Teachers PetBBC地道英語口語

　　Helen: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Helen.

　　Oliver: 嗨，我是 Oliver。

　　Helen: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

　　Helen: Today we are going to talk about being a teacher’s pet.

　　Oliver: 這個(gè)短語和學(xué)校生活有些關(guān)系。

　　Helen: Yes, it’s an expression we often hear in schools, especially among students.

　　Oliver: 那么請告訴我們 a teacher’s pet 究竟是什么意思呢？

　　Helen: The definition of a teacher’s pet usually refers to a student who is popular with the teachers, and probably not popular with fellow students.

　　Oliver: 老師就是 teacher, a pet 就是寵物, 放在一起，這個(gè)短語就是說那些老師很喜歡或者說經(jīng)常能得到老師特別照顧的學(xué)生。

　　Helen: And it’s not a particularly nice phrase to say to someone. It has a negative meaning.

　　Oliver: 對，這是個(gè)貶義的短語，千萬不要用在表揚(yáng)那些學(xué)習(xí)好的人啊。小心會(huì)惹火上身哦。

　　A: How did you do in your essay?

　　B: I got an okay grade, but Mr Jones gave Sarah Evans top marks though.

　　A: I’m not surprised, she’s a teacher’s pet, you know. They always give her good marks.

　　Oliver: 通常來講，如果一個(gè)學(xué)生在學(xué)校表現(xiàn)很好，特別是在主課上表現(xiàn)很好，就很容易得到老師的`喜歡。

　　Helen: Then other students might brand him or her a teacher’s pet.

　　Oliver: Helen, did anyone ever call you a teacher’s pet?

　　Helen: Once or twice. I was quite good at maths.

　　Oliver: And how did you react?

　　Helen: I just ignored their comments. I think my classmates were just jealous of my results.

　　Oliver: 嗯，我們今天學(xué)到得短語就是老師的寵物。

　　Helen: A teacher’s pet. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us next time.

　　Oliver: 我們下次節(jié)目再會(huì)。
