[00:00.28] | Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is Rob. |
[00:04.14] | And hello, my name is Helen. |
[00:06.60] | Hold on Helen, hold on. We can't hear you properly. I think your microphone is playing up. |
[00:10.50] | Playing up? |
[00:11.23] | Sorry, I didn't quite catch that. |
[00:12.78] | Let me just push this button. Oh There! Hello. Now, you said the microphone was playing up? |
[00:19.84] | That's right. It wasn't working properly. If something isn't working as it should be, we sometimes say it's playing up. |
[00:26.28] | Up – not down? |
[00:28.19] | Nope. Playing down is a different expression that means something totally different. |
[00:32.64] | OK. So as the picture on my TV at home is flickering, I can say my TV is playing up? |
[00:39.57] | Exactly. Let's hear about some other things that are playing up. |
[00:44.95] | I don't think I'll be able to give you a lift to work today, my car's been playing up. |
[00:51.50] | Oh,my phone keeps playing up. Every time I dial a number, it just switches itself off. |
[01:00.88] | That sounds like my phone! So if something isn't doing what is should do then it's misbehaving? |
[01:07.46] | Ha Ha! Well, you could say that. It's just like people. When they misbehave we can say they're playing up. Like this… |
[01:15.30] | Sorry but I'm going to be late. The children have been playing up and I've still got so much to do. |
[01:22.46] | BBC Learning English. |
[01:25.79] | Oh,children are very good at playing up;it's usually because they want attention. |
[01:31.46] | Now, Helen, could I have your attention now please . |
[01:33.95] | Because playing up is also something you can say to describe a part of your body that's not working properly. |
[01:42.50] | Ow! Ow! I'm going to have to lie down; my back's playing up again. |
[01:51.31] | Count me out of this weekend's football match; my leg's playing up so I need to rest it. |
[01:57.81] | So it seems playing up refers to anything that's not working or behaving as it should. |
[02:03.80] | Now Rob, my leg's also been playing up so I wonder if you could give me a lift home in your car? |
[02:10.60] | No way - oh it looks like my microphone's playing up now! |
[02:14.11] | No, Rob, it's you who's playing up - now switch it back on! |
[02:17.87] | Oh, Oh, OK. Then, Helen! |
[02:20.15] | Let's go then. Bye! |
[02:21.78] | Bye. |

[00:00.28] | 哈喽,欢迎收听《一起说英语》,我的名字叫萝卜 |
[00:04.14] | 哈喽,我是海伦 |
[00:06.60] | 等一等,海伦,等等,我们听不太清楚你的声音,我觉得你的麦克风失灵了。 |
[00:10.50] | 失灵了? |
[00:11.23] | 抱歉,我听不太清楚你说了什么 |
[00:12.78] | 等一下,让我按下这个按钮就好了,就是这个~哈喽,你刚才说麦克风“ Playing up” ? |
[00:19.84] | 对,你的麦克风不工作了,如果某个东西不按照它应当运作的方式进行,我们就说它 ”Playing up “了,即失灵了,失控了的意思。 |
[00:26.28] | 向上,而不是向下吗? |
[00:28.19] | 不,” Playing down" 是另外的表达,它有着完全不一样的含义 |
[00:32.64] | 好吧,所以当我的电视屏幕一闪一闪的,我可以说我的电视坏掉了? |
[00:39.57] | 当然,让我们来听一些关于失灵了的其它例子吧。 |
[00:44.95] | 我今天好像不能开车送你去上班了,我的车坏掉了。 |
[00:51.50] | 噢,我的手机失灵了,每次我拨号时,它就会自动关机。 |
[01:00.88] | 听起来和我的手机差不多,所以,当某个东西不按照其运作方式运行时,就被称为失灵了? |
[01:07.46] | 哈哈,好吧,也可以这么说,就像人一样,当他们作出不合理的行为时,我们就可以说他们“ Playing up ” 了,像这样.... |
[01:15.30] | 抱歉,我可能要迟到了,我的孩子总是搞破坏,所以我还得收拾残局很久 |
[01:22.46] | BBC英语学习 |
[01:25.79] | 是的,小孩子很擅长搞破坏,他们这样做常常是想吸引我们的注意力 |
[01:31.46] | 现在,海伦,请你全神贯注的听我说了好吗? |
[01:33.95] | 因为你也可以用“Playing up”来形容你身体的某个部位不太舒服 |
[01:42.50] | 我去!我得躺着才行,我的背又开始痛了。 |
[01:51.31] | 把我从这周末的足球比赛中剔除吧,我的腿受伤了,所以我只能把这次比赛放弃了 |
[01:57.81] | 所以,似乎“Playing up”可以被用于任何不正常运作,表现的事物上 |
[02:03.80] | 现在,萝卜,我的腿好像有点疼,所以我想问你今晚可以开车载我回家吗? |
[02:10.60] | 没门儿,噢,我的麦克风好像失灵了 |
[02:14.11] | 不,萝卜,是你想耍赖了,现在,快恢复正常吧 |
[02:17.87] | 噢噢,好的,走吧,海伦 |
[02:20.15] | 我们走了,拜拜 |
[02:21.78] | 拜~ |
