The script of this programme本节目台词
Jean: Hi, you're listening to Jean Dong and this is Authentic Real English.
William: Hi, I'm William Kremer. We're going to be talking to you about the word wonky. W.O.N.K.Y.
Jean: Yes, just before today's show William was telling me that his chair is wonky.
William: Yes, my chair is wonky.
Jean: William 坐的椅子整个倒了，现在他已经坐在地上了。
William: That's right Jean; my chair has collapsed because it was wonky.
Jean: OK. 看来 wonky 这个词的意思就是 shaky 或者是 uneven. Shaky 摇摇晃晃的，uneven 歪的。
William: Yeah let's listen to these people using the word wonky.
Example:
A: I like your new glasses but they don't look straight.
B: Oh, that's because my ears are wonky.
A: The wheel on my bike is wonky.
B: Oh... that explains why you looked so wobbly when you were cycling.
Jean: Ah so the first person said his ears were wonky. 那他的耳朵不会掉下来吗?
William: No, he used wonky to mean uneven.
Jean: 噢，谢天谢地。
William: And the second person said the wheel on his bike is wonky.
Jean: Yes, 他自行车的轮子是 wonky 的，就是说是没有安好，是歪的。
William: And his friend said he looked wobbly.
Jean: 就是说，如果他的自行车轮子是 wonky 的，那么他看上去也是 wobbly 也就不奇怪了。Wobbly 就是抖动的或者是摇摇摆摆的，平衡掌握得不好的样子。
William: Ok Jean, I think that we're going to have to end the show here.
Jean: Yes, and you'd better go and find a new chair.
William: Yep and I'll be sure to check that my new chair is not wonky.
Jean: Ok and I'll remindeveryone that they can visit our website www.bbcchina.com.cn for more Authentic Real English programmes.
William: Thanks for that Jean. Bye.
Jean: Bye.
