Gatecrash
Wang Fei: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Wang Fei.
大家好，欢迎来到“日常英语”。我是Wang Fei.
William: And I'm William. Welcome to the program. You look very smart today, Wang Fei.
我是William.欢迎来到日常英语。Wang Fei, 你今天看起来真帅气呀。
Wang Fei: (false modesty) Mm, really? Do you think so?
（假装谦虚），呃，是吗？你真这样觉得？
William: Oh, yeah - very smart. Look at your bow tie! And your evening jacket!
那还用说？瞧你的领结和晚礼服，那叫一个气派！
Wang Fei: Well, this is just a little something I get out every now and then. I'm sure George and Jack and Tom will be wearing something similar.
我偶尔会这样打扮以下啦。 我肯定George, Jack和Tom也会穿这样的衣服。
William: Who? George, Jack and...?
谁？George, Jack 和……?
Wang Fei: (off-hand) Oh yeah, you know. George Clooney, Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise.
（马上回答道）：你知道的， George Clooney, Jack Nicholson 和Tom Cruise（著名演员）
William:What? You're going to see George Clooney and Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise tonight?!
什么，你今晚要去见这几个人？
Wang Fei: Yep. Cannes Film Festival opens tomorrow so I'm going to a little party tonight.
没错。戛纳电影节明天开幕，所以，我今晚会去参加一个小派对。
William: Wow! That's incredible! How did you get a ticket?
哇，太了不起了！你是怎么弄到入场票的？
Wang Fei: Erm... well, I don't have a ticket as such. I'm just going to show up. I'm sure if I'm dressed like this they'll let me in.
呃，我没有票。 我只是去碰碰运气。 他们看我这身打扮，肯定会让我进去的。
William: Right... so basically you're going to gatecrash a celebrity party.
原来如此。也就是说你没有名人聚会的门票但是准备混进去咯？
Wang Fei: Gatecrash? What's that?
Gatecrash?什么意思？
William: To gatecrash a party. It means to go to a party even though you haven't been invited. Let's hear some more examples.
这个词指的是无票入场。 也就是说你没被邀请但是混了进去。 让我们来听一些例子。
Woman A: What was the party like last night?
昨晚的派对怎么样？
Woman B: Oh it was awful! All these kids crashed it and drank all the beer.
糟糕透了。很多年轻人混了进来，把啤酒都喝了。
Man A: How are the preparations going for the party tonight?
今晚的聚会准备工作做得怎样了？
Man B: Yeah, not bad.
还好吧。
Man A: Aren't you worried it might get gatecrashed?
会担心有人不请自来吗？
Man B: Yeah, we’re going to pay a guy to be on the door to stop people coming in.
有点。所以我们聘请了一个人在门口挡住那样的人。
Wang Fei: In the first example, the speaker described a party that was ruined because kids crashed the party. So, to crash a party means to gatecrash a party?
第一个例子里，说话的人提到了一个派对被一群无票入场的年轻了给破坏了。 这里，"crash"等于"gagecrash"咯？
William: Yeah. And in that second example, the speaker said that he was going to pay a guy to be on the door.
正确。在第二例中，说话人即将请人挡在门口。
Wang Fei: 'To be on the door' – so this man will check that everyone who comes in has an invitation. Hmm… do you think that there might be someone on the door at this party tonight?
那个人会挡在门口以确保来的人都有邀请函。 你觉得今晚的派对会有人站在门口这样做吗？
William: The one that you’re going to? Wang Fei: Yes. William: The celebrity one in Cannes with George and Jack and Tom?
你要去的那个派对吗？ 嗯。 就是 George and Jack 和Tom这些名人都会出席的那个吗？
Wang Fei: Yeah.
没错。
William: Yeah, I think, Wang Fei, there might be.
唔，Wang Fei,实话说，可能会呢。
Wang Fei: (crestfallen) Ah!
（一脸沮丧）唉！
William: Well, I tell you what, Wang Fei, my friend's having a birthday party in the pub down the road. Why don't you come to that instead? You'll be a little bit overdressed but I'm sure it will be fun.
别这样，Wang Fei.我朋友今晚在城里的酒吧有个聚会。 去那儿吧。 虽然你看起来穿得有点过，但是你肯定会玩儿得很开心的。
Wang Fei: I was just looking forward to a bit of glamour for a change, with George, Jack and… William: … and Tom, yeah I know. One day, Wang Fei, if you keep making great program with BBC Learning English then I’m sure that one day you’ll be mixing it with George and Jack and Tom. Wamg Fei,
本来一位这次可以做点不同的事，沾沾这些人的光呢：George, Jack 还有…… 还有Tom.我明白的啦。 努力点把咱们的节目做好吧。这样的话将来某一天你一定能和这些人成为朋友的。
Wang Fei: But for now, I’ll have to be happy with the pub. Again. Bye. William: Bye!
但现在，还是老样子去酒吧找点乐子吧。再见咯！ 再见。
