　　Yang Li: 什么，你说你周末的聚会 went down a storm ...因为暴风雨天气而被取消了?是刮风，下雨，还是下雪?天气不作美，的确很令人扫兴。Was the weather bad?

　　Kaz: No, no, Li. If something goes down a storm it means its massively successful and enjoyable - my party went really well - it went down a storm.

　　Yang Li: 什么，大家都很开心?

　　Kaz: Exactly. People loved my party so I can say It went down a storm.

　　Yang Li: Kaz 你知道吗，我昨天作了一个讲座。

　　Kaz: OK Li. How did it go?

　　Yang Li: 不错，每个人反应都很好 my presentation went down a storm.

　　Kaz: Thats terrific Li! Well done!

　　Yang Li: 谢谢你 Kaz, 丰富了我的词汇库我很喜欢今天的这个短语。下面我们再来听几个例句:

　　You should have seen the new band last night. They went down a storm with the audience.

　　My idea for more holidays went down a storm with my colleagues.

　　I like the looks of this new toy. Im sure itll go down a storm with our customers.

　　Yang Li: Kaz 你知道吗，英语单词 storm 的原意是风暴所以很容易让人有负面联想。 Storms are usually destructive arent they?

　　Kaz: I agree Li but in this case the word storm is used in a positive sense.

　　Yang Li: Kaz 说这个短语完全是褒义的，意思就是深受欢迎。不过这是个非正式短语对吧? To go down a storm is informal English is that right ?

　　Kaz: It is.

　　Yang Li: 所以大家在使用这个短语的时候要特别注意。

　　Kaz: Thats right Li. So what do you think our listeners will think of todays expression?

　　Yang Li: Undoubtedly, Im sure itll go down a storm!

　　Both: Bye!
