Feifei
大家好!欢迎来到 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是冯菲菲。
Neil
… and me, Neil.
Feifei
Hey, Neil. Would you like to try this new coconut smoothie I bought from that new cafe?
Neil
Coconut? Ugh… I hate coconut!
Feifei
Oh, right.
Neil
In fact, I hate that new cafe! It’s too expensive.
Feifei
但是那家咖啡馆里卖的食品质量非常好,服务人员也很友好。他们总是面带笑容地跟顾客打招呼。
Neil
Ugh! I hate talking to people in the morning.
Feifei
Oh, dear, Neil. You’re very negative. ‘Hate’ is a very strong word. You are a perfect example of a ‘hater’. This describes a negative person who dislikes someone or something – but not everything, unlike you, Neil! Let’s hear from some other ‘haters’.
Examples
I’m a real hater of restaurants adding a fixed service charge to the bill. Why can’t I choose how much to tip?
My wife’s a hater of horror films, so we had to go and see a rom-com at the cinema instead!
Feifei
这里是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语”。在刚刚听到的例句中,一个 “hater” 憎恨餐馆在账单上增加固定的服务费;另一个 “hater” 不喜欢看恐怖片。So those are examples of ‘haters’ – negative people who dislike someone or something, and sometimes without good reason. Like Neil.
Neil
Oh, I hate it when you call me names! But, Feifei, I am allowed to dislike things and I am not as bad as modern ‘haters’. These are people who write unpleasant things about someone on the internet, like this…
Example
I wish I had ignored the haters who criticised my acting career on my blog. It’s really knocked my confidence.
Feifei
Not nice! 还有一种 “hater” 经常在网络上攻击、辱骂他人。
Neil
Someone like this often criticises someone unfairly – or without good reason. It can be very discouraging. Don’t you just hate those kinds of people, Feifei?
Feifei
I do, but sometimes it’s best just to ignore it.
Neil
Yes. Anyway, Feifei, I know what I don’t hate – a nice cup of tea. Do you fancy making me one? Ah, you’re ignoring me now. I hate it when you do that!
Feifei
Bye, Neil!
Neil
Bye. Alright, I’ll put the kettle on.
