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: 在今天的地道英语中,我们来学一些英语中新出现的习惯表达。


Neil: New words enter the English language all the time.


Helen: 所以跟着Real English学习英语,及时更新,保持新鲜的英语词汇是很重要的.


Neil: Of course.


Helen: 那Neil,我们今天要学的是什么新词呢?


Neil: Today’s new expression is 'the school run'.


Helen: The school run. School 学校,run 跑步?这难道是一种体育运动?


Neil: No, actually! The school run is when mothers drive their children to school in the morning and collect them again in the evening.


Helen: 这个school run 原来专门指的是妈妈们接送小孩儿上学,放学啊。但是,为什么要专门弄个短语来特指这个意思呢?


Neil: Well, many people complain about the school run because it means there is a lot of extra traffic on the roads when they are trying to drive to work.


Helen: 这个school run 的时间一到,路上一下子多了好多车,在上下班高峰期的时候,就造成堵车。


Neil: Nowadays most children are taken to school by one of their parents in a car.


Helen: 这样啊,就造成了交通堵塞,给上下班的人带来了不少麻烦。


Neil: That’s right. It’s caused by the school run.


Insert


A: You’re early. You don’t normally 2 arrive till 9.30!


B: I know, but it’s school holidays so I avoided the school run traffic and it took me much less time than normal.


Helen: 你以前是走路上学吗?Neil?


Neil: No, I took the bus. I lived about 2 miles from my school.


Helen: 我住的地方到是离学校很近,只要用20分钟就走到了。


Neil: The school run is a problem if you live near a school.


Helen: 对,送完孩子,想要去哪儿去都不太容易,因为好多车都挤在一起了。


Neil: Yes – it can be difficult to park your car, or it will take you longer in the morning to get to work.


Helen: That’s a problem.


Neil: Yes, Helen. I wish the kids and their parents all took a bus or walked.


Helen: 好啦,我们来复习一下今天学的 the school run – 就是家长们开车接送孩子上下学,因此而导致了拥挤的交通。


Neil: 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.


Helen: See you next time.
