Anger on the road
Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English. I’m Neil.
Helen: 大家好，我是 Helen。
Neil: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Helen: 在今天的 Real English 这个环节，我们来一块儿学一些英语中出现的新鲜词汇和习惯用语。
Neil: The English language is always growing and new words come into use all the time.
Helen: 没错儿，所以我们要不断及时的更新自己脑中的词汇。
Neil: That’s right.
Helen: 接下来，Neil 要告诉我们今天的新词儿是？
Neil: Today’s new word is 'road rage 2'.
Helen: Road rage. 这两个词是什么意思呢？
Neil: Well, you may have heard the word rage on its own. It means to be extremely angry. Road rage means to become extremely angry on the road when driving – and then to actually attack other drivers!
Helen: 那 Neil 能给我们举个例子，让我们看看这个 road rage 到底应该怎么用?
Neil: Of course. Sometimes people get very angry when they drive. They attack another motorist, you call this road rage.
Helen: 哦，原来 road rage 是指发生在公路上的暴躁情绪，有的时候无辜的乘客还会成为牺牲品被袭击。
Neil: Exactly.

A: Hey, John! What happened to your face? Have you been in a fight?
B: Kind of. I was the victim of a road rage attack! An angry driver hit me in the face!
A: That’s terrible! Did you call the police?
B: Of course, but as I didn’t really get a good look at him there’s not much they can do.
Neil: I saw some road rage the other day.
Helen: Really? What happened?
Neil: Two men had an argument at the traffic lights.
Helen: 然后是不是他们就变得非常暴躁？
Neil: Yes. They were shouting a lot, and then they started fighting!
Helen: What? 互相打了起来，那当时你在旁边没吓坏了呀？
Neil: Well, the police came and arrested them – for road rage, I think.
Helen: Good!
Neil: Yes Helen. People shouldn’t get so angry. Anyway, let’s recap – road rage - means to become violent when driving and physically 3 attack another motorist
Helen: Road Rage 是指人们在公路上的愤怒急噪情绪。要知道在路上闹别扭，生气可是很危险的，所以我们大家也应该努力让 road rage 少发生。
Neil: Well, You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
