bbc地道英語口語：designer stubble 胡子

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

　　Helen: And I’m Helen.

　　Neil: This is the programme in which we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Neil: Well, not really, I just haven’t shaved for a few days.

　　Helen: Oh I see, so you’ve got stubble.

　　Neil: That’s right. Today we’re looking at the word "stubble".

　　Helen: So what’s the difference between a beard and stubble? Beard 和 stubble， 這兩個詞其實都和胡子有關，但是它們之間到底有什么區別呢?

　　Neil: Well, stubble is the very short beard you get if don’t shave for a few days.

　　Helen: Stubble 就是短胡子，幾天不刮胡子就會有一圈 stubble。

　　Insert

　　A: Ow, get off! Stop kissing me!

　　B: What’s wrong? I’m your husband!

　　A: Your stubble really hurts my face! Have a shave!

　　Neil: Can you think of any famous men who have stubble?

　　Helen: Well, there’s David Beckham. 貝克漢姆就經常不刮胡子。

　　Neil: David Beckham’s got designer stubble.

　　Helen: Designer stubble? What’s designer stubble?

　　Neil: Some men keep their beard at a very short length all the time to be fashionable. This is called "designer stubble".

　　Helen: 貝克漢姆的短胡子和一般人的胡子還不一樣，他的`是 designer stubble。他留的是胡須很短，而且他每天都得精心修剪，保持他的 stubble。

　　Neil: Stubble is an uncountable noun, so we say "some stubble", not "a stubble" or "stubbles".

　　Helen: 短胡子是不可數名詞，所以我們可以說 "some stubble", 但不能說 "a stubble" 或者 "stubbles"。 后面沒有 "s". Does your wife like your stubble then, Neil?

　　Neil: Well, she likes the way it looks, but not the way it feels.

　　Helen: Hmm， 雖然男人們覺得留了短胡子是時髦， 可是他們的女朋友們親他們的時候可就得受苦了。胡子真的很扎人。

　　Neil: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for some more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

　　Helen: See you next time.
