bbc地道英語口語:designer stubble 鬍子
Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil.
Helen: And I’m Helen.
Neil: This is the programme in which we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Neil: Well, not really, I just haven’t shaved for a few days.
Helen: Oh I see, so you’ve got stubble.
Neil: That’s right. Today we’re looking at the word "stubble".
Helen: So what’s the difference between a beard and stubble? Beard 和 stubble, 這兩個詞其實都和鬍子有關,但是它們之間到底有什麼區別呢?
Neil: Well, stubble is the very short beard you get if don’t shave for a few days.
Helen: Stubble 就是短鬍子,幾天不刮鬍子就會有一圈 stubble。
Insert
A: Ow, get off! Stop kissing me!
B: What’s wrong? I’m your husband!
A: Your stubble really hurts my face! Have a shave!
Neil: Can you think of any famous men who have stubble?
Helen: Well, there’s David Beckham. 貝克漢姆就經常不刮鬍子。
Neil: David Beckham’s got designer stubble.
Helen: Designer stubble? What’s designer stubble?
Neil: Some men keep their beard at a very short length all the time to be fashionable. This is called "designer stubble".
Helen: 貝克漢姆的短鬍子和一般人的鬍子還不一樣,他的是 designer stubble。他留的.是鬍鬚很短,而且他每天都得精心修剪,保持他的 stubble。
Neil: Stubble is an uncountable noun, so we say "some stubble", not "a stubble" or "stubbles".
Helen: 短鬍子是不可數名詞,所以我們可以說 "some stubble", 但不能說 "a stubble" 或者 "stubbles"。 後面沒有 "s". Does your wife like your stubble then, Neil?
Neil: Well, she likes the way it looks, but not the way it feels.
Helen: Hmm, 雖然男人們覺得留了短鬍子是時髦, 可是他們的女朋友們親他們的時候可就得受苦了。鬍子真的很扎人。
Neil: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for some more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Helen: See you next time.
