I wasnt born yesterday
Feifei: 大家好,欢迎收听《地道英语》。我是冯菲菲。每次都一样,我坐在录音间等 Neil, 他从来就没准时过。今天我得故意惹惹他,以解我心头之愤!对了,他还忘了昨天是我的生日呢。
Neil: Hi there, sorry, Im late. Welcome to Authentic Real English, Im Neil and with me today is Feifei.
Feifei: Ive done all of that.
Neil: How are you, Feifei?
Feifei: Not... good...
Neil: Oh dear. Whats the matter?
Feifei: I cant believe you forgot.
Neil: Forgot? Oh no, what have I forgotten?
Feifei: What havent you forgotten? Well, for a start, you were supposed to meet me an hour ago.
Neil: Really? I thought I was only five minutes late.
Feifei: An hour and five minutes late. Secondly, you were supposed to be dressed smartly as we are meeting that very famous guest later. 我说他今天不光是晚了一小时零五分钟,而且还穿的这么破烂,一会儿怎么去见那位重要的贵宾呢?
Neil: Famous guest?
Feifei: Yes, our very famous guest.
Neil: Whos that, then?
Feifei: How could you forget that Justin Bieber is coming in?!
Neil: What?! My hero, Justin Bieber?! Where?! When?! Hang on a minute, Justin Bieber isnt coming in. I wasnt born yesterday, Feifei.
Feifei: You werent born yesterday but I was - well, twenty-something years ago. It was my birthday! And you forgot! 在英语里,如果你想告诉某人你不相信他们说的很明显的谎话,那你就可以说 I wasnt born yesterday, 字面直译就是 我又不是昨天才出生的. 请听下面例句。
A: Did you know that I was the third man on the moon?
B: I wasnt born yesterday. Youre British and I know that no British people have walked on the moon.
A: (Radio advert) Learn Russian in 3 days with just one minutes study an hour!
B: Those adverts are so stupid! The only way to learn a language is years of hard study and practice. I wasnt born yesterday.
Feifei: So, you can say I wasnt born yesterday to show that you are not easily fooled.
Neil: And I wasnt born yesterday, so I know that Feifeis claim it was her birthday yesterday isnt true.
Feifei: No, that bit is true.
Neil: Yeah, right. As I say: I wasnt born yesterday.
Feifei: I was! I really was born yesterday. I had a party and everything. Wheres my card and present?
Neil: Youre not going to fool me.
Feifei: Argh, youre so annoying! I never forget your birthday, Neil.
Neil: I know it wasnt your birthday.
Feifei: Yes it was.
Neil: No it wasnt. I wasnt born yesterday.
