我们昨晚举行了办公室聚会。 我走得早但是Neil和一些同事去了伦敦城的一个商业街区继续玩儿。 玩得开心吗?
Neil: Actually it was pretty bad. There were all these traders getting drunk and shouting a lot about their cars and expensive clothes and holidays. You know, they were just really lairy.
事实上很糟糕啦。 里面满是醉醺醺的生意人,大声炫耀着他们的私家车和昂贵的衣服以及假期。 你知道的,他们好lairy 。
Li: They were what?
他们好什么?

So it wasnt much fun?
也就是说并不好玩咯?
Neil: No, they made it miserable for everyone else in the place, to be honest.
嗯,老实说他们让整个场子的人都活受罪。
Li: So the bar was full of drunk and noisy men. They were talking loudly about their expensive things. They sound very lairy.
也就是整个酒吧都是吵个不停的醉汉。 他们在大声卖弄自己的奢侈物。 听起来非常俗气和刺耳。
Heres another example of the word.
这里是这个词的另外一个例子:
A: Shall we go shopping in Kensington on Saturday afternoon?
周六下午去Kensington 买东西吗?
B: Id love to but I hate getting the Tube to Kensington on a Saturday. Its always full of lairy Chelsea fans on their way to the football.
倒是想去啦但是我讨厌在周六下午搭去Kensington 的地铁。 上面总是会有很多吵死人的Chelsea迷去看足球。
A: Yes, youre right. Its really scary when theyre so drunk and shouting and singing. How about somewhere else?
没错啦! 当他们喝高了又是吵又是唱的,真的很可怕! 换个地方怎么样呢?
Neil: Those women dont want to get the Tube near the Chelsea football ground on a Saturday because the fans travelling to the stadium are often drunk and shouting and singing. Theyre lairy.
这几位女士不愿意在周六乘坐靠近 Chelsea 的地铁时因为上面老是有要去体育场看球赛的醉醺醺地又吵又唱的球迷。 他们很吵得人很烦。
Li: Yes, Ive been in that situation too. Its not much fun. So, this word lairy: is it common?
我曾经也有过这样的经历。 可不好玩! 哦,lairy这个词常见吗?
Neil: Id say its quite common, but slang. And you wouldnt often write it. But youll hear British and Australian people using it; especially in the situations weve talked about.
我得说很常见但是很是个俚语。 通常很少在书面上见到。 但是你会听到英国或是澳大利亚人用这个词。特别是用于我们以上所提的这种情景。
Li: Anything else I need to know? Neil: Yes, you should use the word in combination with blokes. This is British slang meaning men.
还有什么我应该知道的吗? 是的,通常情况下应该把这个单词跟bloke(伙计;小伙子)连用。 bloke是英式俚语,指的是男人 。
Li: Lairy blokes.
Lairy blokes(又吵又爱炫的家伙)。
Neil: Thats right. Thats all from us. Li: Bye! Neil: Bye! (Angry football crowd.
