什么是 “soft spot 軟肋”？菲菲說(shuō)她知道 Rob 的 “soft spot” 是什么，不過(guò)經(jīng)過(guò)一番對(duì)話(huà)后，菲菲發(fā)現(xiàn) “soft spot” 和人的身體并沒(méi)有什么關(guān)系，而是一種描述你對(duì)一件事或一個(gè)人的感覺(jué)的方式。聽(tīng)他們的對(duì)話(huà)，學(xué)習(xí)地道表達(dá) “to have a soft spot for someone or something”。

Feifei
大家好，這里是 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲。
Rob
Oh! And hello, I'm Rob.
Feifei
Rob，你應(yīng)該知道邊吃東西邊說(shuō)話(huà)是很不禮貌的吧？
Rob
Sorry, sorry! It’s just somebody left these doughnuts here and I had to eat them – I have a soft spot for doughnuts.
Feifei
你就不能等一等？
Rob
No, sorry, I can't. Oh, is that chocolate I can see in your bag? You couldn't spare a few chunks, could you? I have a soft spot for chocolate as well.
Feifei
我的巧克力才不分給你吃呢。But can I assume a 'soft spot' refers to your large and soft belly you have as a result of eating too many sweet things?
Rob
How dare you! Having a soft spot doesn’t mean having a fat belly – not that I have one anyway. If you have a soft spot for something, it means you have the feeling of really liking something or someone.
Feifei
Right. 原來(lái)，表達(dá) “have a soft spot for someone or something” 的意思是 “十分喜愛(ài)某人或某物”。And it's quite a strong feeling.
Rob
It is. When you have a soft spot for someone it means you have a lot of affection for them. Is there anyone you have a soft spot for, Feifei?
Feifei
Hmm. At the moment, I just have a soft spot for some examples!
Examples
He always had a soft spot for the woman in accounts – and guess what? Now they're getting married!
She has a soft spot for designer shoes. Her cupboard is crammed with hundreds of pairs. Some of them she's never even worn!
She's got a soft spot for her English teacher and keeps buying him presents, and she’s always the first to turn up for his lessons.
Feifei
這里是 BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。這集節(jié)目中教給大家的地道表達(dá)是 “to have a soft spot for someone or something”，它用來(lái)指 “對(duì)某人或某物特別有好感、親切感”。So Rob, you asked if I had a soft spot for someone and I do!
Rob
Oh, go on.
Feifei
He's tall and handsome…
Rob
Oh yes.
Feifei
A little beard…
Rob
Of course…
Feifei
And a natural performer.
Rob
I knew it! You only had to say, Feifei.
Feifei
Yes, it's the great actor, Scott Foley.
Rob
Oh, I see. You have a soft spot for him?
Feifei
I do. And how about you, Rob?
Rob
There's nobody – just doughnuts – soft, round, sweet and squidgy in the middle. What's not to like?
Feifei
Ah, just like you then!
Rob
Ooh, time to go, Feifei. Bye.
Feifei
Bye-bye.
