原歌词

[00:00.46]	C: Hi, I'm Chris, and welcome to The English We Speak.
[00:03.79]	C: It's a nice day here in London, so I've come outside to meet Helen.
[00:07.97]	C: Ah, there she is.
[00:09.51]	C: Helen, how are you?
[00:11.32]	H: I'm fine thanks.
[00:14.16]	C: What are you doing? What are you looking at?
[00:18.40]	H: I'm looking up.
[00:20.43]	C: Right. But I can't see anything.
[00:25.35]	H: Neither can I.
[00:27.53]	C: Have you seen an aeroplane or something?
[00:30.57]	H: Not sure.
[00:31.86]	C: Maybe a bird?
[00:34.22]	H: Well, apparently things are looking up.
[00:37.61]	C: Things are looking up?
[00:39.69]	H: Yes, Rosie told me that the weather has been sunny for the last three days, so things are looking up.
[00:46.00]	H: I thought I'd come and see for myself.
[00:49.02]	H: But there's not much going on to be honest.
[00:52.72]	C: Ah, I think you've misunderstood.
[00:55.65]	C: Rosie didn't mean there are things up in the sky.
[00:59.14]	H: Really? What do you mean?
[01:01.18]	C: It's an expression.
[01:02.72]	C: You use the phrase "things are looking up" when you want to suggest that conditions are getting better or more positive.
[01:09.23]	H: Oh, right.
[01:11.04]	C: Here are some examples.
[01:12.90]	Examples: My wife and I both found great new jobs last month, so things are looking up.
[01:19.45]	Things are finally looking up now that he's recovered from his illness.
[01:24.67]	H: So when Rosie told me that things were looking up, she meant that the weather has been getting better at the moment.
[01:31.70]	C: Yes, she's suggesting that it looks like the weather in general is improving.
[01:36.51]	C: So what do you think?
[01:38.12]	C: Do you think the weather is getting better?
[01:40.77]	H: So far, yes, yesterday was really hot.
[01:43.18]	H: I hope it lasts for the weekend.
[01:45.21]	H: But if things get worse, would you say, "things are looking down"?
[01:50.29]	C: Not really.
[01:51.07]	C: Instead, you could say, "It's taken a turn for the worse".
[01:54.98]	H: It's taken a turn for the worse.
[01:57.80]	H: That's a useful phrase.
[01:59.58]	C: Oh, but hang on.
[02:01.30]	C: Look at that black cloud in the sky.
[02:03.32]	C: It looks like it might rain after all.
[02:05.90]	C: That's typical English weather.
[02:08.03]	H: Oh great. Things really have taken a turn for the worse.
[02:12.82]	H: Quick, let's get back to the office before it rains.
[02:15.82]	C: Let's go!
[02:16.85]	C: Do join us again for another edition of The English We Speak and visit our website, bbclearningenglish.com.
[02:22.77]	C: Bye.
[02:23.14]	H: Bye.

歌词翻译

[00:00.46]	C：你好，我是克里斯，欢迎来到我们说英语。
[00:03.79]	C：伦敦的天气真好，所以我到外面去见海伦。
[00:07.97]	C：啊，她在那儿。
[00:09.51]	C：海伦，你好吗？
[00:11.32]	H：我很好，谢谢。
[00:14.16]	C：你在干什么？你在看什么？
[00:18.40]	H：我正在抬头看天。
[00:20.43]	C：对。但我什么也看不见。
[00:25.35]	H：我也不能。
[00:27.53]	C：你看到飞机或是别的什么了吗？
[00:30.57]	H：不确定。
[00:31.86]	C：也许是只鸟？
[00:34.22]	H：嗯，显然情况正在好转。
[00:37.61]	C：情况正在好转吗？
[00:39.69]	H：是的，罗茜告诉我过去三天天气一直晴朗，所以一切都在好转。
[00:46.00]	H：我想我会亲自来看一看。
[00:49.02]	H：但老实说，没有多少进展。
[00:52.72]	C：啊，我想你误会了。
[00:55.65]	C：罗茜并不是说天上有东西。
[00:59.14]	H：真的吗？什么意思？
[01:01.18]	C：这是一个表达式。
[01:02.72]	C：当你想表明情况正在好转或更积极时，你会用到“事情正在好转”这个短语。
[01:09.23]	H：哦，确实。
[01:11.04]	C：这里有一些例子。
[01:12.90]	例如：上个月，我和妻子都找到了新工作，所以情况好转了。
[01:19.45]	他病痊愈了，情况终于好转了。
[01:24.67]	H：所以当罗茜告诉我事情正在好转的时候，她是说现在天气已经好转了。
[01:31.70]	C：是的，她在暗示天气好像在好转。
[01:36.51]	C：那你觉得怎么样？
[01:38.12]	C：你认为天气在变好吗？
[01:40.77]	H：到目前为止，是的，昨天真的很热。
[01:43.18]	H：我希望它能持续到周末。
[01:45.21]	H：但如果情况变得更糟，你会说，“情况正在好转吗？”
[01:50.29]	C：不见得。
[01:51.07]	C：相反，你可以说，“情况变得更糟了”。
[01:54.98]	H：情况变得更糟了。
[01:57.80]	H：那是个有用的短语。
[01:59.58]	C：哦，但是等一下。
[02:01.30]	C：看着天上的乌云。
[02:03.32]	C：天好像要下雨了。
[02:05.90]	C：那是典型的英国天气。
[02:08.03]	H：哦，太好了。事情确实变得更糟了。
[02:12.82]	H：快，让我们在下雨前回到办公室。
[02:15.82]	C：我们走吧！
[02:16.85]	C：再加入我们的另一个版本的我们所说的英语和访问我们的网站。
[02:22.77]	C：再见。
[02:23.14]	H：再见。
