    Phone slang 電話的俚語表達
    Finn: Hi, and welcome to Authentic1 Real English. I'm Finn.
    Feifei: And I'm Feifei. This is the programme in which we teach English slang, idioms and new language in general.
    (Buzzing sound)
    Feifei: What was that?
    Finn: Oh sorry, I was going to mention I brought along some sound effects today from the BBC sound effects cupboard.
    Feifei: Ohhh, 音響效果,音效。
    (Buzzing sound)
    Finn: That one there, was a... well how would you describe it?
    Feifei: Hmm... 嗡嗡聲 a buzz?
    Finn: Very good, yes, a buzz. Now another one, much lighter2 this time...
    (Tinkle3 sounds)
    Feifei: Yes - I'd call that sound a kind of tinkling4 sound 叮當作響。
    Finn: A tinkle. OK, we've had a buzz and a tinkle, now listen to this…
    (Bell sound)
    Feifei:Well, that's easy - it's a bell 鈴聲、鐘聲。
    Finn: Absolutely right. A buzz, a tinkle and a bell...
    Feifei: OK - I'm hoping you're going to explain the connection with English slang?
    Finn: Well, it's about this...
    (Phone ringing sound)
    Finn: ...phones. All three words can be used instead of the word 'call' in this sentence…
    I'll give you a call later tonight.
    Feifei: I'll give you a call. Right - so we could say:
    I'll give you a buzz later tonight.
    Finn: Or:
    I'll give you a tinkle later tonight.
    Finn: Or, you guessed it:
    I'll give you a bell later tonight.
    Finn: That's it, easy. Right: so you now have three new ways to talk about making phone calls. But what about the word for phone itself?
    (Dog barking sound)
    Feifei: OK - well, that was the sound of a dog!
    Finn: That was my dog, Frankie. Shhh, Frankie! Believe it or not - 'dog' is a slang word for 'phone' - it comes from a special kind of London slang called Cockney rhyming slang...
    Feifei: Yes - this is a good one. 狗都喜歡啃骨頭 dogs like bones, 短語 dog and bone 和 phone 連在一起說很押韻。Dog and bone, phone!
    Finn: It does rhyme, yes, so in some parts of the UK you'll hear it used in the same way as the phrase: 'on the phone'... 'on the dog'.
    A: Where's Malcolm?
    B: He's on the dog.
    A: Tell him to come and find me when he finishes, ok?
    (Dog barking sound)
    Finn: Be quiet, Frankie!
    (Dog whimpering sound)
    Finn: On the dog. Great, so we've heard buzzes, tinkles5 and bells - even a dog, and now - one more: listen very carefully...
    (Finn blows on microphone)
    Feifei: Finn, 你對這麥克風吹個什么勁兒 you're blowing onto the microphone...
    Finn: I am indeed. Another word for 'phone', used in the same way as 'dog', is 'blower'...
    Feifei: As in, you're on the blower...
    Finn: Perfect.
    Marc's been on the blower for three hours!
    Philip loves to talk on the phone. He's always on the blower.
    Finn: Great - I hope we've learned some useful expressions today! And hope the lovely BBC sound effects can help you remember them...
    Feifei: Actually, I have one sound effect for you:
    (Lion roaring)
    Finn: A lion?!
    Feifei: Indeed...
    Finn: Oh, I don't know this slang expression, it must be very new! So, can we say: 'I'm on the lion'?
    Feifei: No...
    Finn: Or: 'Give me a lion'?
    Feifei: No, again, I'm afraid...
    Finn: Or: 'That's the lion ringing'?
    Feifei: 不是的,其實這個音效和與電話有關的俚語沒有任何關系 I just like the sound of lions roaring!
    (Lion roaring)
    Finn: (sighs) Join us again for more Authentic Real English.
    Feifei: Bye.
    Finn: Bye.
