Neil: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me Neil…

尼爾:大家好,歡迎收聽地道英語節目,我是尼爾。

Li: …and me Li. Hello.

莉:我是莉,大家好。

Neil: In this programme, we're talking about clothes.

尼爾:本期節目中我們要來談談衣服。

Li: Clothes! Oh My favourite subject in the whole world! I know all the designers, I try different styles… I love clothes! Let's talk about MY clothes.

莉:衣服!這是全世界我最喜歡的話題!我瞭解所有時裝設計師,我會嘗試不同的風格……我喜歡衣服!我們來談談我的衣服吧。

Neil: Well… actually I thought we should talk about our smalls.

尼爾:嗯……實際上我覺得我們應該來談談內衣。

Li: Smalls?! Do you think my clothes are too small for me? Are you calling me fat?

莉:小?你覺得我穿的衣服太小了?你是說我胖嗎?

Neil: No, Li. You look fine. 'Smalls' is a word we use for underwear.

尼爾:不是,莉。你身材不錯。Smalls指的是內衣。

Li: Smalls. So you are talking about women's knickers and men's underpants, socks, women's bras…

莉:內衣。所以我們要談女性內褲、男性內褲、襪子還有女性內衣……

Neil: Yes. And we can refer to our underwear as 'smalls' or 'undies'.

尼爾:對。內衣可以用smalls和undies來表達。

Li: Undies. That's easy to remember because it refers to what we wear under our clothes — undies.

莉:內衣。這很容易記,指我們在衣服裏面穿的,所以就是內衣。

Neil: Two easy words to remember when you talk about underwear. And remember they are always plural.

尼爾:你要記住這兩個表達“內衣”的簡單詞彙。同時要記住,這兩個詞都是複數形式。

Li: I see. So you don't say 'one small' or one 'undy'.

莉:我明白了。所以不能說one small或者one undy。

Neil: No, you don't. Smalls and undies are always used in the plural and they mean underwear. Now let's hear some examples of how these words are used.

尼爾:對,不能這麼說。這兩個詞在表示“內衣”這個意思時要用複數形式。現在我們來聽些例句,看看這兩個詞如何應用。

Examples

例句

Linda, hurry up or we'll miss the plane! Don't forget to pack your smalls!

琳達,快點!不然我們就趕不上飛機了!別忘了帶內衣!

Billy, don't walk around the house in your undies. Your granny is coming to visit and she'll be here at any time.

比利,不要穿着內衣在房子裏到處走。你奶奶馬上就要來了,她很快就會到。

Neil: Now don't forget that these words for underwear are very informal and British slang.

尼爾:別忘了這兩個指“內衣”的詞是非正式用法,是英式俚語。

Li: Well, smalls and undies can look good too, even if not many people will see them.

莉:雖然大多數人看不到,但是內衣也可以很漂亮。

Neil: So you want to talk about fashion now.

尼爾:你現在想談談時尚,對吧。

Li: Of course. I love fashion! Do you love fashion, Neil?

莉:當然了。我喜歡時尚!尼爾,你喜歡時尚嗎?

Neil: Er… not so much…

莉:來吧,尼爾,我們去購物吧!我可以幫你挑選最時尚的衣服……你會變得很時尚的。走吧,快點!
