The script of this programme 本节目台词 Li: Hi Rob. How are you today? Rob: Hello Li. I'm really angry. Li: Why? Rob: Well, because I work very hard, I get results, I do much more than I really should, and nobody notices - I don't get any recognition.
Are warm socks a solution for 'cold feet'? Li: Yes, you do work hard, Rob. You should earn a fortune! Rob: I know. You see, that's it! I'm going to go and see the boss right now! I am going to ask for a pay rise! Li: Good on you, Rob. Right now? Rob: Yes, right now! (brief silence) Li: Rob... you're not going anywhere? Rob: Yes, I know. Li: So what are you waiting for? Rob: Well… actually, I'm getting cold feet. Li: That's no problem at all. Let's see… I have a solution right here… There you go. Take these. Rob: Thick, woolly socks? Li: Yes. Well you should feel warm when talking to a tough boss like ours! Come on, use these. Rob: It's okay.There's nothing wrong with my feet, Li. In English, when we say we've 'got cold feet' we mean we lack the confidence or courage to do something. Li: Oh, I see…. 原来所谓的脚发凉 'cold feet' 意思就是汉语中的腿发软的意思,换句话说就是胆怯了,没有信心和勇气了。 Rob: Yes, I must admit I am a bit. Let's hear some examples of how to use today's expression 'cold feet'.
Rob: So, no need for these socks. But thank you anyway, Li. Li: Maybe next week you can approach the boss and remind him what a good worker you are. Rob: Good idea. Maybe that's the right way to do it. Li: One thing is true: your cold feet saved you from your hot head. Rob: Yes, indeed! Li: Bye-bye. Rob: Bye.
