Feifei
大家好，欢迎收听 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是冯菲菲。
Rob
… and me, Rob. Hey, Feifei. Do you need me to order a pizza for you?
Feifei
Why would I want you to order me a pizza when we’re presenting a programme?
Rob
Oh, go on! Just say ‘pizza’ and my new smartphone will instantly order one for you.
Feifei
啊，我明白了，你其实是想显摆你的新手机吧！I know you’ve got a new and very expensive smartphone, Rob, but I’m quite happy using my bog-standard dumbphone.
Rob
‘Bog-standard’? You mean it’s basic, ordinary and unexceptional?
Feifei
I do. It’s a strange expression and nobody really knows its origins.
Rob
Well, I think it’s got something to do with the English slang for toilet – bog – which is where your ‘old’ phone should be!
Feifei
Oh, thanks! Shall we hear some ‘bog-standard’ examples now?
Examples
I’ve got a bog-standard computer, but it’s fine for just sending emails and surfing the internet.
Sorry you got a low mark in your homework, but to be honest, it was bog-standard.
I found the new film bog-standard. It lacked the action and special effects I was expecting.
Feifei
这里是 BBC英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。 以上，我们学习了如何在口语交流中使用形容词 “bog-standard”。“Bog-standard” 用来描述事物是 “普通的，平常的，毫无新意的” 。
Rob
Hmm… like your basic mobile phone.
Feifei
Oh, is that a message on your new, shiny, very expensive smartphone?
Rob
Yes, yes, it is. It’s my first bill for my new phone… Let’s have a look. What? How much? Oh!
Feifei
Oh dear, Rob. It’s not such a new, shiny phone now, is it?
Rob
Oh, no, how are we going to order a pizza now?
Feifei
On my ‘bog-standard’ phone? Here, just press the numbers and you can actually talk to someone.
