Diarmuid: Hello and welcome to Authentic 1 Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Diarmuid and I'm here today with Feifei.


Feifei: Hello Diarmuid, how are you?


Diarmuid: Actually, I'm a little tired. I was at my school reunion last night and I didn't get to bed until very late.


Feifei: 那你一定玩儿的很开心啦?


Diarmuid: Yes, it was great to catch up with my old classmates.


Feifei: What did you do with your old classmates?


Diarmuid: I caught up with my old classmates. To catch up - C.A.T.C.H. U.P. - catch up with someone means to find out what they have being doing since you last met.


Feifei: 当我们说 to catch up with someone 意思就是了解某人近况,自你上次和某个朋友通过话或见过面后他/她最近的生活,工作,情感等等方面的状况。那距你上次和同学 caught up 相隔了多久呀?


Diarmuid: Yes, it has been nearly five years since we caught up at our last reunion party.


Feifei: 我们来听一些例子教我们怎么使用 catch up.


Example


A: What are you doing this afternoon?


B: I'm catching 2 up with my friend as I haven’t seen her in ages.


A: I think we need to have more regular meetings.


B: Yes, let’s try to catch up once a week.


Feifei: Did you find out anything interesting when you were catching up with your classmates?


Diarmuid: Well, I heard a rumour 3 传闻 that one of them won the lottery 4 中彩票了。


Feifei: Really?


Diarmuid: I don't know. I wasn't able to talk to him last night. But we have arranged a catch up next week. I will ask him then.


Feifei: 刚刚你说 a catch-up, 那么这个短语还有它的名词形式?


Diarmuid: A catch-up as a noun refers to a meeting.


Feifei: I see. What a useful word catch-up is.


Diarmuid: Bye.


Feifei: Bye.
