Hello there! And today we’ve got six minutes to talk about honesty and how honest people are – particularly when it comes to spending money. So Neil – what’s an honesty box’?
大家好!今天我们谈论的话题是诚实,以及人们有多诚实,尤其是涉及到金钱消费的时候。尼尔,什么是诚实箱?
Well, it’s where you pay for something by putting money in a box – but it’s up to you to put in the right amount.A small business might use this method to take money for things like parking your car or buying a newspaper because it means you don’t need a sales assistant.
这个嘛,就是你买东西的时候用来收款的箱子——但是钱的数量放得对不对就看消费者自己了。一些小本生意会用这种方式收款,比如停车费、买报纸,因为这些都不需要专门的导购员。
But that means people could take a newspaper or park their car without paying anything!An honesty box relies on people being honest. The adjective honest means truthful and not trying to cheat people.
但这也意味着人们可以买报纸或停车都不付钱!诚实箱完全依赖于消费者的诚实度。形容词honest的意思是真诚的、不欺骗别人。
And the noun is honesty – the quality of being truthful. Have you ever cheated an honesty box, Rob?
honesty是它的名词。意思是真诚的品质。罗布,你有没有欺骗过诚实箱?
Absolutely not! I’ve never have!
绝对没有,我从不这么做!
Honestly?
真的?
Honestly! And to cheat, by the way, means to trick or deceive someone to get something you want. Honesty is the best policy, as they say…
真的不能再真!顺便说一下,cheat意思是哄骗或欺骗别人得到你想要的东西。俗话说的好,诚实是做人之本。
Which of course leads us on to our quiz.
这就来到我们的小问答环节了。
The 6 minute English quiz! Who said ‘honesty is the best policy’? Was it…a) Donald Trump b) Benjamin Franklin or c) Richard Nixon?
6分钟小测验!“诚实是做人之本”这句话是谁说的?A 唐纳德·特朗普 B 本杰明·富兰克林 C 理查德·尼克松
Honestly, Neil! Everyone will know the answer to that.
老实说,尼尔,每个人都知道答案是什么。
But do you know the answer to that, Rob?
那你知道吗,罗布?
Well, I’ll have an honest guess. I think it’s b) Benjamin Franklin.
呃,我会诚实地猜一猜。我觉得是B 本杰明·富兰克林。
Well, you might be right, but you might not – we’ll find out at the end. I did like your use of ’honestly’ there, Rob.We can use the adverb ’honestly’ at the beginning of a sentence to show that we’re feeling irritated – for example when your co-presenter picks a quiz question that’s too easy!
嗯,你的答案有可能正确,但也有可能错误。我们会在节目最后揭晓。罗布,我很喜欢你刚才的honestly的用法。我们可以在句子开头用这个词表达一种被惹恼的情绪,比如当你的搭档选了一个太简单的测验题。
OK, OK, let’s move on now and hear from Philip Graves, a psychologist, and author of the book Consumerology, who can tell us about why honesty isn’t always the best policy.
OK, OK.我们接着往下看,听听心理学家菲利普·格雷弗斯的看法。他曾写过一本书叫做《消费者学问》,他在书中告诉我们,为什么诚实不是做人之本。
