Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.
Helen: And I'm Helen. 迎收聽 BBC 的地道英語節(jié)目,希望在接下來的兩分鐘里,你能學(xué)到英式英語中常用的一些表達(dá)方式。Jo, 你先說吧。
Jo: Today's word is cocky. C.O.C.K.Y. Cocky.
Helen: 那這是什么意思呢?
Jo: Well a cocky person is someone who is very self-confident and perhaps a little arrogant.
Helen: Ah, 這個(gè)詞是來形容一個(gè)非常自信,有點(diǎn)自高自大的人,cocky.
Jo: It's quite an informal word used in a disapproving way.
Helen: 這也是一個(gè)非正式表達(dá),而且還帶有一點(diǎn)負(fù)面的意識,所以別用 cocky 來描繪自己是個(gè)充滿自信的人。
Jo: So for example, someone you work with might think they know everything really well and make you feel less important because you don't know how to do certain things.
Helen: 你的意思是說在公司經(jīng)常會有那種自認(rèn)為什么都懂,比其他人都能干的人。

Helen: 哦,是嗎? 這么說你的中文現(xiàn)在是突飛猛進(jìn),看來過不了多久,你就可以獨(dú)立做這個(gè)節(jié)目了。
