大家好,欢迎收听《地道英语》。我是冯菲菲。
Neil
And I’m Neil. Feifei – what do you think of my new phone?
Feifei
又换了部手机?我看看。怎么看上去怪怪的?
Neil
It’s great. This guy sold it to me. He said it was a top-secret new model – it’s not been released in the shops yet. Here, look…
Feifei
怎么开机?
Neil
You just… err… oh, hang on, it’s frozen. Let me just… no.
Feifei
你刚才说这手机是从哪儿买的?
Neil
A guy on the street.
Feifei
I hate to say it Neil, but I think he pulled a fast one on you!
Neil
But he… oh no.
Feifei
Sorry. 英语表达 pull a fast one 的意思“成功地欺骗”。我们可以说 pull a fast one on someone或 pull a fast one with someone,意思都是“成功地欺骗耍弄一个人,使一个人上当受骗”。比如,Neil 的那部新手机是假货,他完全的上当了。The phone seller pulled a fast one on Neil. 咱们再来听两个例句。
Examples
The shopkeeper tried to pull a fast one on me. He gave me a £5 note as change instead of a £20 note.
Don’t you try and pull a fast one with me! I know you’re not really sick. Get back to work!
Neil
So, that’s it. All that money wasted. What an idiot. Oh, is that my phone?
Feifei
Sorry, it’s mine. Hello? Yes… No, I don’t think so… Thanks!
Neil
Who was it?
Feifei
The guy called to say I’ve won a million pounds. All I have to do is give him my bank details and he’ll pay me.
Neil
Someone else trying to pull a fast one!
Feifei
Sadly, yes! I could do with a million pounds though. I’d even buy you a new phone, Neil.
Neil
You’re too kind.
Feifei
好了,本期节目就到这里。谢谢收听,下次再会。
Neil
Bye.
