William: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. My name is William Kremer.
威廉：大家好，歡迎收聽地道英語節目。我是威廉·克萊默。
Li: I'm Yang Li.
莉：我是楊莉。
William: Li, do you mind if we don't look at a phrase today?
威廉：莉，我們今天不學習短語，你介意嗎？
Li: Don't look at a phrase? So what do you want to do today instead?
莉：不學習短語？那你今天想做什么呢？
William: Erm, nothing actually. I've got to go and meet a friend at the airport.
威廉：嗯，實際上也沒什么。我要去機場接一個朋友。
Li: So what are you saying, William? That you don't have time for today's programme?
莉：威廉，你在說什么？你沒有時間主持今天的節目了嗎？
William: Is that all right?
威廉：這樣行嗎？
Li: Oh well...
莉：哦……
William: Well, thanks Li! I'm just going to bounce.
威廉：嗯，謝謝你，莉！我要離開了。
Li: Hey, William, wait, wait! What do you mean? What did you say just now?
莉：嘿，威廉，等等！你是什么意思？你剛剛說了什么？
William: I'm just going to bounce; I'm going to leave.
威廉：我要離開了；我要走了。
Li: I think we need to hear another example of that phrase.
莉：我想我們需要聽聽這個短語的其他例子。
Man: Hey Tom-where are you going? The party's just getting started!
男：嗨，湯姆，你要去哪啊？派對馬上就要開始了！
Man 2: Ah sorry dude, I gotta bounce. I'm on an early shift tomorrow.
男2：啊，抱歉，伙計，我要走了。我明天要上早班。
Li: In that clip we heard someone saying he had to leave a party.
莉：剛剛我們聽到一個人說他必須要從聚會上離開。
William: Yes, that's right. He said "I gotta bounce".
威廉：對，沒錯。他說“我要離開了”。
Li: To bounce usually means for something to go up and down. But where does this slang usage come from, William?
莉：bounce通常是指某個東西上下晃動。不過威廉，這個俚語來自哪里？
William: Well, 'bounce' meaning 'to leave' comes from the USA and it's urban slang, so it's something that young cool kids might say.
威廉：bouce這個詞的離開一意來自美國，這是一個城市俚語，這是一個很酷的孩子們會使用的詞。
Li: Not you, then.
莉：那就不是你用的詞了。
William: What do you mean?
威廉：你什么意思？
Li: Well you're not young or cool. You are a middle-class Englishman in his thirties.
莉：嗯，你既不年輕也不酷。你是一個三十幾歲的英國中產男子。
William: Li, that's not fair! I listen to hip hop. And one of my jumpers has a hood.
威廉：莉，這不公平！我會聽嘻哈樂。我還有一件帶兜帽的毛衣呢。
Li: Anyway, we have talked about a phrase now. So if you like, you can bounce now.
莉：不管怎么說，我們已經講了一個短語。所以如果你愿意的話，那你現在就可以走了。
William: Right. Bouncing.
威廉：好的。我走了。
Li: Now that he's gone let's relax with some nice music...
莉：既然他已經離開了，我們來聽一些優美的音樂放松一下……
