The english we speak(BBC教學) 第6期:It's doing my head in真讓人受不了
Jennifer: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. My name is Jennifer and Li is with me here in the studio.
詹妮弗：大家好，歡迎來到“我們所說的英語”。我叫詹妮弗。在這兒和我一起的是小李。
Li: Hello everyone. What have you.been doing this morning, Jen?小李：大家好！詹妮弗，你今天早晨在做什麼？
Jennifer: Oh I've been playing on this great new game on my smartphone. It's a puzzle where you have to find matching pictures of fruit. Now it sounds easy, but it's really addictive.
詹妮弗：噢，我一直在玩我智能手機上的這個新遊戲。這是一個拼圖遊戲，在裏面你必須找到相應的水果的圖片。這聽起來很容易，但實際上真的很讓人上癮。
Li: I love puzzles like this, especially when they're really addictive. Can I have a go?小李：我喜歡這樣的拼圖遊戲，特別是當它們引人上癮的時候。我可以試試嗎？
Jennifer: Yes, you can. In fact, I'm stuck on level 33. I can't complete it at all. Why don't you see if you can do it for me? It's doing my head in!詹妮弗：當然可以。事實上，我卡在第33級了。我完全完不成。要不你看看能不能幫我吧。真讓人受不了。
Li: OK, give it to me and I'll see what I can do. Jen said that the computer game is 'doing her head in'. If something is 'doing your head in', it means it is frustrating or annoying.小李：好啊。交給我吧我來看看。詹妮弗剛纔說這個電腦遊戲讓她受不了。如果某事“讓你受不了”，這表示這件事很令人疲憊，或者很令人厭煩。
Jennifer: It's a phrase which is often used by young people, it's a slang phrase. Let's hear some examples of how you might use it:詹妮弗：這是一個年輕人常用的短語。這是個俚語短語。讓我們來看一些例子，來看看我們怎麼用這個單詞：
(shouting) Can you please turn that music down? It's so loud and it's really doing my head in!（叫喊着）你能不能把音樂關小點兒，那麼吵真是受不了。
I've done all my maths homework, except question two. I can't work out the answer and it's really doing my head in.我做完了所有的數學作業，除了第二題。我實在算不出來，真是讓我受不了。
I hate it when people drop litter in the street - it does my head in to see so much rubbish everywhere.我討厭別人在街上亂扔垃圾。看到到處都是那麼多的垃圾我真的受不了。
Jennifer: So the computer game is doing my head in because I find it difficult. It's frustrating.詹妮弗：這電腦遊戲真是讓我受不了因爲我覺得太難了，令人疲憊。
Li: You can also say that people are doing your head in, if they annoy you in some way.小李：你也可以說別人讓你受不了，如果他們以某種方式煩擾你。
I don't want to invite Sonia to the Christmas party. She gossips all the time. She really does my head in.我不想邀請索尼婭來聖誕派對。她就知道講八卦，真是讓人受不了。
Jennifer: So 'doing your head in' is a really useful phrase to know, wouldn't you agree, Li?詹妮弗：所以“讓人受不了”真是一個很有用的短語，你覺得呢，小李？
Li: (ignoring Jen but playing computer game) Yes! Yes!小李：（無視詹妮弗的話，繼續玩遊戲）太棒了！
Jennifer: Li, I said: 'doing your head in is a really useful phrase'.詹妮弗：小李，我剛纔說“‘讓人受不了’真是一個有用的短語。”
Li: (still playing the game) Hang on... If I can just match these pictures... Yes! Level 34!小李：（依舊在玩遊戲）等等，只要我能拼完這些圖。。。太棒了，第34級！
Jennifer: Li, it's been five hours. I need my phone back now.詹妮弗：小李，四個小時了，我現在要拿回我的手機了。
Li: But I'm on to level 79 - just let me get to level 80 and I'll give it back to you.小李：但我現在在79級，我玩到80級就還給你。
Jennifer: Oh Li, you're really doing MY head in. Join us again for another edition of The English We Speak from BBC Learning English. Bye!詹妮弗：噢，小李，你真是讓我受不了。加入我們下一期的BBC學英語之“我們所說的英語”。再見！
