What's on the box tonight?
對(duì) 話來(lái)源:考試大網(wǎng)
Gary: This bar's a bit boring, isn't it?
Julian: Yes, not a lot going on at all. Like the grave in fact.
Gary: What's on the box tonight?
Julian: I think the Manchester United vs. Real Madrid match is on at 9: 00pm.
Gary: Great! Let's go to my place and watch it.
Julian: Fabulous. I'll buy the beer on the way.
加里：這酒吧不是有點(diǎn)沉悶嗎？
朱利安：不錯(cuò)，完全沒(méi)什么有趣的東西，像墳?zāi)挂粯印?BR> 加里：今晚電視有什么節(jié)目？
朱利安：今晚九點(diǎn)鐘應(yīng)是播映曼聯(lián)對(duì)皇家馬德里的球賽。
加里：這可精采，去我家里看吧。
朱利安：好得很，路上我買(mǎi)啤酒，看電視時(shí)喝。
‘電視’英文除了叫television以及簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)為T(mén)V/teevee和telly，俗語(yǔ)還稱(chēng)為the box、goggle-box、idiot box、the tube、boob tube等。Tube本是‘管子’，電視機(jī)有陰極射線管(cathode-ray tube)，所以叫the tube。Goggle是‘睜大眼睛看’，例如：He goggled at the beautiful girl（他瞪著那美麗的女郎）。Idiot則是‘傻瓜’，boob是‘傻瓜’的俗稱(chēng)，所以idiot box和boob tube都有貶義。I watched the soccer game on the boob tube即‘我在電視上看足球賽’。 問(wèn)電視播映什么節(jié)目，你可以說(shuō)What's on TV/the box/the tube tonight?（今晚電視播映什么？）或Is there anything (good/worth watching) on the telly this evening?（今晚電視有好節(jié)目嗎？）等。問(wèn)下一個(gè)節(jié)目是什么，英文是：What comes on next?/What's on after this?問(wèn)一個(gè)節(jié)目什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始，則可以說(shuō)：What time does it start?問(wèn)某電視臺(tái)播映什么，可說(shuō)：What's on Channel X?
要知道電視播映什么，是看電視節(jié)目表，這英文叫TV listing/schedule；較詳細(xì)并附說(shuō)明的電視節(jié)目指南，叫TV guide，例如：(1) Let's look in the TV guide to see if there's anything good（我們看看電視指南，看有沒(méi)有什么好節(jié)目）。(2) The TV listing says there is a documentary about elephants at 8:30pm（看電視節(jié)目表，今晚八點(diǎn)半有一部大象紀(jì)錄片）。假如電視上沒(méi)有什么好看，你可以說(shuō)：There's nothing good/worth seeing on TV just now。
