你喜歡輕松自在的感覺(jué)嗎?有哪些地方或人會(huì)讓你感到很放松?在英語(yǔ)中,可以使用名詞 “vibe” 來(lái)表示 “一個(gè)地方、一首歌的氛圍或一個(gè)人所散發(fā)出的氣質(zhì)”。聽(tīng)主持人 Roy 和佳瑩在節(jié)目中介紹這個(gè)地道英語(yǔ)詞語(yǔ)的用法。

大家好,歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。我是佳瑩。
Roy
… and me, Roy. What are you doing? You look really relaxed! Shouldn’t you be working?
Jiaying
I am working! I’m just enjoying the chilled vibe of working from home!
Roy
Chilled vibe? Is that some kind of juice?
Jiaying
No, Roy! 我剛剛說(shuō)到的這個(gè)詞 “vibe” 和果汁無(wú)關(guān),它表示 “事物的氛圍,比如一個(gè)地方的環(huán)境氣氛或者一首歌曲給人帶來(lái)的感覺(jué)”,也可以指 “人散發(fā)出的氣質(zhì)”。舉個(gè)例子,如果某物 “has a good vibe”,意思就是 “氣氛好,很有氛圍”;如果某人 “has a good vibe”,就是說(shuō)這個(gè)人 “給你的感覺(jué)不錯(cuò),在一起覺(jué)得很開(kāi)心、很放松”。
Roy
Ah… for example, that online concert we went to had a really good vibe!
Jiaying
說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)!這下你會(huì)用了吧!
Roy
Yeah – you can listen to calming music or play a game to relax – things that have a good vibe!
Jiaying
Exactly! We can talk about how to improve our vibe after these examples.
Examples
Derek has such a good vibe! Everyone who speaks with him just feels so chilled out!
That place has got a really bad vibe. When I walk into the building, I get really anxious and stressed.
I’m so happy after watching that film. It was such a nice story and had a really chilled vibe!

你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。以上,我們給大家介紹了名詞 “vibe” 的意思。“Vibe” 指 “氛圍,給人帶來(lái)的感覺(jué)”。補(bǔ)充一下,我們可以用搭配 “vibe check” 來(lái)打聽(tīng)一個(gè)場(chǎng)所的氣氛如何,或者詢問(wèn)某人的情緒狀態(tài)怎么樣。So, Roy – what sort of things can you do to improve your mood and vibe?
Roy
Well, like I said, watching films or listening to music that chill you out can help. Or, speaking to people who have a good vibe! I also try to avoid things that have a bad vibe! For me, I like to try and improve myself every day!
Jiaying
What, like exercising or reading a book?
Roy
Exactly! I try to go to bed every day better than when I woke up by learning something new. An improved Roy every day, and that vibe can affect other people too! It’s especially important for me to think this way after a year like this!
Jiaying
I agree! So, can I get a vibe check? How are you feeling, Roy?
Roy
I’m feeling chilled out! I’ve got a good vibe!
Jiaying
You certainly do! Bye, Roy.
Roy
Bye.
