地道英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)學(xué)習(xí):Posh 優(yōu)雅的
Jo: I'm Jo and this is Real English from BBC Learning English.
Oliver: 大家好，我是Oliver，地道英語(yǔ)和大家一起學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代英式英語(yǔ)中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和實(shí)用表達(dá)。這些詞兒和短語(yǔ)都是現(xiàn)在英國(guó)人當(dāng)中非常流行的。So what's today's word Jo?
Jo: Well today's word is posh. P.O.S.H. posh.
Oliver: 嗯，Jo，我覺得我知道這個(gè)詞兒，posh，它好像是前辣妹合唱團(tuán)中的成員，球星貝克漢姆的妻子的昵稱吧.
Jo: Oh very good Oliver. Yes David Beckham's wife Victoria also has the nickname Posh.
Oliver: 這個(gè)詞兒是用來說優(yōu)雅的人的嗎？比如有些上流社會(huì)的人，十分富有、衣著華麗、彬彬有禮、周旋在各種時(shí)尚社交場(chǎng)合什么的。
Jo: That's right Oliver. So people who are rich, with nice clothes, who speak nicely and have good manners and might be called posh. We might also call someone posh as a joke.
Oliver: 你是指，說什么人 posh也可能是開玩笑的。比如說，你的一個(gè)朋友，開始喝很貴的葡萄酒，那你就可以拿他開玩笑說：
Jo: You're getting a bit posh aren't you?
Oliver: 在這個(gè)時(shí)候，posh就不是真的優(yōu)雅的意思了，而是假高貴的意思了。一般來說，人們更喜歡用在評(píng)論什么人的時(shí)候，而很少當(dāng)面說別人，除非像剛才我們聽到的那樣是開玩笑。

Oliver: 是嗎？哦，那可是真要謝謝你! Actually I am going out to a nice restaurant – in fact you could probably say a posh restaurant - with my friends tonight!
Jo: Well you look very smart. I don't often see you looking so posh!
Oliver: 那你就是說我平時(shí)看起來不怎么樣啦!好了，不開玩笑了，還是看看我們今天學(xué)到的詞兒吧 posh – 優(yōu)雅的。
