迫切吞掉-英语听力

[00:02.92]Hi Helen. I thought I would pop round to talk to you about today's Authentic Real English, but err, it looks like you're busy.
嗨，海伦。我得来找你谈谈今天的地道英语节目，额，但你看起来很忙啊。 [00:10.14]What are all these police cars doing here?
这么多警车在这干嘛？ [00:12.64]Quick, come in, shut the door, now this is very serious. There has been a murder.
快进来，把门关上，现在情况很严重。这有一起谋杀案。 [00:19.31]What?
什么？ [00:20.13]A murder. I know it's not very nice, but to be honest the police can't find any blood or a body. It's like a murder mystery.
谋杀！我知道这可不是什么好事，但说实话，警察找不到任何血迹和尸体。这就像一宗悬疑谋杀案。 [00:31.66]Hmm,a murder mystery,well we need to do our own investigation. So what exactly happened?
唔...谋杀悬疑案，我们得自己调查。所以到底发生了什么? [00:38.20]Well, my friend came to see me this morning.
我朋友今早来看我了。 [00:41.10]I see.
我知道。 [00:42.35]And we were having a nice chat when she said I could murder a coffee and then she disappeared and I haven't heard from her since.
我们聊得很开心，她说我可以“谋杀”杯咖啡，然后她就失踪了，从那以后我就再没她的消息了。 [00:53.27]Right. Well Helen, I think you can relax, I think she's still alive and everything is ok.
好吧。海伦，我觉得你可以放轻松，因为我认为她还活着，很平安。 [01:00.30]There's no murder?
啊，没有谋杀吗? [01:02.26]No murder. When people say they could murder something it's an informal way of saying they are starving or thirsty and are desperate to have something to eat or drink.
没有谋杀。当人们说他们可以谋杀某物时，表示他们很饿或很渴，这是非常想吃点东西或喝点东西的非正式说法。 [01:12.28]But murder is a strong word.
但是谋杀这个词也太过了。 [01:14.00]Yes. It stresses how desperate someone is for something. A direct translation would mean you are so desperate for something you would kill it.
是的。它强调了人们对某物的渴望。直译过来就是你太渴望某样东西了，以至于你想要扼杀它。 [01:22.49]But in reality, we don't go that far.
但在现实中，我们不会做地这么过的。 [01:24.80]Thank goodness.
哦，谢天谢地。 [01:26.50]Here are some more examples.
这还有更多的例子： [01:28.74]It's been a really tough day at work, I could murder a beer or two, anyone want to join me at the pub?
今天工作好辛苦，我想“谋杀”（喝）一两杯啤酒，有人想和我一起去酒吧吗? [01:36.10]I'm starving, I could murder a curry.
我快饿死了，我都能“谋杀”（吞）掉一道咖喱了。 [01:40.85]the English we speak
——地道英语—— [01:44.25]It's amazing what people will commit murder for. But in reality when we would murder for something, we just have a desperate need for something.
人们“谋杀”的缘由真神奇啊。但在现实中，当我们为了某样东西“谋杀”时，我们只是在极度渴求它。 [01:53.80]People also describe a situation or a feeling as murder, but again there is no killing involved. They are just trying to explain that something is bad or uncomfortable.
人们也会用“murder”来描述一种情况或者感觉，但这里也不涉及谋杀。这只是在试图解释某件事是不好的或让人不舒服的。 [02:04.12]So the word murder is also used to emphasise a bad situation or uncomfortable feeling. Such as Rob?
所以“murder”这个词也可以用来强调糟糕的情况或不舒服的感觉吗。比如“抢劫”? [02:11.98]Such as in these examples.
比如下面这些例子： [02:14.35]Running a marathon is murder on my knees.
跑马拉松对我的膝盖来说简直就是“谋杀”。（跑马拉松对我的膝盖来说太受罪了。） [02:18.70]I've been decorating all day and my back is murder.
我装修了一整天，真是在“谋杀”我的背啊（我的背都快累死了）。 [02:23.61]Don't go on the London underground during the rush hour, it's murder.
在高峰期间坐伦敦地铁简直是在谋杀。(别在高峰期间坐伦敦地铁，太可怕了。) [02:28.57]the English we speak
——地道英语—— [02:31.23]So by saying "it's murder" he means it's awful. It's terrible. Anyway Helen, now we know there's not been a real murder, I think we should tell these policemen to go home now.
所以"it's murder"的意思是这太可怕了，太糟糕了。好了，海伦，我们现在知道没有发生真正的谋杀了，我认为我们应该让这些警察回去了。 [02:42.93]Good idea. Excuse me, there's been a terrible misunderstanding. There's not been a murder so you can all go home.
好主意。抱歉打扰了，天大的误会。这并没有发生谋杀案，你们可以回去了。 [02:52.33]Oh right. So we've been wasting our time then? But hold on, I think there might be another murder soon.
哦，好吧。所以我们是在浪费时间吗？不过再等等，我想很快会就有另一起谋杀了。 [03:00.10]Oh, why's that?
哦？为什么? [03:02.37]Well, I could murder a cup of tea.
嗯，我可以“谋杀”杯茶吗。（真想喝杯茶。） [03:05.42]Of course.
哦，可以，当然啦。 [03:08.45]I'll put the kettle on. Bye.
好吧，我去烧水。拜拜。 [03:10.60]Bye.
拜拜。 [03:12.30]Policeman: Milk, two sugars please!
警察：牛奶，两块糖，麻烦了!
