You've changed your tune
Li: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is Yang Li.
大家好！欢迎收听地道英语。 我是Yang Li。
William: (mouth full) And I'm William, mmf, mmf.
（嘴巴里满是东西）我是William。（吃东西的声音）
Li: My dear co-presenter William! Don't you know it's rude to speak with your mouth full? Particularly in a BBC audio programme!
我亲爱的主持拍档，William! 你难道不知道一边吃东西一边说话是非常没礼貌的吗？ 特别是在录制BBC节目的时候！
William: (smacking lips) Well, I do know that but I've really been enjoying this super jumbo hamburger. Wow, that was so good. I just can't get enough of super jumbo hamburgers recently.
（咂咂嘴）呀，我还真不知道呢。只是最近我都在吃巨无霸汉堡。 哇，太美味了。 这些天我怎么也吃不厌。
Li: Oh? So what is it about super jumbo hamburgers that you like so much?
哦？到底是什么让你对巨无霸汉堡这么着迷的呢？
William: Well, good question Li. I think it might be the delicious 100% beef burger and how the flavours merge with the sauce, which is made to a carefully-guarded recipe. But then again I like the lovely gherkins and the crisp crunchy lettuce. But also let's not forget the layers of soft yellow cheese. Maybe it's all of those things. Hmmm. I think I could have another actually.
问得好，Li。 我觉得应该是汉堡中百分百的美味牛肉，以及根据秘方调成的香料和酱汁。 话说回来，我也喜欢可爱的小黄瓜和鲜脆的生菜。 哦，还有那一层层酥软的黄奶油。 也许就是这些东西吧。 唔，我觉得我还能再吃一个。
Li: Well Will, all I can say is: you have changed your tune.
呵，Will，我想说的是，“you have changed your tune”（你的态度全变了）。
William: Hmm... That's an interesting phrase, Li. Shall we make it our phrase of the day?
唔，这个表达挺有趣的，Li, 不如我们今天就教这个句子吧。
Li: Sure, why not?
行呀。
If you change your tune, you change your attitude towards something or someone.
说某人改变了他的tune(调调)，言下之意是在说，他改变了对某种事物的看法。
William: It's a slightly critical phrase, but in a jokey sort of way. Let's hear another example:
这个是个稍微有点严肃但是以玩笑的口吻说出来的表达。 来听一下另外的例子。
Girl 1: What do you think about Mark? Don't you think he's really good-looking?
你觉得Mark怎么样？ 你难道不觉得他真的很帅吗？
Girl 2: Mark? I thought you hated him?
Mark吗？我还以为你讨厌他呢。
Girl 1: That was last week. This week, I feel very different...
那是上个星期的事情。 这周，我感觉不一样了。
Girl 2: Wow, you've certainly changed your tune!
哇，你还真是改变了你的态度呢。
Li: Hmmm. I have to say I don't think I change my tune very often.
唔，我得说，我可不是能轻易改变态度的那种人呀。
William: Well, I'm sure that's true but we don't generally use the phrase to talk about ourselves. We tend to always say: "You've changed your tune" or "You've certainly changed your tune." And we say it like this: "You've changed your tune".
嗯，我相信你是这样的。但是我们通常不把这个表达用在我们自己身上。 我们偏向于这么用“你的态度不一样了呀。”或者“你还当真改变了你的态度呢。” 我们像这样说（注意语气）“你的态度还真不一样了呢。”
Li: OK. And you have certainly changed your tune, William, about super jumbo hamburgers.
嗯，William，你自己对巨无霸汉堡的态度也完全转变了呢。
William: No... I've always loved those things!
才没，我一直都很爱这类东西的。
Li: No, trust me, Will. Hang on... Here you go. Two weeks ago you said this: "I hate super jumbo hamburgers. The meat is like low-grade frozen cardboard, the cheese is like plastic and the tomatoes are like rubber. After I eat one I just want to curl up in bed." That's what you said!
才怪！信我，Will, 你等一下…… 找到了， 两个星期之前你是这样说的：“我讨厌巨无霸汉堡。” 你说“里面的肉像是劣质冰冻的纸板。奶酪像塑料，土豆像橡胶皮”。 你说你吃了一个之后恶心得想躺在床上。 你那样说了！
William: Oh, right. Well, I guess they must have grown on me.
好吧好吧。也许我习惯了爱上它了吧。
Li: What a change of tune, from William, the burger hater to William, the burger lover!
态度180度转变啊。原来讨厌汉堡的William变成了汉堡爱好者了。
