歌词
Hi, I'm Rob. And this is Helen.
Hi，我是Rob，这是Helen
Hello.
你好！
Now come on Helen, we've no time to waste. This jumble sale has nearly finished and we haven't got any bargains yet.
快点，Helen，我们没有时间浪费了！这次慈善义卖会已经快结束了，便宜货什么的，我们还没买呢！
Yes, all I've bought is an old teddy bear and a hat with a hole in it.
是的，我只买了一只旧泰迪熊和一顶有洞的帽子。
A jumble sale is a great place to pick up some second-hand goods but make sure they are things you want. So what are you looking for Rob?
一场慈善义卖会是个获得一些好的二手货好地方，但得确保那是你想要的。所以你在找寻什么呢？
Well, some antique pots and some vases. And then I can sell it to someone else and I'll be quids in.
嗯，一些古董锅和花瓶。然后我可以把它卖给别人，然后赚一笔
What? Quids in? What a strange saying.
哈？赚一笔？你这话说的真奇怪
Well, it means I'll be in profit, or I will have made or saved some money through some kind of financial transaction.
这意味着我将会获利，或者我将会通过某种金融交易赚到或省下一些钱。
I like the sound of that. But did you say squids in, like the creature in the sea, a squid?
我喜欢听这种话，但你说了 赚一笔？像是 海里的生物，鱿鱼?
No nothing like that Helen, the word is quids, it's a slang word for pounds. A quid is 1 pounds. You might hear people talking about it like this:
不像这样的 海伦，这个词是quids，它是英镑的俚语。1英镑是多少?。你可能会听到人们这样谈论它
I'm broke so can you lend me a quid to buy a cup of tea, please?
我好累啊，你能借我一磅让我去买一杯咖啡吗？
Come on ladies, who wants these lovely strawberries? Only two quid a box.
来啊，女士们!谁想要这些可爱的草莓啊？一盒只要两磅哦
So a quid is a pound and if I am quids in it means I will have made some extra pounds sterling.
Ah, why didn't you say? Quids in means you could be rich.
哈？为什么你这样说？赚一笔意思是你或许会富有一点
Possibly possibly. But let's hear some other people who are hoping to be quids in.
或许吧，或许吧。但让我们听听其他人想要赚一笔的人的话
If we complete this deal, we'll be quids in.
如果我们完成了，我们就发了
With such a good exchange rate you'll be quids in when you go abroad on holiday.
I paid 50 pounds for it but sold it for 60 pounds so I'm quids in.
The English we speak.
我们说英语
OK Rob, if we're going to be quids in today we need to get buying things.
Did I say "we"? Anyway, look at this old vase, it's only 10 pounds. I could clean it up and sell it for 20 pounds.
Sounds fantastic. We really would be quids in then. Come on then let's buy it.
Right OK, so I've got my bargain for today, let's go home.
Rob watch that step!
Rob，注意脚下！
Whoa. Oh no, my vase. It's broken.
Oh. Do you think you'll be able to get 20 pounds for it now?
No, I don’t think I can even get a penny.
不，我甚至一分钱都拿不到。
Rob won't be making a profit on selling his old vase now it's broken. Is there such an expression as being quids out?
No there isn't. But there is an expression about being out of pocket.
Hmm, I think we'll leave that for another day. Come on Rob I'll buy you a drink to cheer you up.
Thanks Helen. See you next time on The English We Speak. Bye.
Bye.
再见
