The script of this programme 本节目台词
Feifei: 大家好，欢迎收听由 BBC Learning English 为您带来的《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲。
Natalie: And I'm Natalie. What was that?!
Feifei: 不好意思，是我的肚子在乱叫。今天早上时间太紧，没来得及吃早饭，现在饿得前心贴后背。My stomach is grumbling for some food!
Natalie: Well, we could go for some brunch after the programme.
Feifei: Brunch?
Natalie: Yes, B.R.U.N.C.H. brunch.
Feifei: What is brunch?
Brunch is usually a hot meal, e.g. eggs on toast.
Natalie: Well brunch is a portmanteau word which is when two words and their meanings are combined together to form a new word.
Feifei: Brunch 是一个合成词，也就是由两个单词组成一个新的单词。
Natalie: So listen to the word brunch. Which two words do you think have been joined together to make it?
Feifei: Let me think… brunch…
Natalie: I think you definitely need to get some brunch! Your stomach is calling out for some food! OK, brunch is made from the words breakfast and lunch.
Feifei: Brunch 是由单词早餐 breakfast 和午餐 lunch 组成的。So brunch is a meal between breakfast and lunch?
Natalie: Yes, it's usually in place of breakfast and lunch, as it's too late for breakfast and too early for lunch, so we call it brunch.
Feifei: So this meal usually involves a lot of food?
Natalie: Yes as some people replace breakfast and lunch with this meal it tends to be a big meal! But don't worry people in Britain tend to only have brunch now and again. It can be very popular to have brunch on a Sunday.
Feifei: 在英国，很多人更喜欢在星期天享用一顿 brunch. I know why! Sunday lie-ins 星期天睡懒觉 – 这样一来错过早餐，吃午餐又太早，所以早午餐再合适不过了。
Natalie: I think we'd better go get you some brunch Feifei!!
Feifei: Yes I think that's a good idea! 请随时登陆我们的网站，学习更多的时尚《地道英语》表达。下次节目再见！
