Chen Li: 年夜傢好，我是陳鸝。

Helen: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

Chen Li: 英語是一種非常程式化的語行，所以懂得現實生涯中人們經常应用的牢固表達跟俚語天然便很有效了。

Helen: Today’s word is ‘bash’ – B.A.S.H.

Chen Li: 那麼它的意思是什麼呢？

Helen: Well bash usually means to hit very hard

Chen Li: 那麼說，bash 经常使用意思就是使劲的擊打，還有其它的用法战意思嗎？

Helen: Well a bash is also a large party or a celebration.

Chen Li: 看來，bash 又指散會或慶祝，狂懽活動，那麼我們若何利用它呢？

Helen: Well you might say ‘I’m having a bit of a bash for my birthday’ meaning I’m having a big birthday party. Or someone might invite you to their birthday bash.

Chen Li: 意思就是你接到诞辰聚會的邀請。

Helen: Here’s another example with some language to help – invite.

Chen Li: 邀請， ceremony 典禮，聚會.

A: Are you invited to Jim’s wedding?

B: Well, I’m not invited to the ceremony but I am going to the bash afterwards

Chen Li: So Helen, what was the last good bash you went to?

Helen: Well I had a bit of a bash for my birthday last month which was a lot of fun.

Chen Li: What kind of bash was it?

Helen: I had a karaoke party in pub. I love karaoke.

Chen Li: 我也喜懽卡推 OK, 可是您竟然沒有邀請我參减？Hmph!

Helen: Oh I’m sorry Li – I wanted to but you were in China when I had my bash.

Chen Li: Hmm 那好，我就饒你一次了。Anyway, that’s all for today. 我們來復習一下吧！明天壆到的詞語是 bash – 作為動詞，意义是擊打，做為名詞，意思是聚會。

Helen: You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. We’ll see you next time.

Chen Li: Bye.
