Feifei
欢迎收听由 BBC 制作的 “地道英语” 节目。大家好,我是冯菲菲。
Roy
And I'm Roy! Feifei, is 3pm OK for your appointment with the doctor?
Feifei
你在说什么呢?我为什么要去看病?I feel fine! What are you on about?
Roy
Well, I heard you showed your listicle to Neil earlier and he was worried.
Feifei
“Listicle” 不是一种病,它是一种新兴的文体。看上去就像一篇列表形式的文章,文章的正文基本是由数字标注或者分行罗列的清单所构成。
Roy
Oh, that makes more sense. But why was Neil worried about your listicle?
Feifei
I have no idea. It's only a listicle about the things that he must do to improve my life! Don't worry, I haven't forgotten you in the listicle.
Roy
You mean that you want to improve my life as well?
Feifei
No, Roy! I've written a listicle highlighting things you need to do! I'll let you know what my demands are right after these examples.
Examples
Have you read the new listicle I've written about the greatest video games of all time!
Don't read that listicle. It's just clickbait!
That listicle has an impressive title, but it doesn't really expand on the points it makes. It's more like a list.
Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语”。以上,我们给大家介绍了名词 “listicle” 的意思和用法。“Listicle” 一词由 “list(清单)” 和 “article(文章)” 组合而成,它指的就是 “一个以数字标注或者分行罗列的清单作为主要形式的文章”,也被人们俗称为 “清单体”。Right, here is the listicle I wrote for you Roy.
Roy
What? You can't be serious? You've written here that you want me to burn all of my T-shirts and buy some other clothes? Well, that's not going to happen!
Feifei
I just want you to look smart, Roy. That T-shirt with a picture of a dog staring at a flower on it is not appropriate for a person to wear.
Roy
It's top quality! And you've also gone on in your listicle about how I should stop playing video games. I actually write listicles about games! Here, I wrote one for you.
Feifei
This isn't a listicle! All it says is 'you work too hard Roy – you should go home'.
Roy
Oh, OK. Thanks for the advice – I will!
Feifei
No, I was just reading what you wrote!
Roy
Bye, Feifei!
Feifei
Bye.
