地道英语：你想要什么？

　　After

　　(Sounds of a crowded bar)

　　Yang Li: Hi, and welcome to Authentic Real English, with me Yang Li. 我现在在一家非常拥挤的酒吧里，排着队等着点酒。

　　Barman: (Shouting) Whos next please?

　　Drinkers: Me, me, me...

　　Barman: OK you...

　　Drinker: Could I have a gin and tonic please...

　　Barman: Thatll be 3.60. OK...

　　Yang Li: Oh, I think Im next...

　　Barman: Hi, are you next?

　　Yang Li: Yes, yes, its me now...

　　Barman: What are you after?

　　Yang Li: What am I after? No, its my turn now, thank you...

　　Barman: OK, I know that. What are you after?

　　Yang Li: Im after... eh? Im after... the person before me?

　　Barman: Dont try to be funny. What are you after?

　　Yang Li: Sorry barman, Im really confused - 嘿，等一下，等一下... 我认识你! 你可不是酒吧服务员啊。Arent you our presenter, Finn?

　　Barman: Yes, 就是我。Just earning a little extra money!

　　Yang Li: I thought so! Very nice bar you have here. 好了，我们的《地道英语》节目一般都是针对一个俚语说讲解析。So, why do you keep asking me what Im after?

　　Barman: OK, Ill be quick - there are customers waiting! Todays expression is indeed after. When you say youre after something, it means you want it, especially in situations like shopping, or when buying things. Like this:

　　A: Im after a pair of formal leather shoes.

　　B: Come this way sir. We have a great selection.

　　A: Hello, what are you after?

　　B: Id like a glass of white wine please.

　　Yang Li: OK, I get it now! Im after a pint of ale, please.

　　Barman: Of course, Li. This ones on the house! Shh... just dont tell the boss.

　　Yang Li: Cheers Finn (drinks).

　　Barman: While Li is drinking, let me tell you - if youre after more English slang expressions - keep listening to Authentic Real English 地道英语 and check out our website bbclearningenglish.com.
