Feifei
大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目，我是菲菲。

Rob
… and me, Rob.

Feifei
Rob, are those crumbs around your mouth? 你嘴巴上是饼干渣吗？

Rob
No, I don't think so. Why do you ask?

Feifei
我昨天刚把办公室的饼干罐里装了满满一罐子饼干，但今天一看，罐子却空空如也，这是怎么回事？

Rob
I see – you think I ate all the biscuits!

Feifei
You do like biscuits… 哎，等一下，你兜儿里装的是什么？

Rob
Err, well… biscuits.

Feifei
Caught red-handed, Rob! You are the biscuit thief.

Rob
My hands aren't red.

Feifei
我不是说你的手是红色的。我是用 “caught red-handed” 来表达你 “在做坏事的时候，被抓了个现行，你做错事的行为毋庸置疑”。So, Rob, you've been found out!

Rob
I can explain. But let's have some examples first.

Examples
Jorge was caught red-handed having a sneak peek of his presents before his birthday!

We caught Svetlana red-handed eating chocolate as she said she was giving it up.

The bank worker was sacked after being caught red-handed putting money into his bag.

Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。Rob 从办公室的饼干罐里偷饼干时，被我逮了个正着：He's been caught red-handed. 这里，表达 “caught red-handed” 的意思就是 “做不该做的事情时，被当场抓住，逮了个正着”。Let's face it, Rob, you're guilty!

Rob
OK, OK. I did steal all the biscuits, but it's because I didn't have time for lunch.

Feifei
A likely story.

Rob
Ah… so, shall I put them back in the jar then?

Feifei
Yuck, no! I think you need to buy us some more. And I'm going to put a lock on the jar.

Rob
Why?

Feifei
So you won't be caught red-handed again.

Rob
Oh, crumbs!

Feifei
Bye.

Rob
Bye.
