Rob
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. I’m Rob. I’m live here with the hero of the day, Feifei.

Feifei
Thanks, Rob. Hello everyone.

Rob
Now, let’s talk about that fantastic performance. BBC Learning English FC were two goals down, and then you came along and scored three times in the last ten minutes. How do you feel?

Feifei
这都是团队一起努力的结果，我只是赶上了进球的好时机。

Rob
A very modest answer, but the crowd are going wild about you. Just listen! It’s fair to say, Feifei. You played a blinder!

Feifei
我其实只是在做我的工作，不过作为一名 BBC 英语教学 FC 球队的球员，我想给大家说两句。

Rob
Of course, go ahead.

Feifei
我想讲讲你刚用到的表达 “to play a blinder”。这个说法多用于描述体育比赛中某人的表现特别精彩，有时也可以用于描述人们在日常生活和工作中全面展示技能，表现极佳。

Rob
Yes, not only did you play a blinder in the football game today. Feifei, you played a blinder with that definition!

Feifei
Thank you, Rob. I’d like to add a little more about the word blinder. 假设你在观赏一场绚丽光彩的、令人眼花缭乱的表演。表演光芒四射，无比绚丽刺眼，以至于你可能什么都看不见了 “go blind”。

Rob
Hmm, like looking at the Sun. Thankfully, it’s just an expression. If you’re watching or listening to this show, we’re sure your eyesight won’t be affected! Let’s have some more examples.

Examples
Theresa played a blinder today in the final. What a simply amazing performance on the tennis court.

Did you see Mexico beating Germany in the World Cup? Mexican forward Hirving Lozano played an absolute blinder!

Darren, what an awesome presentation! You played a blinder. I’m pretty sure we’ve just won some new clients.

Feifei
这里是 BBC 英语教学的《地道英语》。我们正在介绍 “play a blinder” 的意思和用法。

Rob
There we are. Please notice that in the last example, we weren’t talking about sport. You can also play a blinder in a work or business context, or anything that involves skill and performance.

Feifei
Well, Rob, I think we’ve both played a blinder today.

Rob    
Thank you, thank you. Which reminds me… Hang on a second…Yes, let’s bring back the cheering crowd!     

Feifei
I love it. Wouldn’t it be great if we could have people cheering us just like that in real life?

Rob
And wouldn’t it be fantastic if, in real life, you were actually good at football!

Feifei
Hey, come on! We both know I played a blinder – at least in the programme!

Rob
OK.

Both
Bye.
