Jean:
学习英式
英语非常重要的一部分就是要
学习他们日常使用的
英语口语,而且这些
英语的通俗说法并不是经常能在书本上学到的。那Jo,我们今天要学的
英语口语词是什么呢?
Jo: Today’s new word is ‘naff’ – N.A.F.F. – naff.
Jean: Naff. Naff是什么意思呢?
Jo: Well, naff is a slang word. It means bad, not good.
Jean: 那,naff就是不好的、很差的意思喽。那我们怎么用这个词呢?
Jo: Well, anytime you want to say something isn’t good. You could say ‘It’s naff.’ for example ‘I didn’t like the live music. It was naff.’
Jean: 就是说你觉得现场音乐都很差所以你不喜欢?
Jo: Yes. ‘It’s naff’ means ‘It isn’t good.’
