大家好,欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是佳莹。
Roy
… and me, Roy. What are you doing? You look really relaxed! Shouldn’t you be working?
Jiaying
I am working! I’m just enjoying the chilled vibe of working from home!
Roy
Chilled vibe? Is that some kind of juice?
Jiaying
No, Roy! 我刚刚说到的这个词 “vibe” 和果汁无关,它表示 “事物的氛围,比如一个地方的环境气氛或者一首歌曲给人带来的感觉”,也可以指 “人散发出的气质”。举个例子,如果某物 “has a good vibe”,意思就是 “气氛好,很有氛围”;如果某人 “has a good vibe”,就是说这个人 “给你的感觉不错,在一起觉得很开心、很放松”。
Roy
Ah… for example, that online concert we went to had a really good vibe!
Jiaying
说得没错!这下你会用了吧!
Roy
Yeah – you can listen to calming music or play a game to relax – things that have a good vibe!
Jiaying
Exactly! We can talk about how to improve our vibe after these examples.
Examples
Derek has such a good vibe! Everyone who speaks with him just feels so chilled out!
That place has got a really bad vibe. When I walk into the building, I get really anxious and stressed.
I’m so happy after watching that film. It was such a nice story and had a really chilled vibe!

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上,我们给大家介绍了名词 “vibe” 的意思。“Vibe” 指 “氛围,给人带来的感觉”。补充一下,我们可以用搭配 “vibe check” 来打听一个场所的气氛如何,或者询问某人的情绪状态怎么样。So, Roy – what sort of things can you do to improve your mood and vibe?
Roy
Well, like I said, watching films or listening to music that chill you out can help. Or, speaking to people who have a good vibe! I also try to avoid things that have a bad vibe! For me, I like to try and improve myself every day!
Jiaying
What, like exercising or reading a book?
Roy
Exactly! I try to go to bed every day better than when I woke up by learning something new. An improved Roy every day, and that vibe can affect other people too! It’s especially important for me to think this way after a year like this!
Jiaying
I agree! So, can I get a vibe check? How are you feeling, Roy?
Roy
I’m feeling chilled out! I’ve got a good vibe!
Jiaying
You certainly do! Bye, Roy.
Roy
Bye.
