Feifei Neil, what a nice mobile phone you have with you! Wow! Very flashy! Gold colour! Neil It's brilliant! The battery lasts a long time. It's got loads of memory, has plenty of room for apps, pictures, videos… The camera is great too! Feifei It must have cost you a fortune! Neil Not at all, it was a steal! Feifei A steal? 偷来的手机?Neil!!!! Oh, you shouldn't have done that! You are such a nice guy, why would you do something like that? You could have taken out a loan to buy it or something… but… Neil What do you mean? (Sound of a police car siren) Feifei They are here, they've come for you! Neil No, that was just a sound effect! I'm just having a joke with you. I'm not going to be arrested. In English, when you say something is 'a steal' you mean it's a bargain – so cheap that it is almost as if you haven't paid anything for it. Feifei 你可真会聊天!原来在英语里,当人们觉得一件东西买得又值又特别便宜的时候就可以说它是个 steal,就好像是白送的。这是个很口语化的表达,在使用时要注意语境和场合。 Neil Sorry Feifei, it was just a joke. Let's hear examples of how this expression is used. Examples I got this designer shirt in the sales at £100 cheaper than the original price. It's a steal. This is the latest model, sir. You won't find this new computer cheaper in any other shop in the high street. It's a steal! Neil See? Feifei 嗯,现在我完全明白这个词的用法了。 Neil So as I was saying my phone was so cheap… My phone!!! Where is it?! I had it just here! Where has it gone? Feifei Yeah, where is it? It was right here… Neil Yeah! Now I really do need to call the police! (Sound of a police car siren) Feifei No, you don't. Your phone is here! I hid it when you got distracted. Neil Nice one, Feifei. Revenge for my joke at the beginning. And for the listeners - don't steal anything. 'It's a steal' is just an expression. Both Bye! 本文来源:https://www.wddqw.com/doc/0a5a799bbed5b9f3f90f1cde.html
