內(nèi)容簡介
有哪些美食讓你吃了一口就欲罷不能，停不下來？主持人佳瑩帶了一罐她最喜歡的食物——橄欖來到辦公室，她用了一個形象的詞語來形容這些橄欖 “好吃得讓人上癮”，但 Neil 覺得花生更好吃。聽兩個人的對話，學(xué)習(xí)用這個 “地道英語” 詞語來形容美食 “讓人回味無窮”。

大家好，歡迎來到 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。
Neil
… and hello, it’s me, Neil. Jiaying – why are there olives everywhere?
Jiaying
我買了一罐橄欖，特別好吃！所以，我又回到商店里買了一大堆。They’re so moreish!
Neil
More? What do you mean ‘more’? I can see there’s more than normal here – Jiaying, this is ridiculous – there are olives all over my keyboard and seat!
Jiaying
我說的不是 “more”，而是 “moreish, M O R E I S H”。我們用形容詞 “moreish” 表示某樣?xùn)|西 “非常好吃，吃完了還想再吃，讓人回味無窮”。I would offer to share them with you, but they’re so moreish that I want to eat them all!
Neil
First of all, no, thanks – I hate olives. Secondly – we need to tidy up! Thirdly, your example of ‘moreish’ makes sense. So, are you going to help me clean up?
Jiaying
I would but I’m too busy eating these olives. Have I mentioned they’re moreish?
Neil
Only about a thousand times. Seriously, our boss is coming so we need to start cleaning.
Jiaying
OK, OK – I’ll put the olives down and help you clean! We can do that while we listen to these examples.
Examples
That spicy sauce is so moreish – it makes everything taste better!
Have you tried that cake? It’s really moreish.
I need to avoid those moreish sweets! I’m on a diet.
Jiaying
你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。上面，我們介紹了形容詞 “moreish” 的含義和用法。假如一樣食物 “非常美味，讓我們吃了還想再吃”，就可以使用這個形容詞。Neil，你竟然不喜歡橄欖？
Neil
It’s true – but strangely I like olive oil. I usually find savoury things like peanuts really moreish!
Jiaying
沒錯，花生這種食物確實也會讓人吃上癮。Have you tried those new spicy peanuts in the canteen?
Neil
Yes! They’re amazing – and what about those really moreish spicy dips that you can use to make your peanuts even spicier?
Jiaying
Oh – it’s like a taste explosion! They’re so moreish as a combination!
Neil
I’m really hungry now! I think I could eat a bucket full of peanuts!
Jiaying
哎，我也是！好了，我要去食堂搶花生吃了！
Neil
Not if I get there first! Oh, look, an olive!
Jiaying
Where? There’s no olive – you tricked me! Well done – you win this round of the food wars! Bye, Neil!
