Head over heels
Neil: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Neil and … I am waiting for Li.
大家好！欢迎收听地道英语！ 我是Neil，正在等Li。
Li: Ouch. I'm Li, here on the floor. I went head over heels but…but I'm ready to present the programme, Neil.
哎呀。 我是Li。在地板上躺着呢。 我摔了个四脚朝天，但是我想我已经准备好主持节目了，Neil。
Neil: Are you okay, Li? Let me help you up. Li: Thank you. I appreciate you helping me to stand up.
你没事吧，Li？ 让我帮你站起来。 谢谢。 感谢你帮我站起来。
Neil: I am sorry that you fell over like that. You sounded so cheerful… so you are head over heels Li? Who is the lucky guy?
真不忍心看你摔成这样。 你听起来心情很好的样子啊，Li,你有点神魂颠倒呀。 谁是那个幸运的家伙？
Li: The lucky guy? What do you mean, Neil?
那个幸运的家伙？ 你什么意思，Neil？
Neil: Well, the one you are head over heels in love with. Is it anyone I know?
哈，就是那个让你爱得神魂颠倒的人啊。 是我认识的人吗？
Li: Anyone you know? I don't know what you are talking about, Neil. I have just fallen flat on my face…
你认识的人？ Neil，我听不懂你在说什么？ 我刚摔了个狗吃屎呢……
Neil: You said that you are head over heels. This is an expression we use in English to say that you had such a dramatic fall that your head was over your feet and we use it when we want to say that someone fell madly in love.
可是你说你“head over heels”了呀。 这个表达在英语里表示狠狠地摔了一跤，跌了个四脚朝天，也可以用来表示某人疯狂地陷入了爱河！
Li: Oh, that's when we say that someone has fallen head over heels for another person. Neil: You can also imagine you are a gymnast doing somersaults or cartwheels. Your head goes literally over your heels. Li: Yeah…It makes sense: when you are in love it might mean that you are so happy that you feel like jumping around. Examples：They met at a dinner party and fell head over heels for each other.
哦，疯狂爱上某人的时候也可以这样说啊。 你也可以想象自己是体操员，正翻筋斗和做侧手翻。 会呈头朝下脚朝上的状态。 嗯，说得通呢：陷入恋爱时，也许你会开心到想到处跳呢。 例句：他们是在一场晚宴派对上认识的然后疯狂爱上对方了。
He is gorgeous! I am head over heels in love with him!
他真的很不错！ 我简直为他神魂颠倒。
She is a hopeless romantic: she is always head over heels in love with somebody.
她简直浪漫得不可救药：总是在为某个人神魂颠倒。
Neil: So, who is it Li? Who have you fallen head over heels in love with? I promise I won't tell a soul.
话说回来，到底是谁呢，Li？ 让你为之神魂颠倒的人是谁呢？ 我发誓不对任何人说。
Li: Neil, I came here very excited to present a programme with you but I must say that now my head hurts… Neil: Your head hurts? Li: … my feet are sore… Neil: Your feet are sore? What's been going on?
Neil,要来和你一起主持节目之前我是非常兴奋的，但是现在我得说，我的头痛得不行。 你头疼？ 我的脚也酸痛。 你的脚酸痛？ 到底怎么回事儿啊？
Li: … but I am certainly not in love with this bin that made me fall over. Neil: Oh… Okay. So no juicy gossip for us today. Well, we'd better say goodbye.
但是我得说，这一跤可没让我产生爱意。 哦，好吧。 也就是说今天没有什么刺激的八卦跟我们分享咯？ 那，最好还是说拜拜吧。
Li: No juicy gossip! And let's finish the programme because I'd better go and have an aspirin. Bye!
没有八卦猛料 结束节目吧，因为我得去吃一片阿司匹林。 再会！
