Feifei: Hello, welcome to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm Feifei. 大家好，歡迎來到地道美語節(jié)目，我是菲菲。

Diarmuid: And I'm Diarmuid. 我是圣保羅。

Feifei: 你怎么把 a bottle of wine 帶到錄音棚里來了？A bottle of wine 一瓶葡萄酒。

Diarmuid: Oh, I thought we might get thirsty. 哦，我覺得我們可能會口渴。

Feifei: Thirsty! 對不起，我大白天中午的時候可不喝酒。

Diarmuid: Oh, I was only joking. I'm taking the bottle of wine to a dinner party. 哦，我只是開玩笑。我是要帶上酒去參加一個派對。

Feifei: I see. 噢，原來如此。Is one of your friends cooking? 你有朋友做飯嗎？

Diarmuid: No, we're meeting in a restaurant. 不，我們在餐廳聚。

Feifei: And they let you bring your own alcohol? 他們讓你自帶酒水？

Diarmuid: Yes, the restaurant has a BYOB policy. 是的，餐廳是有自帶酒水的規(guī)定。

Feifei: B.Y.O.B. 這個詞是什么意思呢？

Diarmuid: It means Bring Your Own Bottle. 就是自帶酒水的意思。

Feifei: Oh I see. It is an acronym. 這是一個首字母縮略詞。

Diarmuid: Exactly, it is an acronym. The B stands for Bring. The Y stands for Your. The O stands for Own. And the B stands for Bottle. 是的，這是首字母縮略詞。B代表帶來。Y代表你的。O代表自己的。B代表酒杯。

Feifei: 英國有很多餐廳可以讓顧客自帶酒水的嗎？

Diarmuid: Not that many. I wish they did though because it's a lot cheaper than buying alcohol in the restaurant. 不是很多。我希望它們都允許，因為通常餐廳里的比自帶的酒水要貴。

Feifei: A lot cheaper. 便宜多了。

Diarmuid: If I was given the choice, I would always prefer to bring my own bottle. 如果可以選擇，我希望可以自帶酒水。

Feifei: What would these people do if given the choice? 那其他人會怎么選擇呢？

Examples:

I prefer BYOB because I don't drink and I hate splitting the bill at the end of a meal and having to pay for expensive wine that everyone else has been drinking. 我更喜歡自帶水酒，因為我不喜歡在聚會結(jié)束的時候支付別人飲用的酒水費用。

I'm not organised enough for BYOB. I'm happy to pay a little extra if it means I have one less thing to organise. 我沒有安排好自帶水酒，所以我愿意支付稍多一些在餐廳里買，這樣就可以不考慮自帶酒水的問題了。

I'd choose BYOB every time. I mean that way you can always guarantee that you are going to get a wine you like. There's nothing worse than bad house wine. 我每一次都選擇自帶酒水。我是說這樣的話你就可以喝到自己喜歡喝得酒了。沒有什么比喝不好的酒更糟糕的了。

Feifei: So most people seem to prefer BYOB. 所以說大多數(shù)人還是喜歡自帶水酒的。

Diarmuid: Yes, well it is cheaper and we are in a credit crisis. 是的，也更便宜，我們面臨信用危機。

Feifei: Credit crisis 信貸危機。I understand, 確實現(xiàn)在大家都需要精簡開支了。

Diarmuid: On that note, we will have to finish today's programme. I'm heading off to dinner. 就說到這兒了，我們將要結(jié)束今天的節(jié)目，我們要趕去參加聚會了。

Feifei: And to drink your bottle of wine. 和你自己的酒。

Diarmuid: Of course. 當然啦。

Feifei: 感謝大家收聽我們今天BBC英語教學的《地道英語》節(jié)目。
