靠边站!
Rob: Hello and welcome to the English We Speak. Im Rob.
Helen: 大家好,我是Helen. 今天我们准备到美丽的英国乡村走一走,感受一下田园风光。Isnt the countryside wonderful Rob?
Rob: Mmmm, yes, smell the fresh air. Listen to the birds. Its great to be outdoors!
Helen: Oh, well it wasbut not now its raining. 怎么下雨了! Come on Rob I think we should head back.
Rob: Hold on Helen. Not that way! According to the map, its this way
Helen: Rob, youre always wrong. Just follow me but hurry up were getting wet.
Rob: Oh, get lost!
Helen: Get lost? 迷失方向 让我自己迷路? But Rob, we are lost!
Rob: No Helen get lost I mean go away. Dont tell me the way to go.
Helen: Oh! 对人说 get lost 在英语里是你靠边站,不要来烦我的意思。Thats not a very nice thing to say.
Rob: Well, its what you can say to someone if theyre really annoying you. So go away, get lost so I cant find you!
Helen: Hmm, 原来Rob 让我自己迷路 get lost 是他嫌我啰嗦。他想让我从眼前消失! 那我就自己找路,没什么大不了的。 Im off. See you back at the car!
Rob: Ill get there first! OK, here are some other examples of using get lost:
Im tired of hearing about how you know everything, just get lost.
Get lost! Im having a break so dont disturb me.
You say you climbed Mount Everest on your own?! Get lost, I dont believe you.
Rob: Mmm, saying get lost is quite impolite so you need to be careful how you say it and who you say it to. Maybe I was a bit rude to Helen. Helen, Helen, come backI didnt mean to be so rude.
Helen: well you werent being very nice. 对人说 get lost 其实是很不礼貌,所以你需要特别小心这句话的场合和对象。 Anyway Rob, I was going to come back and find you.
Rob: And why was that Helen?
Helen: Because I got lost. 我真的迷路了!I needed the map!
Rob: Ha. Well, here it is. Come on follow me.
Helen: OK Rob. See you next time.
Both: Bye.
Rob: Right, its definitely this way.
Helen: Are you sure?
Rob: Yes, thats what the map says.
Helen: Rob youve got the map upside down!
