John: Hello there, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm John.
You could get into trouble for being lippy!
Feifei: And I'm Feifei.
John: The English language is changing all the time, and Real English is your chance to hear the most up-to-date words and phrases that you probably won't find in your dictionary.
Feifei: 今天我們要學(xué)習(xí)的詞是 lippy，如果你對一個人總是很 lippy 的話，意思就是說你這個人總是頂嘴。Lippy 愛頂嘴的, 出言不遜的。
John: If you talk back to a teacher, or if you are rude to them, then you might be accused to being lippy. The word derives from the lips where you form your words.
Feifei: John, have you been lippy to anyone?
John: I think I used to be quite lippy when I was at school. I was always saying things back to the teacher when I wasn't supposed to.
Feifei: But you're not too lippy these days?
John: Well, I can't afford to be lippy with my boss at work, I might lose my job!
Feifei: 原來 John 是怕被炒魷魚呀！我們來聽聽下面的對話是怎么說的。
Insert
A: I've already told you not to be rude.
B: Yeah yeah, you're not so polite yourself!
A: You're really lippy!

Feifei: 上面我們聽到的就是一個非常典型的和上級頂嘴的對話。Lippy 愛頂嘴的。John, being lippy could get you into lots of trouble, couldn't it?
