Li:大家好，我是楊莉，歡迎收聽BBC的《地道英語》節(jié)目。
William:Hi there. I'm William Kremer.
Li:So what's today's word - ?
(Muffled shouting from outside the studio and banging on the door.)
Li:Eh?
William: What on earth is all that hullabaloo about?
(到底為什么喧嘩呢？)
Shouting and banging stops.
Li:Ah... I think it's stopped.
William:What was all of that about? It sounded like there was a crowd of people
outside the studio!
(怎么回事？聽起來錄音間外面有一群人。)
Li: 我不知道是怎么回事... 回頭打聽打聽。不過更讓我疑惑的是你剛才使用了一個(gè)詞，
我從來沒有聽說過...
William:Oh right. And what's that?
Li:你說的是什么 Hulla… 什么什么...?
William:Hullabaloo?
Li:Yes.
William:Ahh, hullabaloo. You spell it H.U.L.L.A.B.A.L.O.O. Hullabaloo. It means a loud noise or commotion.
Li:A loud noise or commotion 一片吵鬧聲。Hullabaloo. 我們?cè)俾犚粋€(gè)相關(guān)的例句。

Example
Woman: I tried to quieten the class down, but there was such a hullabaloo that no-
one could hear me!
Li:在這個(gè)例句里，一位老師說她他試圖讓全班學(xué)生們安靜下來，不過，噪音太大 a hullabaloo 沒人能聽到她的聲音。Is that word used in any other ways,William?
William: Well, the word hullabaloo can imply anger and disapproval.
（hullabaloo能表示憤怒和不滿）
Li:disapproval 表示不滿和反對(duì)的吵鬧聲。
William:Can you imagine lots of people shouting because they're angry? Have a listen to this example:
（你能想象許多人因?yàn)閼嵟泻皢?？聽聽這個(gè)例子）
