Feifei
欢迎收听BBC英语教学制作的《地道英语》节目。大家好,我是冯菲菲。
Rob
…and me, Rob. Hello. I’m afraid I won’t be here for long, Feifei.
Feifei
Why? What’s happened, Rob?
Rob
Well, I have so much to do. I have to write some texts, I am presenting this and two other programmes, and … yes, I have to upload material to our website…
Feifei
That’s a lot to do, and you look stressed.
Rob
Yeah. It’s not just that… I have to take my son to school, my cat to the vet, buy my wife a birthday present…
Feifei
Rob, 你也太忙了点儿吧。You need some ‘me time’!
Rob
Oh yes, I do! That would be brilliant! Me time is an expression which means time we have for ourselves to do just what we want. Yes, I really do need some me time.
Feifei
Me time 这个表达的意思是属于自己的、用来放松的、做自己想做的事情的私人时间。下面我们来听几个使用 me time 的例句。
Examples
I’ve just sent my mum to a spa in the countryside. She’s been taking care of the whole family and is really in need of some me time!
A: Oh, six in the morning! I’m going to be late for work!
B: Ignore the alarm clock today. It’s Sunday! Stay in bed till late and have some me time.
Feifei
哎,我觉得 Rob 的生活这够忙碌的,要不我做个好人给他点儿“私人时间”。You know, Rob, these examples have inspired me so much that I’ll let you have some me time for the rest of the programme.
Rob
Really?!
Feifei
Yes. What do you like to do to relax?
Rob
Well… I’d like to…
Feifei
Yes?
Rob
What I’d like, I’d really really like is… to take a nap. And now I’m going to do just that. OK. Thanks Feifei. Bye everyone!
Feifei
Rob? Rob? 睡着了,咱们就让他安静的休息会儿吧。谢谢大家收听,我们下次再会。Bye!
