Rob's weekend has been wet, even though it hasn't rained! What's happened? Feifei's about to find out and learn a new authentic English expression!
雖然并沒有下雨，但是羅布過了一個“濕漉漉的周末”。發生了什么？菲菲馬上就會弄清楚，而且還會學到一個地道的英語表達方式！
Feifei: Hello. I'm Feifei and this is The English We Speak.
菲菲：大家好，我是菲菲，歡迎收聽地道英語節目。
Rob: ... and hello, it's Rob here. Good weekend Feifei?
羅布：大家好，我是羅布。菲菲，你周末過得不錯吧？
Feifei: Amazing – the weather was great so I went on a trip to the seaside. And you were going camping weren't you?
菲菲：棒極了，天氣很好，所以我去海邊玩了。你去露營了，對吧？
Rob: I was but it turned out to be a bit of a wet weekend.
羅布：我本來是打算去露營，可是后來變得很無聊。
Feifei: Oh no, you mean it rained? That's unlucky, the sun was out all weekend here.
菲菲：哦不，你是說下雨了嗎？太不幸了，這里整個周末都陽光明媚。
Rob: Oh well the weather was fine – but I didn't go. The car broke down again so I stayed at home, doing DIY all weekend – boring!
羅布：不是，天氣很好，可是我沒有去露營。我的車又壞了，我只能留在家里，一整個周末做手工，非常無聊！
Feifei: So a wet weekend doesn't have to involve rain?
菲菲：所以wet weekend與下雨無關？
Rob: Nope. A wet weekend means a boring and disappointing time.
羅布：無關。這個短語的意思是無聊又令人掃興的時光。
Feifei: And it doesn't have to be at the weekend either?
菲菲：也不一定指周末嗎？
Rob: Correct. This phrase just means the situation is boring just like a wet weekend is. You can also use the expression to describe boring people. Here are some examples...
羅布：沒錯。這個短語指無聊的情況，就像下雨的周末一樣。你也可以用這個表達方式形容無聊的人。下面來聽例句。
