[b]The script of this programme 本节目台词[/b]

[b]Jo:[/b] Hello, I'm Jo and you're listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. With me today is Lily, hello.

[b]Lily:[/b] Hello Jo. 是的，两分钟的地道英语节目，短小精悍，常听常练，你能积累许多书本上见不到的英式新词语。 Jo，今天的新词是什么?

[b]Jo:[/b] Well today's Real English word is palaver P.A.L.A.V.E.R. palaver.

[b]Lily:[/b] Palaver. 听上去像个名词，什么意思呢 Jo?

[b]Jo:[/b] Well if something is a palaver, it means there is an unnecessary fuss or bother about the way something is done.

[b]Lily:[/b] I see. Palaver 意思就是，不必要的繁琐和麻烦。

[b]Jo:[/b] So for example, say I'd just bought a new MP3 player, but it was really difficult to work out how to use it and how to put my music on it, that would be a palaver.

[b]Lily:[/b] 这太典型了，买了一个新的 MP3 播放器，可是操作太复杂，说明太啰嗦，这时，你就 可以说，it’s a palaver. Let's listen to some more examples.

[u][b]Examples[/b][/u]
[i]A: Oh I can't believe the whole family are coming to dinner – I'll have to buy lots of food, drink and decide what dishes to cook. It's going to be really stressful.[/i]
[i]B: For 14 people – I can imagine! What a palaver![/i]
[i]A: Have you applied for that new job yet?[/i]
[i]B: I'm trying but it's a real palaver. I have to fill in about five forms, and write an essay, and I have about two days left![/i]

[b]Lily:[/b] 好了，让我们复习一下今天的新词 palaver，意思就是不必要的麻烦或繁琐。如果大家希望了解更多新词语 请随时上网。我们的网址是 [url=http://www.bbcchina.com.cn./][color=#623902]www.bbcchina.com.cn.[/color][/url] 谢谢收听，下次节目再会。
