John: Hello there, this is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English, I'm John.


Feifei: And I'm Feifei.


John: The English language is changing all the time, and Real English is your chance to hear the most up-to-date 2 words and phrases that you probably won't find in your dictionary.


Feifei: 今天我们要学习的词是 lippy,如果你对一个人总是很 lippy 的话,意思就是说你这个人总是顶嘴。Lippy 爱顶嘴的, 出言不逊的。


John: If you talk back to a teacher, or if you are rude to them, then you might be accused to being lippy. The word derives 3 from the lips where you form your words.


Feifei: John, have you been lippy to anyone?


John: I think I used to be quite lippy when I was at school. I was always saying things back to the teacher when I wasn't supposed to.


Feifei: But you're not too lippy these days?


John: Well, I can't afford to be lippy with my boss at work, I might lose my job!


Feifei: 原来 John 是怕被炒鱿鱼呀!我们来听听下面的对话是怎么说的。


Insert


A: I've already told you not to be rude.


B: Yeah yeah, you're not so polite yourself!


A: You're really lippy!


B: Me? lippy? No, you are!


Feifei: 上面我们听到的就是一个非常典型的和上级顶嘴的对话。Lippy 爱顶嘴的。John, being lippy could get you into lots of trouble, couldn't it?


John: Yes, I guess it could. If you're too lippy you never know what might happen! Well, that's all for today.


John: See you next time.


Feifei: Bye for now.
