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. Did you just eat my entire bucket of popcorn?
Jiaying
对啊,是我吃的!YOLO!
Roy
I can’t believe you ate my popcorn! I was going to share that with you while we watched a film! And what on earth does YOLO mean?
Jiaying
You only live once!
Roy
Thanks for reminding me, but seriously, what does YOLO mean?
Jiaying
“YOLO, Y O L O” 是 “you only live once” 的首字母缩写,这句话字面上的意思是 “人生只有一次”,那么如果你听到有人高呼 “YOLO”,这个人其实是在告诉你 “要享受当下,活得精彩一点,不要过多地顾虑将来的事情”。
Roy
… which is somehow connected to why you ate all the popcorn, is it?
Jiaying
Well, I was hungry, so I ate it! YOLO! Let’s talk more about it after these examples.
Examples
I decided to buy that new car! I know it’s expensive, but YOLO!
She said that I was boring and left me! The last thing she said was ‘YOLO’!
Bertie quit his job as a bus driver and opened up a new sci-fi-themed cafe! YOLO.

你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。刚刚我们给大家介绍了网络流行词 “YOLO” 的意思和用法。它是 “you only live once(人生只有一次)” 这句话的首字母缩写形式。人们常用 “YOLO” 来提醒他人 “之所以尝试一件事情,是因为人生短暂,所以要活在当下”。
Roy
Yes, they often use YOLO to justify a risk that is connected with something they are doing. On that note, I have just used your credit card to book a holiday of a lifetime! YOLO!
Jiaying
你说什么!你用我的信用卡给你自己预订了一个梦寐以求的假期?
Roy
Yep! I’m going swimming with sharks, mountain climbing and cliff diving! YOLO!
Jiaying
With my money? Oh, I’m going to be broke!
Roy
Haha… I’m only joking. I just thought I’d wind you up because you ate my popcorn! I do think you should buy some more of that, though.
Jiaying
That sounds fair! I’m glad you didn’t notice I ate your cake and drank all your cans of drink too! YOLO! Bye, Roy!
Roy
You ate my cake too? Oh, Jiaying! Bye.
