目中我们要一起学习 “shout-out” 的用法。When do we use 'shout-out'?
Neil
Well, I've had a tough year, but I want to give a shout-out to my parents for all the support they've given me with my new home. It means I'm praising them publicly.

“Shout-out” 是向人表达谢意的一种方式。刚才你说你的父母帮你装修房子,很辛苦,所以你想向他们表达谢意,“give a shout-out to your parents”。
Neil
Last week I called up my local radio station to give a shout-out to the people in my area who helped me to repair my garden fence.
Feifei
Yes. I know your fence got damaged in the storm. Did your neighbours help with it?
Neil
Yes, which is why I gave them a shout-out. Let's hear some more examples.
Examples
My teacher gave me a shout-out in the classroom because I got a high mark in the exam.
I want to give a shout-out to the volunteers who raised over £1000 for the children's charity. We will use the money to take the children on a day out in London.
My uncle gave a big shout-out on the radio to the doctor who saved my aunt's life.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上我们介绍了 “shout-out” 的含义和用法。“Shout-out” 的意思是 “在公开场合向某人致意”。
Neil
Yes, and I said earlier that it's commonly done publicly – or in front of a group of people.
Feifei
It's often used in award ceremonies. 颁奖典礼上获奖的人通常会用到 “to give a shout-out to someone” 这样的句型来感谢帮助他们赢得奖项的人。
Neil
Exactly. We often say 'a big shout-out', and it's used with the verb 'give' – 'give a shout-out'.
Feifei
Hope you've learned how to use 'shout-out'. See you next time!
Neil
Bye!
