时间：2018-12-07 作者：英语课 分类：地道英语在线听
Presenter/producer: Helen Hu
Helen: This is Real English from BBC Learning 1 English. I’m Helen.
Zoe: 我是刘佳.
在今天的Real English中，我们来学一些英语中出现的新词儿和习惯用语
Helen: Today’s new word is ‘grub’. – G.R.U.B.
Zoe: Grub, 是什么意思呀？
Helen: Well, it’s quite simple really. Grub is a slang 2 or informal word for food.
Zoe: 哦，听上去挺简单的嘛，grub就是吃的东西
那我能说‘I buy my grub from the supermarket？’
Helen: Of course. But remember it’s informal, and generally not used in formal situations.
Zoe: 明白了，grub是用在非正式的场合，给我们举个例子吧，Helen?
Helen: Well, imagine you were in a very expensive restaurant. You wouldn’t ask ‘How is your grub?’. You’d better say ‘How’s your food?
Zoe: 但是如果我去你家吃晚饭，就可以说‘that was lovely grub’，对吗？
Helen: Yes, you could.

A: How was your trip to Mexico?
B: Quite good, but I didn’t really like the grub.
Zoe: What sort of grub do you like, Helen?
Helen: Oh, most types. Chinese, of course, is my favourite grub of all!
Helen: It’s true. What about you, can you cook?
Zoe: 哈哈，不会。A bit of simple grub is about all I can do
Helen: Well, I don’t know about you, but all this talk of grub is getting me hungry.
Zoe: 我也是，would you like to go for dinner?
Helen: I’d love to. Anyway, let’s recap – grub – is an informal word for food.
Zoe: 记住啊，grub就是吃的东西。Helen, 时间要到了。
Helen: Yes, we have 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.
