Morning Neil. In a rush today, were you?
早上好，尼爾。今天很匆忙，對吧？
Very attentive of you.
你倒是很細心啊。
And your shirt has – ketchup on it?
你的襯衫上有……番茄醬？
Oops, yes – beans for breakfast.
哎呦，是的，早餐吃的豆子。
And you haven’t shaved, have you?
你也沒刮鬍子，是吧？
Relax, Neil. I’m just giving you the opportunity to use the phrase we are teaching, which is: 』have a go』!
放輕鬆，尼爾。我只不過是給你一個機會，讓你用到我們今天要教的這個短語，就是「批評、指責某人」！
Well that’s a relief.
那我真是鬆了一口氣啊。
To have a go at someone』, as we』ve just seen, means to criticise someone.
這個短語，就像我們剛剛看到的那樣，意思是批評某人。
That’s right. Here are some examples.
對。這兒有一些例子。

米凱拉冒犯了我們的客戶後，老闆確實批評了她。
Susie had a go at her husband last night. He』d forgotten all about her birthday.
蘇西昨晚指責了她丈夫。他完全忘記了蘇西的生日。
Why do you always have a go at me? Why can’t you say something nice?
你為什麼總是指責我呢？你就不能說點好聽的嗎？
That’s our phrase. 』To have a go at someone』 - which means to criticise someone.
這就是我們今天的短語。「批評、指責某人」，意思是批評某人。
There. Can we be nice to each other now?
好了。現在我們能對彼此友好一些嗎？
Well, we can have a go!
好，我們可以試一試！
Ah, very clever. 』To have a go』 has another meaning – ’to try』.
啊，很聰明嘛。這個表達方式還有另外一個意思——「試一試」。
Yes – if you have a go at something, you try it.
對，如果說你嘗試某事，就是說你試一試。
Why don’t you have a go at making an example sentence, Feifei?
為什麼你不試著給個例句呢，菲菲？
Ok then. I’m going to have a go at cooking a Thai curry from scratch.
好的。我要試試從頭做起烹飪泰國咖喱。
Tasty. To have a go』 meaning ’to try』. And one last thing, Feifei. Do I really look scruffy?
美味啊。這個短語的意思就是「試一試」。最後一件事，菲菲。我看上去真的很邋遢嗎？
Not at all. Though you could shave once in a while.
一點也不。但你可以偶爾刮刮鬍子。
I』ll have a go. Just for you Feifei.
我會試一試的。只是為了你，菲菲。
Bye.
再見。
