　　Its doing my head in

　　Jennifer: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. My name is Jennifer and Li is with me here in the studio.

　　Li: 大家好，我是杨莉。So what have you been doing this morning, Jen?

　　Jennifer: Well, Ive been playing on this great new game on my smartphone. Its a puzzle where you have to find matching pictures of fruit. It sounds easy, but its really addictive.

　　Li: 什么?智能手机上的水果拼图智力游戏. 我最喜欢这种让人上瘾的智力游戏了。要不要让我来试试?

　　Jennifer: Yes, you can. In fact, Im stuck on level 33. I cant complete it at all. Why dont you see if you can do it for me? Its doing my head in!

　　Li: OK, give it to me and I will see what I can do. Jen 说，这个电脑游戏 doing her head in. 意思就是很令她很沮丧，很恼火 doing your head in .

　　Jennifer: Its a phrase which is often used by young people, its a slang phrase .

　　Li: 这是个年轻人经常使用的俗语。

　　Jennifer: Lets hear some examples of how you might use it:

　　Li: 在你感到某人或某事让你受不了的时候也可以用这个短语。

　　I dont want to invite Sonia to the Christmas party. She gossips all the time. She really does my head in.

　　Li: (ignoring Jen but playing computer game) Yes! Yes!

　　Jennifer: Li, I said: doing your head in is a really useful phrase.

　　Li: (still playing the game) Hang on... If I can just match these pictures... Yes! Level 34!
