大家好！歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。

…and me, Roy.

我們可能聽(tīng)起來(lái)與以往有些不同，這是因?yàn)樵谛鹿诜窝滓咔楸l(fā)期間，我們無(wú)法在平時(shí)的錄音間錄制節(jié)目。
Roy，你能不能不玩手機(jī)了？咱們倆需要對(duì)話(huà)！哦，原來(lái)你在玩的是那個(gè)游戲。你可能不好意思告訴大家你在玩的是哪個(gè)游戲……在這期節(jié)目里，我們要教給大家的這個(gè)詞語(yǔ)就可以用來(lái)形容某人不吱聲地、偷偷地做某事。

Well, I absolutely love this new app game. It’s the one where you play as a dog that has to catch bananas and throw them through a hoop! Have you played it?
Feifei
I know the one! It’s called ‘Banana catching dog hoop challenge - the game’? I am lowkey addicted to playing it.? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??
Roy
What? Why did you say ‘lowkey’??
Feifei
我用 “l(fā)owkey” 是因?yàn)槲也幌胱屗腥硕贾牢以诟墒裁?。Surely you have some self-respect and don’t want people to know that you’re playing a game for eight year olds??
Roy
No, I don’t care what people think of me. I still watch cartoons, play video games and read comics.?
Feifei
Well, I’m sure there’s something you want to be discreet about. We’ll find out right after these examples.?
Examples
I lowkey love watching romantic comedies. I tell my girlfriend I don’t, but secretly I do.?
He is lowkey in love with Eric! He talks about him all the time, but he won’t admit it.
I lowkey fell over walking to the shops. I am so embarrassed.
Feifei
你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)”。在這期節(jié)目里，我們教大家如何使用流行詞 “l(fā)owkey”?！癓owkey” 作副詞時(shí)，意思是 “偷偷地，暗地里”。 大家對(duì) “l(fā)ow-key” 作形容詞時(shí)的用法可能不陌生。
Roy
Most people know ‘low-key’ as an adjective which describes things - such as events that are quiet.?
Feifei
是的，“l(fā)ow-key” 作形容詞時(shí)的意思是 “低調(diào)的，不張揚(yáng)的”。比如：a low-key wedding 一場(chǎng)低調(diào)的婚禮。?
Roy
In the use in this programme, ‘lowkey’ is used as an adverb to mean ‘secretly’ or ‘moderately’. It’s also spelt as one word. You know the opposite to ‘lowkey’ is ‘high key’? When you’re proud about something and you want everyone to know, you use the term ‘high key’.
Feifei
Roy. I’m more subtle and discreet than you.
Roy
Well, I high key love playing video games – even that app game. Yeah, I know it’s meant for young children, but it’s still really cool.?
Feifei
I lowkey enjoy them too. I don’t want to tell anyone.
Roy
Well, I lowkey have about twenty other games like ‘Banana catching dog hoop challenge – the game’ on my phone!?
Feifei
I knew it! I knew you’d want to be low-key about something.
Roy
Do you want to play one??
Feifei
Of course, I do! Bye, Roy.
Roy
Bye.?
