　　BBC地道英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):Taking the Mickey/Mick 取笑/挖苦

　　Jo: You're listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.

　　Lily: And I'm Lily. 兩分鐘的地道英語(yǔ)專門(mén)向大家介紹英國(guó)當(dāng)代流行語(yǔ)， 其中很多都是在書(shū)本上或字典里查不到的。 Jo, 今天學(xué)什么新詞語(yǔ)?

　　Jo: Today's expression is to... take… the… mickey M.I.C.K.E.Y. To take the mickey out of someone.

　　Jo: Well, it is a way of saying in English 'to make fun of someone'.

　　Lily: 這下我就明白了。 在你想取笑某人，讓他們出洋相的時(shí)候就可以說(shuō)， you are taking the mickey out of them, right?

　　Jo: That's right. And it's usually in a fun, jokey kind of way that you take the mickey although sometimes it can be used in a more serious way. Here are some more examples:

　　Insert

　　A: Everyone always takes the mickey out of me because my wife makes my lunch every day.

　　B: Aw, but she makes you such nice lunches?

　　A: Are you taking the mick as well?

　　A: How's your new English teacher?

　　B: He's OK but everyone takes the mickey out of him because he always wears an awful jacket and red shoes! No one takes him seriously!

　　Lily: 第一段對(duì)話表現(xiàn)了一種善意的取笑，因?yàn)榭偸抢掀艦檫@位男子打點(diǎn)好午餐，所以辦公室的.同事們不免都來(lái)善意的挖苦挖苦這個(gè)男子。 但是第二段對(duì)話中,學(xué)生們因不喜歡老師的裝束而不把老師放在眼里,這就有些不敬的味道了。 總之， to take the mickey out of someone 就是善意或惡意地取笑挖苦某人。

　　Jo: Don't forget you can learn more Real English words and expressions by logging onto our website at www.bbcchina.com.cn.

　　Lily: And you might see some really nice pictures of Jo on there!

　　Jo: Are you taking the mickey, Lily?

　　Lily: 怎么， 你沒(méi)感覺(jué)到我也正在從你身上學(xué)習(xí)英國(guó)式的諷刺幽默嗎! 畢竟，那是你的明星照 啊!

　　Jo: Hmmmm – I think it's a very nice photo! Anyway, thanks for listening to our BBC Learning English programme – we'll see you next time.

　　Lily: 下次節(jié)目再會(huì)!
