John: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm John.
Feifei: And I'm Feifei.
John: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
Feifei: 在我們的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目中，我們將學(xué)到一些現(xiàn)代英式英語(yǔ)的新詞匯和新說(shuō)法。
John: Today's new phrase is 'veg out'.
Feifei: Veg out? I don’t think I’ve heard of that one before. What does it mean?
John: Well, to veg out is to relax and spend time doing very little.
Feifei: 原來(lái)，就是休閑放松，悠閑逍遙，什么也不做的意思吧?
John: Yes, so normally after a long day at work, you'd go home and just veg out. We can also use it to describe people who always try to relax and not do much at all.
Feifei: 我明白了， 'veg out' 除了可以表達(dá)在一天緊張的工作后回家休閑放松的意思之外，還可以用來(lái)形容那些一天到晚什么都不做，逍遙自在享受生活的人。 So it could be a bit negative?
John: It could be, but we don’t often see people who just 'veg out' all the time.
Examples
A: What did you do last night after badminton?
B: Oh, I was exhausted by the time I got home, so I just vegged out.
A: What has James been doing?
B: Not much, he's just been vegging out.
John: So, what are you going to do tonight then Feifei?
Feifei: I don't know, I think I will probably just go home and veg out in front of the TV. What about you?
John: I'd love to go home and just veg out as well, but I've got to do the shopping.
Feifei: 好啦，讓我們來(lái)回顧一下今天學(xué)到的新詞吧 – veg out – 就是放松松弛、什么也不做。
