John: Hello there, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm John. Feifei: And I'm Feifei. John: The English language is changing all the time, and Real English is your chance to hear the most up-to-date words and phrases that you probably won't find in your dictionary. Feifei: 今天我们要学习的词是 lippy，如果你对一个人总是很 lippy 的话，意思就是说你这个人总是顶嘴。Lippy 爱顶嘴的, 出言不逊的。 John: If you talk back to a teacher, or if you are rude to them, then you might be accused to being lippy. The word derives from the lips where you form your words. Feifei: John, have you been lippy to anyone? John: I think I used to be quite lippy when I was at school. I was always saying things back to the teacher when I wasn't supposed to. Feifei: But you're not too lippy these days? John: Well, I can't afford to be lippy with my boss at work, I might lose my job! Feifei: 原来 John 是怕被炒鱿鱼呀！我们来听听下面的对话是怎么说的。 Insert A: I've already told you not to be rude. B: Yeah yeah, you're not so polite yourself! A: You're really lippy! B: Me? lippy? No, you are! Feifei: 上面我们听到的就是一个非常典型的和上级顶嘴的对话。Lippy 爱顶嘴的。John, being lippy could get you into lots of trouble, couldn't it? John: See you next time. Feifei: Bye for now. *Please note that this script is not a word for word transcript of the programme as broadcast.
