Let’s have a look – hmm… it looks… unusual.

It’s great. This guy sold it to me. He said it was a top-secret new model –it’s not been released in the shops yet. Here, look…

这部手机非常棒。这个人卖给我的。他说这是一个绝密的新机型，店里还没开始发行。看这儿……

I hate to say it Neil, but I think he pulled a fast one on you!

我不想这么说，但是我觉得他向你行骗了！

But he… oh no.

但他……噢不。

Sorry. To pull a fast one means to deceive or play a trick on someone. We say you pull a fast one on or with somebody. The phone seller pulled a fast one on Neil. Listen to these examples:

抱歉啊。“行骗”的意思是说欺骗或诈骗某人。我们说你欺骗某人或是向某人行骗。这个卖手机的就欺骗了尼尔。来听几个例子吧：

The shopkeeper tried to pull a fast one on me. He gave me a 5 pounds note as change instead of a 20 pounds note.

这个店主想骗我。他找给我5英镑而非20英镑。

Don’t you try and pull a fast one with me! I know you’re not really sick. Get back to work.

别想骗我！我知道你没真生病。回来工作。

So, that’s it. All that money wasted. What an idiot. Oh, is that my phone?

所以就是这样啦。那笔钱算是全部浪费掉了。我太傻啦。噢，是我的手机吗？

Sorry, it’s mine.Hello? Yes… No, I don’t think so… Thanks!

抱歉，是我的手机。喂？是的……不，我不这么觉得……谢谢！

Who was it?

谁啊？

The guy called to say I’ve won a million pounds. All I have to do is give him my bank details and he’ll pay me.

有人打电话说我中了一百万英镑。我要做的就是把我的银行信息给他，他就会把钱付给我。

Someone else trying to pull a fast one!

其他人也想行骗了！

Sadly, yes! I could do with a million pounds.I’d even buy you a new phone, Neil.

对啊，真是悲哀！我想要一百万英镑。我甚至会给你买一部新手机，尼尔。
