Neil: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Neil.
    Helen: And I’m Helen.
    Neil: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.
    Helen: 今天的 Real English, 我們來學(xué)學(xué)英語中出現(xiàn)的新習(xí)慣用語。
    Neil: English has a lot of vocabulary. One of the reasons for this is that new words are constantly coming into use.
    Helen: 所以跟著 Real English 學(xué)英語是非常重要的。
    Neil: Absolutely!http://ks.examda.com
    Helen: 今天要教我們什么新詞兒啊,Neil.
    Neil: Today’s new word is "hoody". – H.O.O.D.Y. – hoody.
    Helen: Hoody, 是什么意思啊?
    Neil: Well, a hoody is a teenage boy who typically wears a sweatshirt with a hood.
    Helen: 哦,hoody就是指那些穿著運(yùn)動(dòng)衣裹著頭巾戴著帽子的青少年。
    Neil: Yes, but the name hoody has a negative sense for many people.
    Helen: Hoody 是個(gè)貶義詞,能不能再給我們解釋解釋,Neil。
    Neil: Yes. Hoodies are often violent or commit crime.
    Helen: Hoodies 就是那些特別不憤兒的暴力小混混兒,有那么厲害嗎?
    Neil: Yes. Hoodies are often responsible for violent crimes or street robberies.
    Helen: 哦,這些叫 hoody 的人,就是那些愛找事兒的年輕人,他們其實(shí)才只有十幾歲呀。
    Neil: That’s right.

    A: I don’t feel safe going into the town centre at night.
    B: Me neither. There are gangs of hoodies just standing around or causing trouble.
    Helen: 那 Neil, 是所有的 hoody 都有暴力傾向嗎?
    Neil: I don’t think so, but they look frightening.
    Helen: 他們看上去都很兇。
    Neil: Yes. Hoodies look dangerous, so many people avoid them.
    Helen: Right, okay.
    Neil: I have seen many hoodies in England, but I have never had a problem.
    Helen: Really?來源:www.examda.com
    Neil: No, never. But I still prefer to stay away from hoodies if possible.
    Helen: 那倒是, 能避開就避開吧。
    Neil: But, Helen, most teenagers are really lovely people. Anyway, let’s recap – a hoody - means a teenager wearing a hooded sweatshirt who intimidates others or causes violence.
    Helen: 這個(gè)詞就是愛找事兒的小年輕兒,而且還都一副氣勢洶洶的樣子。好了,Neil,咱們結(jié)束的時(shí)間要到了。
