Helen: 大家好,我是 Helen.
John: Today, we're going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Helen: 地道英語和大家一起學習現(xiàn)代英式英語中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和實用表達。那 John, 今天你給我們帶來的新詞是什么呢?
John: Well, today's phrase is to go ballistic.
Helen: Sounds a bit odd, what does it mean? 子彈發(fā)射? To go ballistic. John 你最好給我們解釋一下吧!
John: If you go ballistic, you become enraged, really really angry!
Helen: 這么說如果一個人 go ballistic, 那意思就是說他已經(jīng)失去理智了,被什么事情給氣瘋了, to go ballistic.
John: Someone's about to go ballistic here.
Example
A: Well, I told her we were going on holiday next week.
B: Bet she's looking forward to it.
A: No, she went ballistic, she said ''I can't go because I’ve got an interview that week!''
B: You idiot!
Helen: I can see why she went ballistic, she couldn't go on holiday!
John: She really went ballistic, she went mad! Her boyfriend organised a holiday when she couldn't possibly go.
Helen: So she went ballistic, 她被氣壞了,已經(jīng)失去了理智。
John: OK, if something suddenly makes you angry you can say, ''I went ballistic!'' meaning you went crazy, mad, very very angry!
Helen: John, don't go ballistic at me!
John: Don't worry Helen, I'm not angry, yet!
Helen: You've been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. 我們下次節(jié)目再會。
John: Join us next time. Bye.
Helen: Bye.
