William: Hi I'm William and welcome to Authentic Real English. Feifei: Ahhh… William: Feifei? Feifei: Don't you think Brad Pitt is lovely? William: Brad Pitt? Feifei: Yes he's tall, handsome… and of course an amazing actor. William: Yeah and I'm sure he's worth a few bob too. Feifei: A few bob? William: Yeah I think Brad Pitt is worth a lot of money. Feifei: So a few bob means a large amount of money? William: Well a few bob actually means a small amount of money but it's usually used in an ironic way, to mean a lot of money. Feifei: A few bob 的意思就是一点儿钱。通常使用这个短语时都带有讽刺的意味，表示很多钱。 William: Here are some examples. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: She's has got the brand new phone I want! B: Yeah and look at that designer handbag, she definitely looks like she's got a few bob. A: Did you see John's new car? B: Yes it's amazing! He's definitely not short of a few bob. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- William: In that last example the speaker said not short of a few bob. Feifei: Not short of a few bob 的意思就是他非常富有。 William: Sometimes instead of saying a few bob people will say a bob or two. Feifei: 有时候我们也可以说 a bob or two 来表示 a few bob. I definitely think Brad Pitt is worth a bob or two. William: Feifei, I think you're getting obsessed with Brad Pitt! Feifei: I'm not obsessed 痴迷的！ I just think he's a very good actor! William: Yeah yeah yeah! Anyway back to today's phrase, here is an example using the phrase a bob or two. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A: Did you sell your old furniture? B. Not yet, but I'm hoping to make a bob or two out of it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feifei: So William, are you worth a bob or two? William: I couldn't possibly answer that Feifei! |
