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

[b]John:[/b] This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm John.

[b]Feifei:[/b] And I'm Feifei.

[b]John:[/b] In Real English, we look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

[b]Feifei:[/b] 在我们的《地道英语》节目中，我们将学到一些现代英式英语的新词汇和新说法。

[b]John:[/b] Today's new phrase is 'veg out'.

[b]Feifei:[/b] Veg out? I don’t think I’ve heard of that one before. What does it mean?

[b]John:[/b] Well, to veg out is to relax and spend time doing very little.

[b]Feifei:[/b] 原来，就是休闲放松，悠闲逍遥，什么也不做的意思吧?

[b]John:[/b] Yes, so normally after a long day at work, you'd go home and just veg out. We can also use it to describe people who always try to relax and not do much at all.

[b]Feifei:[/b] 我明白了， 'veg out' 除了可以表达在一天紧张的工作后回家休闲放松的意思之外，还可以用来形容那些一天到晚什么都不做，逍遥自在享受生活的人。 So it could be a bit negative?

[b]John:[/b] It could be, but we don’t often see people who just 'veg out' all the time.

[b][u]Examples[/u][/b]
[i]A: What did you do last night after badminton?[/i]
[i]B: Oh, I was exhausted by the time I got home, so I just vegged out.[/i]
[i]A: What has James been doing?[/i]
[i]B: Not much, he's just been vegging out.[/i]

[b]John:[/b] So, what are you going to do tonight then Feifei?

[b]Feifei:[/b] I don't know, I think I will probably just go home and veg out in front of the TV. What about you?

[b]John:[/b] I'd love to go home and just veg out as well, but I've got to do the shopping.

[b]Feifei:[/b] 好啦，让我们来回顾一下今天学到的新词吧 – veg out – 就是放松松弛、什么也不做。

[b]John:[/b] Well, that's all for today. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye bye.

[b]Feifei:[/b] See you next time.

wow, 都到E24了， 顶啊！
I am bored, when should we veg out again?

i'm available, anytime!!!

We'd better work out where to veg out.

anywhere u like

Normally after long days at home, I'd go to work and just veg out.

LS真幸福，人家都是after long days at WORK...

哎，原来这个词还是不很合用。

应该用chill out比较合适俺上班的情形。

第一眼看到veg out，还以为是“在外面吃素”:20000
