ZOË: 大家好，欢迎收听今天的地道英语，我是刘佳。
Helen: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
ZOË: 要掌握地道的英语，重要的就是要不断学习英语中最新出现的新词和新用法。
Helen: New words and expressions enter the English language all the time, so you need to stay up to date.
ZOË: 在今天的节目里，我们要来说的是什么新词呢？Helen
Helen: Today’s new expression is ‘jet 2 lag 3’ – jet and another word lag – jet lag.
ZOË: Jet lag..这是什么意思呢？
Helen: Well, jet lag has only existed since people started to fly long distances regularly.
ZOË: Jet lag是专门用在那些坐了长距离飞机的人身上？为什么呢？Helen
Helen: I’ll explain – jet lag means being tired and confused after a long plane journey, particularly when there is a big difference in time between the two countries.
ZOË: 哦，原来jet lag就是我们经常说的因为时差而导致的疲惫，倒时差的过程可是很痛苦的，长时间的飞行，再加上两个国家的不同时间，人们经常会被弄得颠三倒四。要想恢复精神，可得花上几天时间。
Helen: So, you could say ‘when I went to Japan, I had jet lag for 2 days.’
ZOË: 是啊，我上次回中国，也倒了至少有3天的时差。
Insert
A: Hi John – you’re a bit late. I was expecting you at 9 o’clock.
B: Sorry – I’ve got jet lag, I’m so tired I slept through my alarm clock.
ZOË: Have you ever had jet lag, Helen?
Helen: Oh yes. I always have terrible jet lag for one or two days after a long flight.
ZOË: Really? What do you do to get better?
Helen: Sleep! It’s the only answer for jet lag.
ZOË: Really?
Helen: Yes, but some people aren’t affected 4 by jet lag.
ZOË: They are lucky then.
Helen: I suppose anyway, let’s recap – jet lag –
ZOË: 就是在长时间飞行之后，因为时差而导致疲惫不堪。这也就是我们通常所说的倒时差。
Helen: Well it’s time to go. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
