Helen: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I’m Helen
    Zo?: Hello, 我是劉佳。歡迎收聽我們今天的地道英語。
    Helen: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
    Zo?: 英語和中文一樣，有很多的俗語。所以要想更好的掌握這門語言，就要對(duì)英語里的日常用語和習(xí)慣表達(dá)了如指掌。
    Helen: That’s right, Zo?. And today’s word is very informal and very typically British too.
    Zo?: So what’s the word, Helen?
    Helen: Today’s word is knackered. K.N.A.C.K.E.R.E.D. Knackered.
    Zo?: Knackered. 是什么意思呢?
    Helen: It’s a very informal way to say you are very tired.
    Zo?: 我明白了，knackered就是 太累了，太疲憊了的意思。不過這是個(gè)非常隨便的說法。
    Helen: That’s right.

    A: You look really tired.
    B: I am. I’m knackered. I could go to sleep right now.
    Helen: Knackered is a useful word because it also has another meaning.
    Zo?: 哦？還有第二個(gè)意思，是什么呢？HELEN?
    Helen: Well, you can also use the word knackered to describe something as broken.
    Zo?: OK, Knackered 還可以表示壞了的意思.
    Helen: Yes, that’s right. If a machine is broken and can’t be fixed, we can say it is knackered.

    A: Is this computer broken?
    B: Yeah, it’s knackered. We should just throw it away and get a new one.
    Zo?: 好了，現(xiàn)在讓我們來復(fù)習(xí)一下今天學(xué)的吧?
    Helen: Good idea. Today’s word was knackered, which can mean tired for a person or broken for a machine.
    Zo?: Knackered有兩個(gè)意思，一個(gè)是表示特別累，疲憊的意思；另一個(gè)意思說的是壞了。
    Helen: Well, Zo?. It looks like we’re out of time.
    Zo?: 我們下次節(jié)目再見.
    Helen: Goodbye.
