Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Jean: 在《地道英语》节目中，我们要来了解和学习一些英国英语语言中新出现的新词汇和短语。
Jo: It’s very important to stay up-to-date 2 with English because new words and expressions enter the language all the time.
Jean: 我们今天的新词是什么呢? Jo？
Jo: Today’s word is ‘techie’ – T.E.C.H.I.E. – techie.
Jean: Techie. 什么意思呢?
Jo: Well, a techie is a technician 3 who is very good at – and interested in – a particular technology, particularly computers.
Jean: 知道了。A techie 就是一位对某项技术极具兴趣又特别专长的技师专家的意思，而且往往和电脑方面有关。
Jo: Yes. You could say, "Don’t worry about the new computer system – the techies are coming tomorrow to fix everything."
Jean: I see.

A: What do you do in your free time?
B: Well, I’m a bit of a techie. I spend most weekends working on my computer.
Jo: Are you a techie, Jean?
Jean: No. I don’t really understand computers at all.
Jo: Me neither, but my brother is.
Jean: Really?
Jo: Yes. If I have a problem with my computer, he comes and fixes it. And he really enjoys it!
Jean: So he’s a techie!
Jo: Yes. He spends all his free time on the computer or reading magazines about them. He’s a real techie.
Jean: Yes, I think he is. 好了，总结一下，今天我们学到的新英式口语词就是techie，专指那种对某项技术极具兴趣又特别专长的技师或者专家。And that’s all we have time for today.
Jo: Yes, that’s all. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
