William: Hi, I'm William and welcome to Authentic Real English. 威廉，你好。歡迎來到原汁原味英語節目。

Feifei: Ahhh...啊……

William: Feifei? 菲菲，什么事？

Feifei: Don't you think Brad Pitt is lovely? 你也會覺得布拉德·皮特很可愛，對嗎？

William: Brad Pitt? 布拉德·皮特？

Feifei: Yes，he's tall, handsom... and of course an amazing actor. 是的，他很高，很帥……并且還是個了不起的演員。

William: Yeah and I'm sure he's worth a few bob too. 是的，我也確信他會是個有錢人。

Feifei: A few bob? 一些飾品？

William: Yeah I think Brad Pitt is worth a lot of money. Have you got a few bob? 是的，我覺得布拉德·皮特身價很高。你有錢嗎？

Feifei: So a few bob means a large amount of money? 也就是說一些飾品的意思是很多錢嗎？

William: Well，a few bob actually means a small amount of money but it's usually used in an ironic way, to mean a lot of money.
Feifei: A few bob 的意思就是一點兒錢。通常使用這個短語時都帶有諷刺的意味，表示很多錢。

William: Here are some examples. 比如。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: She's has got the brand new phone I want! 她有一個我很想有的新款的手機！
B: Yeah and look at that designer handbag, she definitely looks like she's got a few bob. 是啊，看那只專門設計的手提包，她看上去真得很有錢的樣子。

A: Did you see John's new car? 你見過約翰的新車嗎？
B: Yes, it's amazing! He's definitely not short of a few bob. 是的，很棒！他一定很有錢。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

William: In that last example the speaker said not short of a few bob. 后一個例子中，說話者明明說沒有錢啊。

Feifei: Not short of a few bob 的意思就是他非常富有。

William: Sometimes instead of saying a few bob people will say a bob or two.

Feifei: 有時候我們也可以說 a bob or two 來表示 a few bob。 I definitely think Brad Pitt is worth a bob or two.

William: Feifei, I think you're getting obsessed with Brad Pitt! 菲菲，我覺得你開始迷上布拉德·皮特了！

Feifei: I'm not obsessed 癡迷的！ I just think he's a very good actor! 我只是覺得他是個很好的演員！

William: Yeah yeah yeah! Anyway，back to today's phrase, here is an example using the phrase a bob or two. 對啊！不管怎么樣，回到今天的短語，在用a bob or two來舉個例子。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A: Did you sell your old furniture? 你把你的舊家具買了嗎？
B. Not yet, but I'm hoping to make a bob or two out of it. 還沒有，但是我希望買個好價錢。
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feifei: So William, are you worth a bob or two? 所以，威廉，你有錢沒？

William: I couldn't possibly answer that, Feifei! 菲菲，我不能回答這個問題。
