Rob: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Rob Carter.
羅布：大家好，歡迎收聽地道英語節目。我是羅布·卡特。
Wang Fei: And I'm Wang Fei. Did you enjoy the party at the weekend, Rob?
王飛：我是王飛。羅布，周末的派對你玩得開心嗎？
Rob: Of course! And it was good of William to buy all that food and drink–he's a good egg!
羅布：當然開心了！而且威廉非常大方地付了所有食物和飲料的錢，他真是個好人！
Wang Fei: A good egg?
王飛：good egg？
Rob: Yes, he's someone who is good to other people and he's generous too!
羅布：對，就是說他對其他人很好，而且他也很大方！
Wang Fei: So you're telling me William is a good egg because he's a generous person and he put on a good party?
王飛：所以你跟我說威廉是個好人，原因就是他是個大方的人，而且他辦了一場很好的派對？
Rob: Well not just that. He's reliable too–he always does what he says he will do–like helping me with the decorating.
羅布：并不僅僅是這樣。他也很值得信賴，他一直都說到做到，就像他幫我裝修一樣。
Wang Fei: So a good egg is really a nice person to know then?
王飛：所以good egg就是指非常好的人嗎？
Rob: Yes, a good egg is an all round good guy.
羅布：對，是指各方面都很好的人。
Wang Fei: A good guy. Are we really talking about William?!
王飛：一個好人。我們真的在說威廉嗎？
Rob: We are.
羅布：是啊。
Thanks for buying me lunch, you really are a good egg!
謝謝你請我吃午餐，你真是一個好人！
I think we can trust her, she really is a good egg.
我認為我們可以信任她，她真的是個好人。
Rob: So these examples of using good egg mean someone is a reliable, trustworthy and generous person.
羅布：上面這些例子表示good egg是指值得信賴、可靠的、大方的人。
Wang Fei: It's a very British term isn't it?
王飛：這是一個英國短語，對吧？
Rob: It is, which is why I tend to say it in a posh voice–good egg. Of course, the opposite of a good egg is a bad egg. Let's hear how this term is used…
羅布：對，所以我習慣用優雅的腔調來說這個短語。當然了，good egg的反義詞就是bad egg。我們來聽一些這個詞的用法……
He's a bad egg. I can't rely on him to do anything!
他是個壞人。我再也不會依靠他做任何事。
How can I trust you to be on time? You're such a bad egg!
我怎么能相信你會準時到？你真是個壞蛋！
Rob: So in these examples bad egg is used to describe someone who is not reliable and untrustworthy.
羅布：在這些例子中，bad egg用來形容不可信賴、不能依靠的人。
Wang Fei: Actually Rob, I meant to tell you - I bought all the food and drink for William's party. He had forgotten to get any.
王飛：實際上，羅布，我要告訴你，威廉派對上提供的所有食物和飲料是我買的單。他忘了帶錢了。
Rob: Really? Did he have egg on his face?
羅布：真的嗎？那他感到丟臉了嗎？
Wang Fei: Excuse me?
王飛：抱歉，什么意思？
Rob: If you have egg on your face it means you're extremely embarrassed by your actions.
羅布：have egg on your face就是說你為你的行為感到非常不好意思。
Wang Fei: Oh I see! William certainly had egg on his face but we still had a good party.
王飛：哦，我明白了！威廉一定感到不好意思了，不過我們還是辦了個很棒的派對。
Rob: Of course we did!
羅布：當然了！
