John: Hello, welcome to Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm John.
Helen: And I'm Helen.
John: Today we're going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Helen: 地道英語和大家一起學(xué)習(xí)現(xiàn)代英式英語中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的流行詞匯和實用表達。那 John,今天你給我們帶來的新詞是什么呢？
John: Today's phrase is airhead.
Helen: 我們今天的新詞是 airhead 空氣頭. Any idea what it means John?
John: Of course I do, I use it all the time, in fact sometimes I'm a bit of an airhead. It means to be a stupid or unaware person.
Helen: 嗯，airhead. 這個詞的真正意思是指那些腦袋空空如也的傻瓜蛋, John 當(dāng)然不是這樣人了。這個詞還有其它含義嗎？
John: The term implies there is nothing in a person's head except air.
Helen: 嗯，很容易理解，有些人很苯，一無所知，真的好象腦子里除了空氣之外，其它什么都沒了。
John: Here's an example.

A: Has Roger done all that paperwork?
B: No, I think he's forgotten again.
A: Again? Really, that man’s an airhead!
Helen: 你還可以在 airhead 這個詞前面加點其它詞更加突出傻瓜的無知。
John: He's a total airhead!
Helen: 他完全是一個沒頭腦的傻瓜。
John: He's a complete airhead.
Helen: 或者你可以對某人的無知表示驚嘆。
