John:Hello, You're listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm John.

Helen:And I'm Helen.

John:Here on Real English, you can learn words and phrases which you might not find in your dictionary.

John:Today we're going to learn about the word – chuck, c-h-u-c-k, chuck.

Helen:So what does it mean? 这个表达是什么意思呢？

John:Chuck is an informal expression.

Helen:是一个通俗表达， an informal expression.

John:It means to throw something over, or throw something out carelessly.

Helen:Carelessly, 很随便的， 这个chuck 的意思是很随便的把东西扔到一边儿去。

John:That's right. Let's hear some examples.

Examples:

A:Sid, you're making a right mess on the dinning table, if you don't tidy it up by this evening, I'm going to chuck all your stuff out.

B:God! The CD player is broken again. It's just so annoying.

C: You should just chuck it, CD players are so cheap now, you can pick a new one up for ten pounds.

B:Yeah, you're right. This one is going in the bin.

Helen:看来chuck 的确是一个非常通俗的表达，听起来我也觉得非常随便。

John:That's right, it's a very casual expression and you hear people saying it all the time.

Helen:那好我们复习一下，chuck 的意思就是把什么东西随便扔了吧。

John:We can chuck our scripts now, we're done.
