Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m
Jo.
Jean: And
I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in
your English textbook.
Jean:
學習英式英語非常重要的一部分就是要學習他們日常使用的英語口語，而且這些英語的通俗說法并不是經常能在書本上學到的。那Jo，我們今天要學的英語口語詞是什么呢？
Jo: Today’s new word is ‘naff’ – N.A.F.F. – naff.
Jean: Naff. Naff是什么意思呢？
Jo: Well, naff is a slang word. It means bad, not good.
Jean: 那，naff就是不好的、很差的意思嘍。那我們怎么用這個詞呢？
Jo: Well, anytime you want to say something isn’t good. You could say ‘It’s
naff.’ for example ‘I didn’t like the live music. It was naff.’
Jean: 就是說你覺得現場音樂都很差所以你不喜歡？
Jo: Yes. ‘It’s naff’ means ‘It isn’t good.’

A: How was your holiday?
B: A bit naff really. There wasn’t anything to do and the weather was
terrible.
Jo: Have you tried the new restaurant over the road?
Jean: No, have you?
Jo: Yes, but it’s a bit naff. I wouldn’t recommend it.
Jean: Why is it naff?
Jo: Well, the food was naff to start with, and the music is terrible. And it
was quite expensive.
Jean: It does sound naff.
Jo: Yes. Don’t waste your money going to a naff restaurant.
Jean: 好了，今天我們學到的新詞naff是另一個英國特有的口語詞，就是不怎么樣，很差勁的意思，naff。Well, it looks like we
don’t have any more time.
Jo: Yes, that’s it. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC
Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English.
Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
