The script of this programme 本节目台词

Chen Li:大家好,我是陈黎.

Vicki :I'm Vicki. Today we're going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

Chen Li:在今天地纯正英语节目里,我们要学习那个新词?

Vicki :Today's new word is 'rip off'.

Chen Li:Rip off. 能解释一下吗?

Vicki :Rip off means to cheat someone, to make them pay too much for something.

Chen Li:我明白了,rip off 的意思是欺骗人的意思,在汉语里类似敲竹杠或宰客的意思. 你能再说的再详细一点吗?

Vicki :Sure. Rip off can be a noun, so, you might say 'don't go to see that film. it's a rip off'.

Chen Li:意思是说,看那部电影就是浪费钱,那家电影院是在欺骗人,宰客.

Vicki :Well, yes. You can also use it as a verb. You might say 'I think the waiter ripped us off with the restaurant bill. It was more expensive than I expected.'

Chen Li:看来,Rip off 即可以用作动词也可以用作名名词.

Vicki : Yes, that's right.

Insert 录音片断

A: How much did you pay for a coffee at the airport?

B: Five pounds! What a rip off!

A: Always check the price before you pay.

B: Yes. That way they won't rip me off.

Vicki :I think I was ripped off in a restaurant the other day.

Chen Li:真的?究竟发生了什么?

Vicki :Well, when I paid the bill, it was very expensive.

Chen Li:你觉得自己上当了?

Vicki :Yes. I have been there before, and I didn't pay so much.

Chen Li:那你说没说'Don't rip me off'?

Vicki :No. I didn't want to cause problems, so I just paid.

Chen Li:你还会再去哪个地方吗?

Vicki :Never. It's a rip off.

Chen Li:剩下的时间不多了,我们再复习一下今天的词语吧.

Vicki:rip off

Chen Li:欺骗;敲竹杠即可以是名词也可以是动词.
