Callum

Oh, hello, . Already here to present Authentic Real English?

你这是什么意思？What do you mean by 'already here', Callum?! And what are all these bags you have with you?

Callum

Shopping.

你还有时间购物？I'm here in the studio, waiting for you and you went shopping. This is absurd.

Callum

Oh, come on, , we still have a couple of minutes to go. Don't be such a drama queen!

Drama queen 戏剧女王？

Callum

Yes, drama queen. In English, we say someone is a drama queen if he or she becomes very angry or upset over small things like… 

Like you being late. 原来在英语里，我们用表达 drama queen 来形容一个小题大做的人，反应激烈夸张的人。

Callum

… like in these examples we are going to hear now.

Examples

A: Oh, it's raining and my new hairdo is ruined! All those hours in the hairdresser for nothing!

B: Don't be such a drama queen. Here, take my umbrella.

I'm not dining out with Peter anymore. If the dish is not cooked exactly the way he likes he makes a big fuss. He's such a drama queen!

Callum

That's it, . And now, here, in my bag…

你这又是干什么？不会又要开始收拾东西了吧？

Callum

This is for you, !

啊，给我买的礼物？A present for me? Oh, you shouldn't have.

Callum

You didn't want people to know it's your birthday, but… well, happy birthday, !

Ohhh! I don't know what to say. I guess I'll have to take back my words. Thank you, Callum. You know what? We can make the programme a bit later. Let's celebrate!

Both

Bye!
