通过新闻中的故事我们来学习一些词汇，我是Alice，今天和我一起讨论的是Rob。你好，Rob。
Hi Alice.
你好 Alice。
Now, Rob I have a question for you. Any idea what an ear worm is?
Rob，我有一个问题要问你。你知道耳蠕虫是什么吗？
Eugh – an ear worm. It sounds like a nasty bug that burrows into your ear.
额，耳蠕虫。听起来像是令人讨厌的蠕虫通过挖洞钻入你的耳朵。
I think you’re thinking of an earwig. That’s a little black insect. I don’t think it necessarily burrows into people’s ears though thank goodness!
我认为你想到的是一种小虫，这是种小小的黑色昆虫。谢天谢地我不认为它一定会通过洞穴钻入人的耳朵！
Well that’s a relief! So what’s an ear worm then?
好呀，真令人宽慰！那么什么是耳蠕虫呢？
It might help if I give you an example. Here’s one you may know. Excuse my singing. (Alice sings a tune)When I hear this little phrase of music it sticks in my head all day.
我给你举个例子可能会有帮助。这是一个你可能知道的例子。抱歉我的歌声。（Alice唱了一曲） 当我听到这段音乐它就一直在我心头环绕。
I see. An ear worm is a tune, a piece of music you can’t get out of your head.That’s always happening to me. I hear a song on the radio and then I keep singing it all day!
明白了。耳蠕虫是一种曲调，一段你不能从脑海中赶走的音乐。对我来说，这种情况经常发生。我在电台听到一首歌，然后我就能一直哼一天！
I know the feeling. And the tune I was singing – do you recognise it? It’s long been associated with the BBC World Service. But do you know what it’s called Rob? Is it:a) Lilliputb) Lillypadc) Lillibolero
我懂这种感觉。我刚才哼的那段小调，你知道它吗？它一直和BBC世界服务联系在一起。但是你知道它叫做什么吗？LilliputLillypadLillibolero
I think I know what it’s called – but I don’t know why! And I’ll leave it to you, listeners, to make your own guesses.
我想我知道叫什么，但是我不知道为什么！我把这个问题留给你，让你自己猜。
And as usual we’ll find out what the answer is at the end of the programme. Now let’s find out more about ear worms.Psychologists have been doing some research into what makes a particular bit of music so catchy.
像往常一样，在节目的最后我们公布答案。现在我们了解更多关于耳蠕虫的信息。心理学家曾做过一些关于是什么使一段特别的音乐如此朗朗上口的研究。
Catchy – that’s a nice word. It means something that you can catch easily. Like the flu?
Catchy——多么美好的一个词。意思是一些你能够轻松接近的东西，比如流感？
Ha ha. Yes you can catch a cold or the flu, but a catchy piece of music means it is very easy to learn, and it sticks in your head for a long time. Here’s musician Terry Dobson with some good examples of catchy tunes:
哈哈！是的，你可以接近一场感冒或流感，但是一段容易让人接近的音乐意味着它很容易学会，很容易黏在你的脑海中很长一段时间。这里是音乐家Terry Dobson 列举的关于一些朗朗上口的音乐片段。
Even in the film industry - just a few notes, five notes – Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Jaws and 007 – only a few notes but those notes, you’ve only to hear them played by any instrument and you know instantly what the tune is.
