Helen: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

Chen Li: 英語是一種非常程式化的語行，所以懂得現實生涯中人們經常应用的牢固表達跟俚語天然便很有效了。

Helen: So today’s word is jab J.A.B. – jab.

Chen Li: 它的意思是否是碰，敲打？似乎拳擊運動中的斗殴。

Helen: Yes it does mean that, but it is also an informal word for an injection.

Chen Li: jab 是打针劑的非正式用法.

Helen: So you might go to the doctors to get a jab.

Chen Li: 我念假如你往外洋游览，you might need to get some jabs.

Helen: That's right and here’s another example.

B: Oh I’m just a bit nervous. I have to go to the doctors for a jab. I hate getting jabs..

Helen: Aw, I hate getting jabs too. I’m really scared of needles.

Chen Li: 你实的那麼惧怕針頭？

Helen: Yes I am but you’ve got to agree, it’s not very nice having jabs.

Chen Li: Well, no, it’s not very nice but I don’t mind having jabs at the doctors.

Helen: You’re so brave Li!

Chen Li: 您是正在諷刺我嗎？

Helen: No, no, no, not at all. Anyway let’s just re-cap. Today’s word is – jab.
