Mardy
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Feifei.
大家好,欢迎收听BBC地道英语,我是菲菲。
And hi, I'm Rob. Hey, Feifei. Why the long face?
嗨,我是罗伯。嘿,菲菲,你怎么了,脸拉得老长?
What's wrong with my face?
我的脸咋了?
I mean, why are you looking so… grumpy?
我的意思是,为什么你看起来这么……烦躁?
Grumpy!?
烦躁!?
Yes… moody.
是的,喜怒无常。
Moody! There is nothing wrong – this is my normal face.
喜怒无常!我没一点事——我平时就是这样的表情呀。
Why are you throwing so many insults at me?
你为什么要用这么多词来侮辱我?
Oh come on, you do look a bit bad-tempered.
哦,别这样,你看起来确实挺暴躁的。
I'm not bad-tempered.
我没有脾气暴躁呀。
But I'm getting angry now.
不过我现在确实是生气了。
Oh great! Then I can describe you as mardy.
太好了!那我就可以说你是“mardy”了。
Mardy? I hope that's not another insult.
“Mardy”?我可不希望这是另一个侮辱我的词。
It's not an insult – but 'mardy' does describe someone who is in a bad mood, moans a lot and gets annoyed easily.
这并不是在侮辱你——“mardy”可以用来描述一个人闷闷不乐,总是发牢骚,而且容易烦躁发火。
So, thanks for demonstrating that, Feifei!
所以,菲菲,感谢你为我们示范了这个词!
My pleasure! Let's hear some examples…
不客气啦!那我们来听一些例子吧~
There are no desks for Pedro to work at today, so he has to sit on the sofa - no wonder he is so mardy.
今天没有给佩德罗准备办公桌,他得坐在沙发上办公了——不出意外,他肯定非常恼火。
My boyfriend is always so mardy – nothing seems to please him. Maybe I shouldn't have come home drunk last night!
我男朋友总是烦躁易怒——似乎没什么能让他高兴的。或许我昨天晚上不应该醉醺醺地回家!
Steer clear of me today. I only had four hours sleep last night and I'm really mardy today.
今天都离我远点。我昨天晚上只睡了四个小时,现在真的很烦躁!
This is The English We Speak from BBC Learning English, and we're talking about the word 'mardy', which describes someone in a bad mood.
这里是BBC地道英语,我们正在讨论形容词“mardy”的用法。它可以用来描述一个人正心情郁闷。
As I was saying, Rob, I am not mardy!
罗伯,就像我说的,我可不是“mardy”哦!
If you say so, Feifei.
你说什么就是什么吧,菲菲。
But I know something to make you mardy.
不过我知道一些事会惹得你暴躁。
Oh yes?
是吗?
You're going to have to record this programme again.
这期节目你要再录一次了。
What? Again? Why?
什么?再来一起?为啥?
You forgot to explain that 'mardy' also describes someone who is sulky or grumpy.
因为你忘了解释“mardy”可以形容人闷闷不乐或脾气暴躁。
Hmm, you're just being awkward.
呃……你可真是不好应付呀。
I'm not going to start this programme again – I'm too busy.
我可不要再录一次节目了,我可是非常忙的。
Right, I'm off to get a coffee. Goodbye!
好了,我要去喝杯咖啡了。拜拜!
Who's mardy now? Or is he just acting? Bye!
现在是谁生气了呀?还是他只是在表演?拜拜~
