Wang Fei: 大家好，歡迎收聽《地道英語》節(jié)目。我是王飛。

William: Hello, I'm William Kremer.

Wang Fei: William, this could be my last ever Authentic Real English!

William: What? Are you pregnant?

Wang Fei: William, 男人怎么會(huì)懷孕？你今天怎么會(huì)問這么蠢的問題？

William: Oh yes, yes, yes, men can't get pregnant! So why might this be your last ever Authentic Real English, Wang Fei?
是的，男人不能懷孕。那你為什么說這可能是你最后一次主持地道英語節(jié)目？

Wang Fei: 是這樣的，我有了一個(gè)非常好的做生意的主意，我想回北京開一家英語出租車公司。所有的司機(jī)都會(huì)說英語，乘客可以在乘車去賓館的路上和司機(jī)用英語聊天，當(dāng)然他們要多花一點(diǎn)兒錢。What do you think? It's a great idea isn't it?

William: I think... it's got legs.

Wang Fei: What?

William: I think your idea has legs.

Wang Fei: Oh no, William, it's got wheels. It's a taxi company; it's not a walking company!
William，車有輪子，是出租車公司。而不是步行的公司。

William: No, no. You misunderstand me, Wang Fei. If someone says that an idea has legs that means that he or she thinks it's a good idea; it could work. Let's hear another example.
不，不，你誤解我了。如果有人說an idea has legs，那是說他或她認(rèn)為那是個(gè)很好的注意，主意課行。我們來聽個(gè)例子。
--------------
Example

Let's meet with the team next week. And if we come up with an idea that's got legs we should be prepared to run with it.
我們下周和那個(gè)對(duì)相遇，如果我們能想出好主意，我們應(yīng)該準(zhǔn)備全力支持。

--------------
William: So in that example we heard where this phrase might have come from. If you run with an idea, you give it more time and thought and maybe money.
在哪個(gè)例子中，我們聽到這個(gè)短語來自哪里。如果你支持一個(gè)想法，你會(huì)花費(fèi)更多時(shí)間、想法和金錢在上面。

Wang Fei: To run with an idea 意思是花費(fèi)更多時(shí)間、想法和金錢在上面。我們?cè)俾犚槐閯偛诺睦洹?/P>

--------------
Example

Let's meet with the team next week. And if we come up with an idea that's got legs we should be prepared to run with it.
我們下周碰面吧，如果我們想到好主意，我們就要準(zhǔn)備去支持那個(gè)點(diǎn)子。

--------------
William: So, your English-speaking taxi idea has legs, Wang Fei. So let's run with it for a minute.
所以，如果你想的開一家說英語的出租車公司很不錯(cuò)。我們來支持一分鐘吧。

Wang Fei: Yes, let's do it!

William: So where are you going to get your taxi drivers from? Are you going to teach Beijing taxi drivers to speak really good English or are you going to teach foreign English teachers to drive in China?
那你從哪兒雇四級(jí)呢？你自己去教北京四級(jí)說流利的英語還是讓外國(guó)老師在中國(guó)開車？

Wang Fei: Well, that's a good question...

William: And how much are you going to pay these drivers?

Wang Fei: Er...

William: And how much are you going to charge your customers?

Wang Fei: Well... 看來關(guān)于這個(gè)商業(yè)計(jì)劃我需要和你好好談一談！我們必須先結(jié)束今天的節(jié)目了。不過請(qǐng)不要忘了登錄我們的網(wǎng)站聽更多的地道英

語表達(dá)。我們的網(wǎng)址是...

William: www.bbcukchina.com. Goodbye!

Wang Fei: Bye!
