Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.
大家好，歡迎來到BBC《地道英語》。
I'm Feifei...
我是菲菲。
And hello, I'm Rob.
大家好，我是羅伯。
Rob, what's the smell? Are you cooking something?
羅伯，什麼味道？你在做飯嗎？
Yes. It's my favourite - roast beef. Yummy!
是的。我最喜歡的烤牛肉，好吃！
Roast beef?! This isn't really the time to be cooking.
烤牛肉？！現在不是做飯的時候。
Well, you said let's do 'roast' today - so I thought I'd make a start. Just got to do the roast potatoes now...
嗯，你說讓我們今天「roast」，所以我想我該開始了。現在就得做烤土豆了……
Rob, stop I meant let's do the word 'roast'.
羅伯，別說了，我的意思是讓我們討論「roast」這個詞。
Oh right. Well, this is a good example of roasting.
哦，是呀。這是一個很好的燒烤例子。
No, Rob. It's not the meaning I had in mind.
不，羅伯。這不是我想要的意思。
'Roasting' is not just about cooking food in an oven.
「Roasting」不僅僅是指在烤箱裡烹飪食物。
We can 'roast' people by criticising them harshly.
我們可以通過嚴厲地批評來「roast」別人。
So, Rob, you were very foolish to start cooking something while we're presenting a programme!
所以，羅伯，你太愚蠢了，在我們做節目的時候，你就開始做飯了！
Oh, am I being 'roasted' now?
哦，我現在是被批評了嗎？
You sure are, but you're not alone. Here are some examples...
當然是，但你並不孤單。一起來聽一些例句……
We had to roast the teacher after she was seen shopping when she was supposed to be off work with flu!
老師因為流感不上班，但當看到她這時去購物，我們不得不批評她！
After my PowerPoint presentation froze during an important meeting, my boss gave me a roasting.
在一次重要會議上，我的PPT演示文稿不會動了，老闆批評了我一頓。
She was roasted by her friends after she posted pictures of herself on social media showing off her 'amazing' suntan.
她在社交媒體上發布了自己的照片，炫耀自己「令人驚嘆的」曬黑了，這讓她的朋友們吐槽了她一頓。
This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English and we're talking about the word 『roast』, which means 『to criticise severely』.
這是我們從BBC學習英語講的英語，我們討論的是短語「roast」這個詞，意思是「嚴厲批評」。
I'm sure you're used to being roasted, Rob?
我肯定你已經習慣被「roast」了，羅伯？
Well, if you mean I am hot and smell delicious, then I am very roasted!
如果你是說我很辣聞起來很香，那我就非常值得被烤了！
Excuse me?
不好意思，你說什麼？
Feifei, another meaning of 『roast』 is to tease someone in a light-hearted way or give a funny comeback when someone tries to humiliate you.
菲菲，「roast」的另一個意思是當有人試圖羞辱你時，用輕鬆的方式取笑某人，或以滑稽的方式逗她。
Oh, ha ha! But hold on, Rob, I can smell something else...
哦，哈哈！但等一下，羅伯，我能聞到別的味道……
Oh no - I left the oven on and now the food is burning. Help!
哦，不，我沒關烤箱，現在食物都燒焦了。救命呀！
Rob, you are really stupid - and you can't cook either.
羅伯，你真蠢，你也不會做飯。
That's me roasted!
我挨批評了！
Bye.
再見。

再見。
