Wang Fei: 大家好，歡迎收聽《地道英語》節(jié)目。我是王飛。
Rob: Hello, I'm Rob.
Wang Fei: Did you enjoy the party at the weekend?
周末的party你喜歡嗎？
Rob: Of course and it was good of William to buy all that food and drink – he's a good egg!
當然，好心的William賣了所有要吃的食物和飲料，他是個a good egg!
Wang Fei: A good egg?
Rob: Yes, he's someone who is good to other people and he's generous too!
是的，他對別人很好，也很慷慨。
Wang Fei: 我明白了。當我們說某人是一個 good egg, 也就是說他是一個好人。他們通常對別人好，也很慷慨大方。So you're telling me William is a generous person because he put on a good party?
Rob: Well, not just that. He's reliable as well. He always does what he says he will do, like helping me with the decorating.
不僅如此。他也很值得信賴。他總是言行一致，比如幫助我裝飾。
Wang Fei: 我明白了，good egg 不光是說一個人慷慨大方 generous, 并且值得信賴 reliable. So a good egg is really a nice person to know then?
Rob: Yes, a good egg is an all round good guy.
Wang Fei: 就是大好人，好人一個！Are we really talking about William?!
Rob: Yes.
