A couple of smackers.
几块钱就行了。
You’re sounding strange today, Alice.
你今天说话真奇怪。
Yes, I know, Neil. Slang – or informal language used by a particular group – is the subject of today’s show,and I was just demonstrating a couple of slang words that mean money. Dosh is a general term for money and a smacker is a British pound or US dollar.
我知道，尼尔。俚语，某一特殊群体使用的非正式语言，是今天节目的主题。我刚刚就是展示了俚语中是怎么表示钱的。Dosh是钱的统称，smacker是指英镑或美元。
OK, so Cockney Rhyming Slang is a type of slang.It’s a coded language invented in the 19th Century by Cockneysso they could speak in front of the police without being understood.And still on the subject of money, I have a question for you, Alice.
老伦敦的押韵俚语也是俚语的一种。这是伦敦人19世纪发明的一种代码语言。这样他们能在警察面前说话而不被听懂说了什么。继续钱这个主题，我有一个问题要问你。
OK.
好的。
What’s Cockney Rhyming Slang for money?Is it…a) bread?b) honey?Or c) dough?
老伦敦的押韵俚语中用什么表示钱？a) 面包？b)蜂蜜？还是c)生面团？
I think it’s a) bread.I bet you didn’t know, Neil, that I’m a Cockney.
我选a) 面包。我打赌你不知道我是伦敦人。
I don’t Adam and Eve it, Alice! That’s a pork pie!
我不信！你说谎！
Adam and Eve means believe and pork pie means… lie! Actually, you’re right. I’m not a Cockney.
Adam and Eve是指相信，pork pie是指谎言。事实上你说得对。我不是伦敦人。
To be considered a Cockney, you need to be born within hearing distance of the bells of St Mary-le-Bow church in what is now the City of London.
要想被认为是伦敦人，你得出生在能听到波教堂钟声的地方，也就是伦敦市。
Indeed. Now, slang, as we’ve said, is colloquial – or informal – language.And it’s characteristic of specific social groups.We usually use it in informal conversation rather than in writing or more formal situations, like a job interview.
没错，我们所说的俚语是一种白话，也就是非正式的语言。是特殊社会群体的特征。我们通常在非正式对话中使用俚语，在写作或更加正式的场合，如面试时都不用俚语。
We change the way we speak so that what we say is appropriate for a particular situation.So you surprised me, earlier, Alice, by talking about dosh and smackersbecause it didn’t seem appropriate for presenting the show.
我们改变我们说话的方式，以便在特殊场合言语得体。你之前提到dosh和smackers真的吓到我了。因为节目中不适合说这些俚语。
Slang use is often frowned upon – or disapproved of. Let’s listen to Jonathan Green, a lexicographer of slang, talking about who uses slang and how this has changed. Here he is on the Radio 4 programme Word of Mouth.
俚语总是被反对使用。我们听听词典编纂者Jonathan Green谈论谁会使用俚语，俚语发生了怎样的改变。他在4套节目《口口相传》做客。
Slang does have a bad reputation and I would say this comes from its earliest collection, which was of criminal slang in the 1500s in the 16th century, and it was associated with bad people, and inevitably that has lingered.But now in the last 40 or 50 years it’s changed.The definitions tend to stress different and jocular, funny, humorous, inventive, that kind of thing.
