Grub 食物


Presenter/producer: Helen Hu
Helen: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Helen.
Zoe: 我是劉佳.

在今天的Real English中,我們來壆一些英語中出現的新詞兒和習慣用語

Helen: Today’s new word is ‘grub’. – G.R.U.B.

Zoe: Grub, 是什麼意思呀?

Helen: Well, it’s quite simple really. Grub is a slang or informal word for food.

Zoe: 哦,聽上去挺簡單的嘛,grub就是吃的東西

那我能說‘I buy my grub from the supermarket?’

Helen: Of course. But remember it’s informal, and generally not used in formal situations.

Zoe: 明白了,美加,grub是用在非正式的場合,給我們舉個例子吧,Helen?

Helen: Well, imagine you were in a very expensive restaurant. You wouldn’t ask ‘How is your grub?’. You’d better say ‘How’s your food?

Zoe: 但是如果我去你傢吃晚飯,就可以說‘that was lovely grub’,對嗎?

Helen: Yes, you could.

A: I’m so hungry. Have you got any grub?

B: Not much,論文翻譯. I haven’t been to the supermarket yet.

A: How was your trip to Mexico?

B: Quite good, but I didn’t really like the grub.

Zoe: What sort of grub do you like, Helen?

Helen: Oh, most types. Chinese, of course, is my favourite grub of all!

Helen: It’s true. What about you, can you cook?

Zoe: 哈哈,不會。A bit of simple grub is about all I can do

Helen: Well, I don’t know about you, but all this talk of grub is getting me hungry.

Zoe: 我也是,would you like to go for dinner?

Helen: I’d love to. Anyway, let’s recap – grub – is an informal word for food.


Zoe: 記住啊,grub就是吃的東西。Helen, 時間要到了。

Helen: Yes,聽打, we have to go. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.

Zoe: See you next time.
