Be careful - there's a fine line between confident and cocky






Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English. I'm Jo.

Helen: And I'm Helen. 迎收听 BBC 的地道英语节目,希望在接下来的两分钟里,你能学到英式英语中常用的一些表达方式。Jo, 你先说吧。


Jo: Today's word is cocky. C.O.C.K.Y. Cocky.


Helen: 那这是什么意思呢?


Jo: Well a cocky person is someone who is very self-confident and perhaps a little arrogant 2.


Helen: Ah, 这个词是来形容一个非常自信,有点自高自大的人,cocky.


Jo: It's quite an informal word used in a disapproving 3 way.


Helen: 这也是一个非正式表达,而且还带有一点负面的意识,所以别用 cocky 来描绘自己是个充满自信的人。


Jo: So for example, someone you work with might think they know everything really well and make you feel less important because you don't know how to do certain things.


Helen: 你的意思是说在公司经常会有那种自认为什么都懂,比其他人都能干的人。


Insert


A: He really gets on my nerves 4 – he thinks he's so wonderful!


B: Yeah he is a bit cocky isn't he?


A: Linda ran the marathon in four hours – I could easily beat that!


B: Don't get too cocky – it took you two and half hours to run a half marathon!


Jo: Actually Helen, I've been studying Chinese recently and I'm getting really good.


Helen: 哦,是吗? 这么说你的中文现在是突飞猛进,看来过不了多久,你就可以独立做这个节目了。


Jo: Erm 是的,你说对了。


Helen: Ha 看来,她并没完全听懂我。Jo is getting a bit too cocky!


Jo: Anyway that's all from Real English. If you want to learn more words and expressions like you have today, you can find lots more on our website www.bbcchina.com.cn. See you again soon.
