… and me, Neil. You look tired today! Are you OK?
Jiaying
我还好。对了,昨天晚上你看那部新出的
游戏 “Fishing Dragons” 的直播了吗?
Neil
No – it was too late for me! Was the game any good?
Jiaying
It was lit!
Neil
What do you mean lit? The stream was on fire – or the dragons catch fish by lighting them on fire? What are you talking about?
Jiaying
哎呀,不是啦。虽然动词 “light(点燃)” 的过去分词也是 “lit”,但在口语中,人们常常用 “lit” 形容一件事情 “很酷,很棒”。所以我刚刚说 “The game was lit”,意思其实是 “那部游戏超赞”!
Neil
Ah… that’s what you meant by ‘lit’! And do the dragons catch fish with fire?
Jiaying
Of course not – they use the power of their minds! Let’s talk more about it after these examples.
Examples
John’s new car is lit! It’s so amazing!
I joined a virtual dance party last night and it was lit – there was a DJ and everyone had an amazing time.
Erica said that new film was lit, but I thought it was a bit disappointing. I didn’t like the plot or characters.
Jiaying
你正在收听的是 BBC
英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。上面,我们为大家介绍了流行语 “lit” 的意思和用法。我们用形容词 “lit” 来表示一件事情 “很棒,超赞”。
Neil
Yes, that’s right! For example, that video game we played is lit! You can also say that something is ‘fire’ with the same meaning.
Jiaying
没错!在口语会话中,我们也可以用单词 “fire” 来表达同样的意思。比如:“that new song I listened to was fire” 或者 “that new song I listened to was lit”。
Neil
Which is why some people send a fire emoji on their phones. Is that why you sent me a message just now saying ‘my food’ and then a fire emoji? Do you think my cooking was amazing?
Jiaying
Not this time! I’m afraid to say that your food really was on fire! Have you seen that thing in the bin?
Neil
What – the black mess? Is that my food – that looks disgusting.
Jiaying
Yeah – the taste definitely isn’t lit. Bye, Neil!
Neil
Bye.
