Jo: Welcome to Real English from BBC Learning 1 English. I'm Jo.
Lily: 大家好，我是杨莉。 在《地道英语》节目中，我们将学到很多现代英式英语中的新词汇和俗语。
Jo: Today we're looking at the word mug M.U.G. mug. If a person is a mug it means they are very easily deceived 2 and a little stupid.
Lily: 原来 a mug 还可以用来形容轻信别人的大傻瓜，Jo 你能举例说明吗?
Jo: Well, perhaps you have a lazy colleague who tells you they have a lot of work and need you to do some. So you do the extra work as well as your work – you're really busy – but really the lazy colleague isn't too busy. They just don't want to work.
Lily: 一些懒惰的同事骗你说，他们忙不过来，你信以为真，马上动手帮忙，结果你被搞得很紧张，其实，那些人并不忙，他们完全是在利用你。
Jo: And if you were tricked in that way you would be a bit of a mug. Let's listen to another example.
Example
A: What's the matter?
B: I feel like a right mug. Someone just came up to me and asked me if I could change ￡1 for two fifty pence 3 pieces. They took the pound and ran off!
Lily: 讲话者说，他觉得自己好像是个大傻瓜 a mug. 因为，别人想把一镑钱换成两个 50 便士的零钱，结果，对方把两份钱，都抓在手里，跑掉了。So being a mug isn't a very nice thing to be, is it Jo?
Jo: Not really Lily. I feel like a mug actually Lily. I always buy you lunch and you never ever buy me anything. I thought you were my friend and we'd share.
Lily: Oh, dear, 你觉得，我只取不付出，是在占便宜, 其实我可不是这样的人! Sorry Jo – I just forget. Come on, I'll buy you lunch today. I don't want you to feel like a mug! And there's today's word, mug 傻瓜，笨蛋.
Jo: That's all from BBC Learning English for today. Bye for now.
Lily: Bye!
