    Diarmuid: Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Diarmuid. 大家好,歡迎來到BBC地道美語節(jié)目。我是圣保羅。
    Feifei: 大家好,我是馮菲菲。 Why are you looking so happy Diarmuid? 圣保羅,為什么你看上去那么開心?
    Diarmuid: Well, earlier today, I was outside on my telephone, when a lady asked me for a lighter. 嗯,今天早晨我在外面打電話,一位女士過來問我借打火機。
    Feifei: 打火機。
    Diarmuid: Yes, I think she might have been trying to smirt with me. 是的,我以為她是來問我借火的。
    Feifei: 她想和你干什么 smirt?
    Diarmuid: Yes, smirt, S.M.I.R.T, smirt. Now smirt is a slang word to describe flirting with another person when you are smoking. 這個單詞是當你們在吸煙的時候和某人調(diào)情的。
    Feifei: It sounds like smoking and flirting have been joined together to make the word smirting. 聽上去是吸煙和調(diào)情這兩個詞加在一起構(gòu)成了這個詞。
    Diarmuid: Exactly, that is how the word smirting is created. 確實是,這就是這個詞構(gòu)成。
    Feifei: 原來是這個意思,今天早上問 Diarmuid 借火的這個女孩子其實對 Diarmuid 有好感,所以以借火為由和他搭訕。
    Diarmuid: Yes, but I didn't have a lighter, because I don't smoke, so that was the end of the conversation. 是的,但是我沒有打火機,因為我不吸煙,所以就不了了之。
    Feifei: Was she pretty? 她可愛嗎?
    Diarmuid: She was very pretty. 她非常可愛。
    Feifei: Oh well. She'll probably be there tomorrow if you want to talk to her again. 現(xiàn)在在英國幾乎所有的公共場所,像辦公室,飯館兒,都是禁煙的,所以想抽煙的朋友們只能去戶外抽煙。What do people usually say when they are smirting? 以借火搭訕的時候會說什么呢?
