The script of this programme 本节目台词

Feifei: 大家好，欢迎收听地道英语节目，我是冯菲菲。

William: And I’m William.

Feifei: William, how much do you know about China?

William: Er... Not much. Why are you asking?

Feifei: 我今天读报纸的时候，看到一个有关中国的小测验。

William: Oh no, not quizzes, I’m rubbish at quizzes. wｗw.ExamＷ.CoM

Feifei: Let’s see. Here is the first one – 中国的首都是哪儿？

William: Ah, well. That’s easy, Beijing.

Feifei: 回答正确！中国哪里的菜肴是以麻辣出名的？

William: Em, I think Sichuan food is quite spicy.

Feifei: See, you are doing well! How about this one – 汉字里一共有多少个字？这道题有点难度。

William: Em, 5,000?

Feifei: No. Try again.

William: 7,000?

Feifei: No. Roughly 42,000.

William: Wow, that’s amazing. I didn’t know it was that many. How can people possibly learn them all? I just think that’s totally mind-boggling!

Feifei: Mind-boggling, 这个短语是什么意思？

William: Mind-boggling means something overwhelming and amazing, like really impressive numbers or facts.

Feifei: 知道了，mind-boggling 就是说一件令人吃惊的、非常难以置信的事情。比方说一个巨大的数字。

William: It’s made up of two words: mind and to boggle. Let’s hear an example.
