Neil:
Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English, I’m Neil.

Helen: And I’m Helen. Hello!


Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.


Helen: 在我们今天的地道英语中,我们要学习一些当代英语中的新兴词汇和说法。


Neil: Today’s expression is one-hit wonder – one-hit wonder.


Helen: 这个短语是由三个单词组成:one就是数字“一”,hit – H.I.T. 有达到、成功的意思,而wonder W.O.N.D.E.R. 有惊艳、奇迹的意思。– one-hit wonder – 这三个词放在一起又是什么意思呢,Neil?


Neil: Well a one-hit wonder is a band or a singer who just have one big hit. They are only famous for one big song and they usually don’t have any other successful songs.


Helen: OK,one-hit-wonder 通常被用来形容某个乐队或者歌手一曲成名之后却再没有能够推出同样好的作品,再没创造出同样的成功的现象。


Neil: Shall we play you some?


Helen: Oh go on then Neil – give us an example.


Neil: Well back in the 1960s – Ricky Valence was a one-hit wonder with his song Tell Laura I Love Her.


Helen: 在80年代的时候,歌手Robin Beck凭她的一首放在可口可乐广告中的单曲First Time而一举成名。


Insert


A: I really like that modern version 2 of the Elvis song…erm…A Little Less Conversation


B: Oh yeah, I like that too. That was a band called JXL – they were a bit of a one-hit wonder, weren’t they?


Neil: And that’s today’s expression – a one-hit wonder.


Helen: 是的,one-hit wonder – 昙花一现。That’s all for today. You’ve been listening to BBC Learning English.


Neil: Join us again soon for more Real English. Bye.


Helen: Bye!
