地道的BBC英語口語

　　Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.

　　Jean: And I’m Jean.

　　Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

　　Jean: 在我們的《地道英語》節(jié)目當(dāng)中，我們會帶領(lǐng)大家一起來學(xué)習(xí)和熟悉一些近代英式英語里新出現(xiàn)的詞匯和新說法。.

　　Jo: Today’s expression is ‘wow factor’. That’s two words – wow, W.O.W. and factor, F.A.C.T.O.R. Wow factor.

　　Jean: Wow factor. 這個詞組怎么講？

　　Jo: The wow factor is something that makes you pleasantly surprised, makes you say ‘wow!’ . You could use it for anything from a car to an advert on television.

　　Jean: 聽上去wow factor這個說法可以用來形容任何讓人發(fā)出驚艷感嘆的東西，那你能給我們舉個例子嗎？

　　Jo: Of course. You might say ‘His new film wasn’t a big success. It didn’t have the wow factor.’

　　Jean: 那除了說電影，還可以用它形容別的.東西嗎？

　　Jo: Absolutely. You might use it for a good television advert. You could say ‘Toyota’s latest ad uses the wow factor to attract customers.’

　　Insert 錄音片斷

　　A: What did you think of the film Alexander?

　　B: Well, I preferred Gladiator and Troy. Alexander lacked a bit of the wow factor for me.

　　Jo: Have you ever been to New York, Jean?

　　Jean: No Jo, why?

　　Jo: It really has the wow factor. As soon as you arrive, you have to say ‘Wow!’ .

　　Jean: Really?

　　Jo: Yes. It’s an amazing place.

　　Jean: 今天我們學(xué)到的這個新詞wow factor就是用來形容那些讓我們驚艷贊嘆的東西，可以是輛好車，一個美麗的地方，也可以是一種感受，等等。And that’s all we have time for today.

　　Jo: Yes, that’s all. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

　　Jean: See you next time.
