就像我一样。
What do you mean, ’like me’?
像你一样？什么意思？
Well, I go all out to get my clothes and hair just right for 6 Minute English.
我为了六分钟英语专门去挑了衣服整理了发型。
Yes, and, well... you look great, Rob. But unfortunately nobody sees us… do they?
是的，呃，你看上去很不错，罗布。但不幸的是，没有人能看到我们，不是吗？
Yes, good point. But it’s important to make an effort.
扎心了。但努力还是很重要的。
So have you had any thoughts about the sort of funeral you would like to have?
所以，你对自己想办什么样的葬礼有主意了吗？
Oooh… Yes, I like the thought of my friends and family saying their final goodbyes to me on a beach with a beautiful sunset, listening to Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin…
哦，是的。我想让我的亲朋好友在日落的海边对我最后说一句再见，聆听Led Zeppelin的“天国的阶梯”……
OK, well, before you get too carried away with ideas for your own funeral, let’s have the answer to today’s quiz question.
好了，在你为自己的葬礼设想而得意忘形之前，我们来看看今天小测验的答案吧！
To get carried away means to get very excited and lose control of your feelings! I never thought I would get excited about my own funeral… But anyway – yes, back to today’s question! How many of us would like our funerals to be more of a party or celebration? Is it… a) 5%, b) 25%, or c) 50%?
To get carried away意思是过于兴奋而忘记控制自己的情绪。我从来没想过我会为了自己的葬礼而兴奋……总之，回到今天的问题。有多少人会希望自己的葬礼成为一个派对或庆典呢？A 5% B 25% C 50%。
And I said 25%.
然后我说25%。
No, it’s actually 50%. The market research company ICN found that half of us here in the UK would prefer something different to the traditional funeral.
错了，是50%。市场调查公司ICN发现超过半数英国人想让自己的葬礼有别于传统葬礼。
More than I expected. OK, shall we look back at the words we have learned today?
好吧，比我想象的要多。我们来回顾一下今天的单词吧？
Yes. First up – ’funeral’ – a ceremony we hold for a dead person. The plural is funerals – "Fancy dress funerals aren’t everybody’s cup of tea."The adjective is – funereal – notice the stress on the second syllable – "Who chose this funereal music? Can we change it to something more cheerful?"
好的。第一个funeral，为逝者举办的典礼。复数是funerals。不是所有人都喜欢“fancy dress”funerals。形容词是funereal，注意中音放在第二个音节上，“谁选的葬礼音乐？能不能换一首更欢快的？”
’Not my cup of tea’ by the way, is something you don’t enjoy doing.
顺便解释一下，not my cup of tea是指你不喜欢的东西。
OK – ’ceremony’ – a formal event performed on special occasions.
ceremony是指特殊场合的正式活动。
I didn’t go to my sister’s graduation ceremony.
“我没有去姐姐的毕业典礼。”
In the UK, the opening of Parliament is a ceremonious occasion. Ceremonious is the adjective.
“在英国，国会开幕是非常隆重的场合。”ceremonious是形容词。
Number three – ’fancy dress’ is special clothing you wear to an event – for example, to look like a famous person or character from a movie.
第三个，fancy dress是你参加活动时穿的特殊服装。比如，为了看起来像某个名人或电影角色。
I’ve been invited to a fancy dress party.
我受邀参加一个化装派对。
Who are you going to go as, Rob?
那罗布你要扮成谁去呢？
It’s a secret, Neil!
这是个秘密，尼尔！
Number four – ‘costume’ – a set of clothes you wear to look like somebody else. "Rob is going to go to the fancy-dress party in a Superman costume."
第四个，costume，一套穿上之后看起来像别人的衣服。“罗布要穿着超人的衣服去参加化装派对。”
Good guess. Right. Number five – ’to go all out’ means to make a big effort.
猜对了！第五个，to go all out意思是尽最大的努力。
"We went all out this year with our Christmas decorations – with a life-size flashing Santa Claus and sleigh."
“为了今年的圣诞节装饰品，我们尽全力做了一个真人大小的闪光的圣诞老人和雪橇。”
Way to go, Neil! Number six – the phrasal verb ’to get carried away’ – means to get very excited and lose control of your feelings!
加把劲尼尔！第六个，动词短语to get carried away，意思是过于兴奋而忘记控制情绪。
"She got carried away and painted the whole house pink."
“她激动地不能自己，把整个房子都涂成了粉色。”
That must be Barbie’s house…
那应该是芭比娃娃的房子吧……
Yup – and fancy dress is definitely Barbie’s cup of tea! OK, that’s all for today.But please remember to check out our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages.
是的，化装服绝对是芭比娃娃们的最爱。OK，这就是今天的全部内容了。记得访问我们的Instagram，Twitter，Facebook，以及Youtube主页哦。

拜拜！
