地道英语：俗气和炫耀的

　　Lairy

　　俗气和炫耀的

　　Neil: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English, Im Neil.

　　Li: 我是杨莉。大家好。 Did you stay much longer last night at the office party?

　　Neil: Yes I did. After you left we went on to a bar in the City.

　　Li: Oh sounds good! 昨天晚上我们办公室里有聚会活动，我早早地离开了，但是 Neil 和其他几个同事接着又去伦敦金融城的酒吧了。 How was it?

　　Neil: Actually it was pretty bad. There were all these traders getting drunk and shouting a lot about their cars and expensive clothes and holidays. You know, they were just really lairy.

　　Li: They were what?

　　Neil: Lairy.

　　Li: Lairy. 这个形容词一般用来描述男子，特别是那些情绪激动，俗气炫耀的男子，而且有的时候无理取闹。So it wasnt much fun?

　　Neil: No, they made it miserable for everyone else in the place, to be honest.

　　Li: 他说，酒吧里全都是交易商，下班后去酒吧里喝个痛快，喝得醉醺醺，然后口若悬河，争先恐后地炫耀自己的值钱宝贝。 They sound very lairy. 我们再听一组例句。

　　A: Shall we go shopping in Kensington on Saturday afternoon?

　　B: Id love to but I hate getting the Tube to Kensington on a Saturday. Its always full of lairy Chelsea fans on their way to the football.

　　A: Yes, youre right. Its really scary when theyre so drunk and shouting and singing. How about somewhere else?

　　Li: 这些女子不想在星期六这天，也就是有足球赛的这天，到切尔希足球俱乐部附近的地铁站附近去逛街和购物，因为有球赛那里会挤满了足球迷，他们疯喊疯叫。 Theyre lairy.

　　Neil: Yes, Ive been in that situation too. Its not much fun.

　　Li: So, this word lairy: is it common?

　　Neil: Id say its quite common, but slang. And you wouldnt often write it.

　　Li: 很常用，但它是俚语，只在口语里用，不是书面语。

　　Neil: But youll hear British and Australian people using it; especially in the situations weve talked about.

　　Li: Anything else I need to know?

　　Neil: Yes, you should use the word in combination with blokes. This is British slang meaning men.

　　Li: Lairy blokes.

　　Neil: Thats right. Thats all from us, but well leave you with the sound of lairy blokes watching football.

　　Li: 谢谢收听，再会!
