Download this programmeJo: Welcome to BBC Learning English and our Real English programme. I'm Jo and with me today is Lily.
Lily: Hello! 大家好。两分钟的地道英语专门介绍英国当代流行语,其中很多都是在书本上或字典里查不到的。Jo, 今天的新词是什么?
Jo: We're going to look at the word boogie. B.O.O.G.I.E. Boogie.
Lily: Jo 你来说说 boogie 这个词是什么意思?
Jo: Well it's very simple actually – boogie is simply another word for dance.
Lily: 真的? Boogie 就是跳舞的意思?
Jo: Yes it can be used as a verb or as a noun. So you could say 'I want to boogie' – or 'are you having a boogie?'
Lily: Boogie 这个词既可以做动词也可以做名词。Jo 这个词可以对任何人使用,还是仅仅限于熟悉的朋友呢?
Jo: Well it's not a bad word or a rude word – it is informal but there would be nothing wrong if you said this to your boss or a colleague.
Lily: 清楚了,这是个中性词,凡是你想说 dance 跳舞的时候,都可以使用 boogie 来代替,是吗?
Jo: That's right. Let's listen to some examples.
Examples
A: So did you go anywhere good last night?
B: We went for a few drinks and then decided to go for a boogie in that new club on the high street.
A: That was one of the best office parties we've ever had.
B: You seemed to be enjoying yourself – I saw you boogying with Sam at one point.
Jo: So Lily – do you enjoy a good boogie?
Lily: Oh yes, very much. And you Jo? You look like a person who might enjoy a good boogie?
Jo: I love a good boogie Lily. I just don't go out to clubs as much as I used to when I was a student.
Lily: Are you a good dancer?
Jo: I'm ok at boogying – I'm not really bad let's say. Anyway enough of this boogie talk!
