Feifei

Plates… OK. Spoons… all packed. That's one box full. The kitchen is finished, Neil!

Neil

All packed? Well done. Now let's move on to the bedroom.

Feifei

OK, I'm exhausted. 欢迎收听《地道英语》，我是冯菲菲。在本期节目里，Neil 和我得边收拾边录制节目，因为我们要准备搬家。The house is full of cardboard boxes!

Neil

I know, I know, Feifei. Listen, let's just finish this room and then we can sit down, relax and see what's on the box.

Feifei

Neil, the last thing I want is to look at any more boxes! I need a break.

Neil

Oh, of course. What I meant was: see what's on TV! 'On the box' is a slang expression meaning 'on TV'.

Feifei

在英语里，on the box 和 on TV 的意思完全一样，都表示“在电视上播出的节目”。Anyway, let's listen to some examples while we finish packing.

Neil

Good idea.

Examples

A: See anything good on the box last night?

B: Yeah! There was this great new series about spies.

A: What are you up to tonight?

B: Not much, just gonna relax in front of the box.

Neil

Yes, you can also relax 'in front of the box', which means in front of the television. And which reminds me, Feifei - where is the box, I mean, our TV?

Feifei

Oh, yes. I've packed it already. But I don't remember which box I put it in.

Neil

You mean the box is in a box? But we've packed 20 boxes already. Which one is it?

Feifei

Oh, sorry! Let's just finish packing and then go out for dinner.

Neil

Yeah, I've had enough of these boxes, too. Bye.

Feifei

Bye!
