Hello and welcome to The English We Speak.I’m Rob.
大家好，欢迎来到地道英语。我是罗布。
Hello everyone.I’m Feifei.Rob, I have a question about a saying that I heard recently.Can we talk about it in this programme?
大家好，我是菲菲。罗布，我有一个问题想要问你，是关于我最近听到的一句谚语的。我们可以在这期节目里谈谈这句谚语吗？
Yes, sure – what is it?
当然可以——哪句谚语呢？
Well, last night I was in the pub with some friends,it was getting late and they were starting to drink shots of liquor;one of my friends was encouraging me to give it go and he said“Drink it, it’ll put hairs on your chest!”What did he mean?Why would liquor put hairs on my chest?I do not want hairs on my chest!
嗯，昨晚我和一些朋友在酒吧里，天渐渐晚了，他们开始喝了几杯酒。我的一个朋友鼓励我也试一下，他说“喝了它，它会让你长胸毛的！”他是什么意思啊？为什么喝酒会让我长胸毛呢？我可不想长胸毛啊！
Haha, I’m sure you don’t but that’s very funny, Feifei.‘It’ll put hairs on your chest’ in that context means it’s good for you,it’ll make you a strong man or a woman!
哈哈，我确定你不会长胸毛的，但这非常有趣，菲菲。在这个语境里，‘它会让你长胸毛’意思是这对你有好处，它会让你变成一个强壮的人！”
To have hairs on my chest means I’m a strong person?What a strange expression!
长胸毛的意思是我是一个强壮的人？好奇怪的表达方式啊！
Yeah, I suppose it is a little strange.Traditionally, we say ‘that’ll put hairs on your chest’ to someonewhen they are about to have a very strong alcoholic drink or a very satisfying hearty meal.It is used in a humorous way.
对，我也觉得它有一点奇怪。习惯上，我们对某人说‘这会使你有男子汉气魄’，是在他们要喝一杯烈酒或是吃一顿让人心满意足的丰盛大餐时。这是一种幽默的表达方式。
Ah, that’s what it means.I was so confused last night.Can we use this saying in any other context?
啊，是这个意思啊。我昨晚还特别困惑呢。这句谚语可以用在其他所有语境里吗？
Yes, we can.These days we can use this saying in many contexts.For example, we can use it to mean something that will make you healthy, strong and tough.
对，可以的。现在这句谚语可以用在许多语境里。比如，当我们说一些东西可以使你变得健康、强壮、坚强的时候，就可以用这句谚语。
Can we hear some examples, please?
我们可以听几个例子吗？拜托。
Of course.
当然。
Have another drink!It’ll put hairs on your chest.
再喝一杯吧！它会使你有男子汉气魄的！
Why don’t you try the spicy fish dish?That’ll put hairs on your chest.
为什么不试试这碟辛辣的鱼呢？这会使你有男子汉气魄的！
I was told eating dates everyday would put hairs on my chest.
有人告诉我说每天吃枣可以让我身体健康。
Have some more green vegetables –they’ll put hairs on your chest.
多吃点青菜——他们会让你更强壮的。
So we can use ‘it’ll put hairs on your chest’ to mean something that is good for you and makes you strong.
所以我们能用‘它会让你有男子汉气魄’来表示一些东西对你有好处，并且能使你变得强壮。
Yes.So Feifei, would you like to try some sloe ginthat I’ve made for Christmas?
是的。所以菲菲，你想要喝一点金酒吗？这是我为圣诞节而制作的。
Sloe gin?Mmm, I will only have some sloe gin if it doesn’t put hairs on my chest.
金酒？嗯，如果它不会让我长胸毛的话，我倒是可以来一点。
Haha, I am sure it won’t…here you are…
哈哈，我确定它不会的…给你…
Thanks!See you next time.
谢谢！下次再见。
Bye
再见
