Zoe:Hi,我是刘佳。
Helen:Today we're going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Zoe:在今天的节目里,我们要一块儿来学学在英语中出现的新词儿,Helen,今天我们要学的是什么词呢?
Helen:Today's new word is 'shades'. shades.
Zoe:Shades. 你能给我们讲讲它的意思吗?Helen?
Helen:Well, shades is another word for sunglasses.
Zoe:我知道 shade 在英语里是阴暗,阴凉处的意思,所以我想把太阳眼镜(墨镜)说成 shades 可能也是从这个意思来的吧。可是我们应该怎么用它呢?
Helen: Well, it's an informal word. so you could say to a friend 'I need to buy some new shades for my holidays`.
Zoe:哦,原来 shades 就是在不正规场合时候用的,墨镜的意思
Helen:That's right.
