大家好，欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的《》节目。我是冯菲菲，还有和我一起主持节目的 Neil。

Neil

Hello there.

Err Neil, what are you doing sitting down?

Neil

Presenting this programme, like we always do – sitting in a chair.

我猜 Neil 一定不知道我们要站着录节目的新规定，所以才坐在那里的。No more sitting down, standing up is better for you!

Neil

Oh right. I'll stand up then, if I have to.  

Oh, no drinking coffee in the studio - health and safety. 哎，上次开会的时候讲到了最新的工作健康和安全规定，但 Neil 没参加会。You are clearly out of the loop.

Neil

What? There's a loop I have to stand in now?

No Neil. You missed our meeting where we discussed the new healthy working policy, and now you're out of the loop，毫不知情、搞不清状况。It means you don't have or are not aware of the knowledge a particular group of people do have. In other words, you've missed out on something.

Neil

Aww, I hate missing out on things. We'd better hear some examples so I can be 'in the loop' about this English phrase.

Examples

I've been out of the loop since I went on holiday. I didn't know Geeta and Bilal had got engaged!

They kept me out of the loop so it was a shock to discover that they were moving our sales team to Birmingham!

Please keep me in the loop if you have any more discussions about the building work. Thanks!

这里是 BBC 英语教学的《》节目。本集节目中给大家介绍的说法是“out of the loop”，注意它属于非正式用语，我们用它来描述“不了解、不知道某圈子内的最新消息和状况”。和它的含义相反的说法是“in the loop 消息灵通的，圈内的”。But Neil, you're out of the loop.

Neil

Yes, you've made that clear. I missed the meeting and don't know about this stupid 'healthy working policy'.

Where were you anyway?

Neil

Down at the cafe, having a big fry-up. Eggs, bacon, sausages. Mmm, delicious.

吃这么多油炸食品，也太不健康了！That's got to stop. Come on, Neil.

Neil

Where are we going?

We're going for a lunchtime run with the rest of the team. It's part of our new healthy working policy!

Neil

Urghh – I think I'd rather stay out of the loop from now on.

Bye!

Neil

Bye!
