Feifei
Neil
… and me Neil. Hello!
Feifei
Neil, what a nice mobile phone you have with you! Wow! Very flashy! Gold colour!
Neil
It's brilliant! The battery lasts a long time. It's got loads of memory, has plenty of room for apps, pictures, videos… The camera is great too!
Feifei
It must have cost you a fortune!
Neil
Not at all, it was a steal!
Feifei
A steal? 偷来的手机？Neil!!!! Oh, you shouldn't have done that! You are such a nice guy, why would you do something like that? You could have taken out a loan to buy it or something… but…
Neil
What do you mean? (Sound of a police car siren)
Feifei
They are here, they've come for you!
Neil
No, that was just a sound effect! I'm just having a joke with you. I'm not going to be arrested. In English, when you say something is 'a steal' you mean it's a bargain – so cheap that it is almost as if you haven't paid anything for it.
Feifei
你可真会聊天！原来在英语里，当人们觉得一件东西买得又值又特别便宜的时候就可以说它是个 steal，就好像是白送的 。这是个很口语化的表达，在使用时要注意语境和场合。
Neil
Sorry Feifei, it was just a joke. Let's hear examples of how this expression is used.
Examples
I got this designer shirt in the sales at £100 cheaper than the original price. It's a steal.
This is the latest model, sir. You won't find this new computer cheaper in any other shop in the high street. It's a steal!
Neil
See?
Feifei
嗯，现在我完全明白这个词的用法了。
Neil
So as I was saying my phone was so cheap… My phone!!! Where is it?! I had it just here! Where has it gone?
Feifei
Yeah, where is it? It was right here…
Neil
Yeah! Now I really do need to call the police! (Sound of a police car siren)
Feifei
No, you don't. Your phone is here! I hid it when you got distracted.
Neil
Nice one, Feifei. Revenge for my joke at the beginning. And for the listeners - don't steal anything. 'It's a steal' is just an expression.
Both
Bye!
