Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil.
Helen: And I'm Helen.
Neil: This is the programme in which we 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(shí)用表達(dá)。What word are we going to learn today, Neil?
Neil: Today’s word is creep.
Helen: Yes, creep.
Neil: C-R-E-E-P, creep.
Helen: What does it mean?
Neil: Well, a creep is a person who tries to make someone who’s important like them.
Helen: Ah, I see, a creep 就是那些向上級(jí)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)拍馬*的人。
Neil: So, for example if you always offer to make your boss a coffee…
Helen: Yes, that makes you a creep. 如果有人不斷的為領(lǐng)導(dǎo)做好事兒，獻(xiàn)殷勤，那這人就是 a creep.

A: Why did you agree with old Mr Smith in that meeting?
B: What do you mean?
A: Well you told me you thought his new management plan was a terrible idea. You’re such a creep. I know you’re just after a promotion!
Helen: What a creep!
Neil: Yes, he agreed with his boss’s plans just to make himself more popular.
Helen: So creep is a negative word. 這個(gè)詞絕對(duì)是一個(gè)貶義詞。
Neil: Yes, people don’t really like creeps.
Helen: Is it rude?把商務(wù)英語頁面加入收藏夾
Neil: Well it’s not really rude, but it’s not very nice to call someone a creep either… unless, of course, you’re joking.
Helen: 在什么情況下用這個(gè)詞，大家需要注意，偶爾開開玩笑還是可以用的。Does creep have any other meanings?
Neil: Yes, you might hear women saying that a man is a creep if he’s giving them attention they don’t really want.
Helen: Creep 還有另外一個(gè)含義，就是指那些令女孩討厭，但是又不停向她們獻(xiàn)殷勤的男人，that’s a creep too.
Neil: Well, that’s all we have time for today, Helen.
Helen: Yes we’d better finish, I’ve offered to do a bit of shopping for the boss.
Neil: Helen, you’re such a creep!
Helen: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Neil: See you next time.
