(单词翻译:单击)

Wang Fei: Welcome to the Authentic Real English motorbike! I'm Wang Fei.

Finn: And I'm Finn!

Wang Fei: Finn's decided to take us out for a ride today and he's driving now.
Finn决定今天带我们出去兜风,他正在开车。

Finn: I am yes, I'm driving. I thought it would be good to get out of the studio. Wow! Look at all the beautiful green fields around us, Wang Fei.
是的,我开车。我想走出摄影室出去溜溜。哇!看看那些环绕在我们周围的绿地,王菲。

Wang Fei: Beautiful 并且 green 也就是我们今天的关键词是不是?

Although this motorbike is green, the driver is not green at riding.
虽然这两摩托车是初次上路,但骑摩托的人并不是新手。

Finn: 是啊!Yes, it is.

Wang Fei: A bit easy, isn't it? 谁不知道 green 的意思就是绿色的呢?!

Finn: It's not that meaning, Wang Fei!

Wang Fei: Well, what do you mean, green as in good for the environment? 你是指绿色环保的意思,是不是?

Finn: 也不是呢!Not that one either!

Wang Fei: 我还知道一个表达,green with envy? 也就是说“眼红、嫉妒”的意思。Green with envy?

Finn: No. What are you envious about? No, it's not that one… ah hang on, oh no!

Both: Ow!

Wang Fei: Finn, you're a terrible terrible driver!

Finn: I know.

Wang Fei: 你是想说哪个 green 呢?!

Finn: Yes, I'm sorry, Wang Fei. What I mean is I'm very green at riding motorbikes. That's what I wanted to say. Green means inexperienced or new to something.

Wang Fei: 你算是说对了!Finn 说 he is green at riding motorbikes. 意思是说他是新手上路、没有经验。这里的 green 通常是说某人的技术或者工作不成熟、缺乏经验。我们摔得够呛,你这车技也太 green 了。我们先听几个别的例子吧。

Examples

I'm a bit green at video editing, so it takes me a long time to edit things.
编辑视频我是生手,那花去了我很长时间去编辑。

He's a bit green in this job so he's bound to need some help.
他做这个工作有点生疏,所以他肯定需要帮忙。

My uncle's very green at searching the internet. He prefers to go to the library.
我伯伯用internet网搜索东西很生疏,他宁愿去图书馆。

Wang Fei: Finn is definitely green at riding motorbikes… 我们也该上路了,但是说实在的,我还是觉得心里不踏实。

FX - BIKE STARTS

Finn: Wow, what beautiful countryside…

Wang Fei: Yes beautiful! 不过我觉得自己好像也要病了。我真担心我们要再次撞车。

Finn: Wang Fei, are you ok?

Wang Fei: Not really.

Finn: You've gone green!

Wang Fei: What?!

Finn: You've gone green – it means you look ill!

Wang Fei: 又一个关于 green 的表达,意思是说看上去脸色发青、病了的意思。他倒说对了!Finn, 我们先别解释了,你还是集中注意力开车吧。Just concentrate on driving please!

Finn: Ok then! Bye everyone…

Wang Fei: Wish me luck. Bye.
