The English We Speak是英国BBC电台为英语学习者量身打造的一档英语学习节目。
今天,主持人Li似乎有些不太正常。让我们跟随录音去了解一下。

Finn: Welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Finn.
Li: (Very happy) And I'm Yang Li...
Finn: How are you today, Li?
Li: (Dreamy, romantic voice) Oh fantastic. Just great. Amazing...
Finn: Really? Great… OK. Are you ready to start the programme?
Li: (Dreamy, romantic voice) Any time...Isn't life wonderful?
Finn: Are you sure you're alright?
Li: Perfect. He's lovely, isn't he? He's perfect!
Finn: Oh, I see! You're talking about your new boyfriend. You're so loved up right now, Li!
Li: But he has the most beautiful eyes and smile. And when he dances...
Finn: Li! (To audience) Well, I think Li is completely loved up - which is our phrase for the day. When you're loved up, it means you are really happy because you're in love.
Li: He dances like a dream, especially salsa...
Finn: You know, I think I'm going to have to present the rest of this programme on my own. As you can see, when you're loved up, sometimes you don't pay a lot of attention to things around you.
例1:
She's so loved up at the moment. She even forgets to eat lunch.
Finn: It can also be used to describe a couple who are very much in love, and who openly show their affection in public.
例2:
They're always together; holding hands, laughing. They seem so happy. They're really loved up!
Finn: Li, Li...Li, how long have you been in love? Hello?!
Li: Ooh, I'm going salsa dancing tonight with him, and I can't wait. Oh, he's so gorgeous. Don't you think, Finn? Finn: Yes, sure, he's so gorgeous. Anyway, I'm getting a bit lonely here. Maybe I should take up salsa dancing too? OK, bye for now everyone! Li, time to say goodbye.
Li: Oh yeah, goodbye, bye, bye!

赏析:
爱,让人沉醉。
爱情,能给你彻彻底底的变化。节目中的主持人Li因为迷恋她新男朋友的舞姿,让录节目的时候都魂不守舍。对于这种情况,我们可以说:She’s completely loved up. 即坠入爱河而别的事漠不关心了。比如例1中的女孩都“忘食”了。
Loved up还可以用在两个人之间,形容一对情侣处在热恋之中,形影不离,如例2。
七夕刚刚过去,不知道在您身上有没有发生什么罗曼蒂克的邂逅,Are you loved up?
其他语言点:
Gorgeous:美丽的 ,美妙的
