The english we speak(BBC教學)第157期:Chillax 冷靜

Wang Fei: (Screaming) Ahhh!!

王飛（尖叫）啊！

Finn: Wang Fei, are you ok?

芬恩：王飛，你還好嗎？

Wang Fei: (Screaming) No, no. Ahhh!!

王飛：（尖叫）不，不好。啊！

Finn: What's wrong? What's wrong?

芬恩：怎麼了？出什麼事了？

Wang Fei: There's a big, green spider in the studio!

王飛：演播室裏有一隻巨大的綠色蜘蛛！

Finn: A spider? Oh, it's only a spider. Chillax!

芬恩：一隻蜘蛛？哦，那只是只蜘蛛，冷靜！

Wang Fei: Chillax?!

王飛：Chillax？！

Finn: Yes, chillax. I'll get the spider... Now, hold on... Got it. Feel better?

芬恩：對，冷靜。我會處理這隻蜘蛛的……現在，等等……解決了。感覺好些了嗎？

Wang Fei: Thanks, yes, much better. So Finn, what was that word you just said?

王飛：謝謝你，感覺好多了。芬恩，剛剛你說的那個詞是什麼意思？

Finn: Chillax. It's a combination of two words. Can you guess them?

芬恩：Chillax，這是由兩個單詞組合而來。你能猜到是哪兩個詞嗎？

Wang Fei: Chill... and... relax?

王飛：Chill和relax嗎？

Finn: Chill and relax, yes. It means the same as chill or chill out or relax. So just now I told you to chillax, which means don't worry, relax.

芬恩：沒錯，就是chill和relax。意思就類似冷靜或是放鬆。剛纔我讓你冷靜，意思就是別擔心，放鬆。

Wang Fei: Oh, I understand. So if I tell somebody to chillax it means, basically, to relax or to calm down?

王飛：哦，我明白了。如果我跟某個人說chillax就是讓他放鬆或是冷靜下來？

Finn: That's right. That's one way we can use it. For example:

芬恩：沒錯。這是我們應用這個短語的一種方式。比如：

I'm so worried about going on my first date with Steven!

我很擔心和史蒂文的第一次約會。

Chillax, it'll be ok. I'm sure you'll have a nice time.

放鬆下來，會沒問題的。我確定你會度過愉快時光的。

Finn: You could also just say, I want to chillax or I'm chillaxing.

芬恩：你也可以說，我想放鬆一下。

Wang Fei: Chillaxing.

王飛：放鬆。

What are you doing tonight?

你今晚做什麼？

Nothing special, just going to chillax at home.

沒什麼特別的，就只是在家放鬆。

Wang Fei: So does chillax mean exactly the same as chill out and relax?

王飛：那chillax和冷靜還有放鬆的意思完全相同嗎？

Finn: Well the meaning is the same, but chillax is a newer expression, so you probably won't hear it as much.

芬恩：意思是相同的，不過chillax是一種更新潮的表達方式，所以可能你聽到的並不多。

Wang Fei: Great. So by the way Finn, where did you put that spider?

王飛：太棒了。對了，芬恩，你把蜘蛛放哪裏了？

Finn: The spider?

芬恩：蜘蛛？

Wang Fei: Yes, the big, green spider.

王飛：對，那隻巨大的綠色蜘蛛。

Finn: Oh, the spider. I can't remember. I think I left it on the desk.

芬恩：哦，那隻蜘蛛。我不記得了。我想我把它放在桌子上了。

Wang Fei: Really? Then what is that big, green thing climbing up your neck?

王飛：真的嗎？那在你脖子上爬的那個巨大的綠色物體是什麼？

Finn: Eh? What? Ahhh!!

芬恩：呃？什麼？啊！

Wang Fei: Ha ha. Finn, chillax! I was just kidding.

王飛：哈哈，芬恩，放鬆！我只是開玩笑的。

Finn: Very funny Wang Fei. Bye for now.

芬恩：太有趣了，王飛。現在該說再見了。

Wang Fei: Bye.

王飛：再見。
