內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介

辦公室的餅干罐里空空如也，是誰(shuí)偷吃了所有的餅干？主持人菲菲看到同事 Rob 滿(mǎn)嘴餅干渣，而且神色慌張、鬼鬼祟祟，便對(duì) Rob 說(shuō) “caught red-handed”。 “餅干小偷” 到底是誰(shuí)？聽(tīng)節(jié)目，學(xué)習(xí)地道英語(yǔ)表達(dá) “caught red-handed” 的意思和用法。

Feifei
大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是菲菲。

Rob
… and me, Rob.

Feifei
Rob, are those crumbs around your mouth? 你嘴巴上是餅干渣嗎？

Rob
No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?

Feifei
我昨天剛把辦公室的餅干罐里裝了滿(mǎn)滿(mǎn)一罐子餅干，但今天一看，罐子卻空空如也，這是怎么回事？

Rob
I see – you think I ate all the biscuits!

Feifei
You do like biscuits… 哎，等一下，你兜兒里裝的是什么？

Rob
Err, well… biscuits.

Feifei
Caught red-handed, Rob! You are the biscuit thief.

Rob
My hands aren't red.

Feifei
我不是說(shuō)你的手是紅色的。我是用 “caught red-handed” 來(lái)表達(dá)你 “在做壞事的時(shí)候，被抓了個(gè)現(xiàn)行，你做錯(cuò)事的行為毋庸置疑”。So, Rob, you've been found out!

Rob
I can explain. But let's have some examples first.

Examples
Jorge was caught red-handed having a sneak peek of his presents before his birthday!

We caught Svetlana red-handed eating chocolate as she said she was giving it up.

The bank worker was sacked after being caught red-handed putting money into his bag.

Feifei
你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。Rob 從辦公室的餅干罐里偷餅干時(shí)，被我逮了個(gè)正著：He's been caught red-handed. 這里，表達(dá) “caught red-handed” 的意思就是 “做不該做的事情時(shí)，被當(dāng)場(chǎng)抓住，逮了個(gè)正著”。Let's face it, Rob, you're guilty!

Rob
OK, OK. I did steal all the biscuits, but it's because I didn't have time for lunch.

Feifei
A likely story.

Rob
Ah… so, shall I put them back in the jar then?

Feifei
Yuck, no! I think you need to buy us some more. And I'm going to put a lock on the jar.

Rob
Why?

Feifei
So you won't be caught red-handed again.

Rob
Oh, crumbs!

Feifei
Bye.

Rob
Bye.
