Wee
Finn: Welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Finn.
欢迎收听“日常英语”，我是Finn。
Wang Fei: And I'm Wang Fei. So, what English word do we have today?
我是 Wang Fei 。嗯，今天我们会学习什么单词呢？
Finn: Well, Wang Fei, today's English word is actually a Scottish one!
呃，Wang Fei， 今天的单词实际上来自苏格兰语。
Wang Fei: A Scottish phrase on The English We Speak?
英语节目上学习苏格兰语？
Finn: That’s right.
没错。
Wang Fei: Finn, I know you're from Scotland, but this is The English We Speak, not the Scottish!
Finn， 我知道你来自苏格兰，但是这是“日常英语节目”，不是“苏格兰语“节目。
Finn: Not the Scottish I know, but actually, Wang Fei, this is a word that is very widely used.
我知道不是苏格兰语节目，但是，Wang Fei，这个词实际上已经在英语中用得很普遍了。
Wang Fei: Ok, what's the word, then?
行，那你说说是哪个单词呢？
Finn: Today's word is wee.
这个单词就是 “wee”。
Wang Fei: Wii – oh, I know! Isn't that a kind of Japanese game console? Surely that's The Japanese We Speak?!
Wii，我知道那个词，那不是一种日本视频游戏嘛。 我们当真是在说这个词？
Finn: No, not that Wii! That Wii is spelt W-I-I, and the word I mean is spelt W-E-E. And it means… small or little.
不不，不是那个词。 .你说的是wii，是“任天堂”（游戏名），但是我说的是Wee，它的意思是“一点点”“少量”。
Wang Fei: Ok – so that's very nice and easy to remember!
啊，这个词挺好的也易记。
Finn: It is. Quite often, you'll hear it together with the word 'bit'. A wee bit. Listen to these examples.
你说对了。你经常会听到这个词和bit一起用。 A wee bit。我们来听一下这几个例句:
I might be a wee bit late, please just wait for me.
我可能会迟到一小会，请一定要等我。
You're looking a wee bit tired, are you ok?
你看起来有点累，没事吧？
I'm a wee bit hungry, fancy getting a sandwich?
我有点饿，想去吃汉堡吗？
Wang Fei: So a wee bit is just like a little bit. How else can we use this word, Finn?
也就是说，a wee bit 相当于a little bit。 Finn，我们还可以怎样用这个词呢？
Finn: Well a wee bit is probably what you'll hear most often. What do you think it means in this sentence?
嗯，a wee bit也许是你听得最多的。 当用wee被用在这个句子中时，你觉得会是什么意思呢？
When I was wee, I used to love climbing trees!
在我wee的时候，我喜欢爬树。
Wang Fei: When I was wee… is that when I was young?
When I was wee……是“我小的时候”吧？
Finn: That's right – when I was young, when I was wee - though you'll more likely hear Scottish people say this! And there is another phrase using wee which I'm going to tell you in a moment, but first – tell me, what is the most famous Scottish drink, Wang Fei?
没错，那句话的意思就是“当我还是小孩子的时候”，但是这个用法在苏格兰语中要常见一些。 还有另外的一个短语也和wee有关，我等会再告诉你。 现在，Wang Fei ,你可不可以先告诉我苏格兰最著名的酒是什么酒？
Wang Fei: That’s easy – whisky!
简单，威士忌嘛。
Finn: Whisky – yes it is! Do you like whisky?
对了！就是威士忌。你喜欢这种酒吗？
Wang Fei: Oh, yes, but it’s a bit strong, isn’t it! Maybe I would just have a small glass.
喜欢。就是有点烈。 我可能只能喝一小杯。
Finn: Well, we have a word for a glass of whisky, which is a dram.
嗯，我们用a dram来表示“一杯威士忌”。
Wang Fei: A dram.
A dram。
Finn: That’s right, D-R-A-M, a dram.
对了。D-R-A-M，一杯威士忌。
Wang Fei: Mm, a dram.
嗯，一杯威士忌。
Finn: So if you want a small dram, what do you say?
那你要是想说只要“一小杯威士忌”，你该怎么说呢？
Wang Fei: Can I have a wee dram?
我可以只要一小杯威士忌吗？
Finn: Can I have a wee dram – that’s it! Really? Would you like a wee dram, Wang Fei?
猜中了，就是这么说。 是嘛？Wang Fei，你愿意来一小杯威士忌？
Wang Fei: OK, great, yeah!
那感情好呀，当然想啦。
Finn: We're in the studio!
但是我们还在录音室（录音)呢。
Wang Fei: Yes, maybe later!
哦，你说的没错。那就待会再说吧。
Finn: Maybe later! Wang Fei: Well, that's the word for today, wee, W-E-E.
待会再说。 嗯，Wang Fei，这就是今天我们要学的单词，W-E-E。
Finn: If you have time, why not have a wee look at our website!
