| [00:00.74] | Hello and welcome to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English, I'm Helen. With me today is quite a frustrated-looking Neil. |
| [00:09.84] | Neil, what are you doing to that mobile phone? |
| [00:12.84] | Argh, I can't get it to make a phone call. |
| [00:16.75] | It does everything else. It takes photos, it connects to the Internet, it even irons my shirts but it won't make a call. |
| [00:25.80] | Your mobile phone irons your shirts? |
| [00:27.89] | No, not really, but honestly it does everything apart from the one thing I want it to do, make a phone call. It's a joke. |
| [00:38.10] | A joke? But you're not laughing. It can't be a very funny joke. |
| [00:42.69] | Well if you say something is a joke in English it can also mean that it's not very good or not worthy of respect. |
| [00:49.83] | Yes, "joke" has a second meaning. |
| [00:53.92] | The investigation into police corruption was a complete joke. Everyone knows the officers were taking money but they were let off. |
| [01:01.99] | The weather forecast was a total joke. It said it would be warm and sunny but it's freezing and raining. |
| [01:10.22] | As you heard there in the example, the person described an investigation into police corruption as a joke. |
| [01:17.64] | This doesn't mean it was funny. It means it wasn't serious. Also the weather forecast was so bad it was described as a joke. |
| [01:27.52] | Notice that you can add words before "joke" to make the meaning even stronger. It's a complete joke. |
| [01:34.31] | A complete joke. |
| [01:36.60] | It's a total joke. |
| [01:37.55] | A total joke. |
| [01:38.87] | It's an absolute joke. |
| [01:41.37] | Anyway Neil, why don't you just read the instructions for your new mobile phone? Then you'll probably be able to work out how to make a call. |
| [01:49.67] | I looked at the instructions but they're an absolute joke. |
| [01:52.86] | Oh really? |
| [01:53.78] | Well for a start they are in about 17 languages apart from English. |
| [01:58.33] | What a joke! |
| [01:59.34] | Yeah I know. |
| [02:00.60] | Well we've heard lots of jokes in today's programme but there hasn't been much laughing. |
| [02:04.73] | Argh, what a useless piece of. |
| [02:07.74] | Let's hope Neil finally works out how to use his phone. |
| [02:11.66] | Argh, this is beyond a joke, it really is. |

| [00:00.74] | 大家好，欢迎来到英国广播公司英语学习班，我是海伦。今天尼尔看起来很沮丧。 |
| [00:09.84] | 尼尔，你拿那部手机干什么？ |
| [00:12.84] | 啊，我不能打电话 |
| [00:16.75] | 它其他的什么都能做。它拍照，连接到互联网，甚至熨我的衬衫，但它不会打电话。 |
| [00:25.80] | 你的手机熨衬衫？ |
| [00:27.89] | 不，不是真的，但老实说，除了我想做的事，它做任何事情，打个电话。这是个玩笑。 |
| [00:38.10] | 一个笑话吗？可是我看不到你脸上有任何笑容，这个玩笑肯定不好笑 |
| [00:42.69] | 当我们说某件事情是一个玩笑时，实际是想表达这件事处理非常不当。 |
| [00:49.83] | 是的，joke有其他的意思 |
| [00:53.92] | 对警察腐败的调查完全是个笑话。大家都知道警察在拿钱，但他们被放过了。 |
| [01:01.99] | .天气预报完全是个笑话。它说天气温暖而晴朗，但又冷又下雨 |
| [01:10.22] | 正如你在这个例子中听到的那样，这个人描述了这件对警察腐败的调查简直是个笑话 |
| [01:17.64] | 这并不是说这件事情很好笑，实际意思是没人在彻底调查，根本就不起作用。另外天气预报根本就不准，所以被形容为 a joke. |
| [01:27.52] | 注意，你可以在“笑话”之前加上单词，使意思更强烈。这完全是个笑话。 |
| [01:34.31] | 这完全是个玩笑 |
| [01:36.60] | 这简直是在开玩笑 |
| [01:37.55] | 开玩笑！ |
| [01:38.87] | 这绝对是个玩笑 |
| [01:41.37] | 不管怎样，尼尔，你为什么不看一下你的新手机的说明书呢？然后你可能会知道如何打电话。 |
| [01:49.67] | 我看了说明书，但完全是个笑话 |
| [01:52.86] | 噢 真的吗 |
| [01:53.78] | 首先，除了英语外，他们的语言大约有17种。 |
| [01:58.33] | 开什么玩笑 |
| [01:59.34] | 是的我明白 |
| [02:00.60] | 我们今天听到了不少玩笑但他们并不好笑 |
| [02:04.73] | 噢 真没用 |
| [02:07.74] | 希望尼尔最后能搞清楚怎样用他的手机 |
| [02:11.66] | 这不是玩笑，这是真的 |
| [02:14.56] | 加入我们下期再会 |
| [02:17.80] | 噢 电话。。。 |
