很多人都喜歡聊天，但有些人卻不知道什么時(shí)候該停下來(lái)。表達(dá) “zip it” 用來(lái)提醒一個(gè)嘮嘮叨叨、喋喋不休的人 “別說(shuō)了，安靜點(diǎn)”。使用 “zip it” 時(shí)需要特別注意什么？聽主持人佳瑩和 Rob 的對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)口語(yǔ)表達(dá)在日常對(duì)話中的用法。

大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。

Rob
… and me, Rob. Hey, Jiaying, have I told you about my amazing weekend?

Jiaying
No.

Rob
Well, I met some friends, played football in the park, had one of those delicious ice creams from that new shop, then went shopping and bought some new jeans and a new jacket! And then…

Jiaying
Rob! Stop!

Rob
Why? I’m wearing my new jacket now. Don’t you like it? It was such a bargain, and then what I did next…

Jiaying
Please, Rob! Just zip it!

Rob
Zip it? Oh, OK, I’ll zip it up if that’ll cheer you up.

Jiaying
No – zip it. Stop talking!

Rob
Oh, OK.

Jiaying
當(dāng)我們讓某人 “zip it” 的時(shí)候，意思就是讓這個(gè)人 “安靜下來(lái)，不要再說(shuō)話了”。雖然 “zip it” 這個(gè)表達(dá)比較直接，聽起來(lái)可能有些不禮貌，但如果有人總是喋喋不休地講話，影響到了你，你就能用上它。Listen to that – peace and quiet – that’s better.

Rob
Err… maybe we could hear some examples now?

Examples
I had to ask her to zip it – nobody else could say what they thought.

Just zip it, will you, please? We’ve listened to you enough, and what you’re saying is rubbish!

Eventually, I told him to zip it – I’d heard enough of him complaining about how much work he had to do.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。以上，我們?yōu)榇蠹医榻B了表達(dá) “zip it” 的意思和用法。表達(dá) “zip it” 用來(lái)提醒一個(gè)喋喋不休的人 “安靜點(diǎn)，別說(shuō)了”。由于這個(gè)表達(dá)聽起來(lái)可能不大禮貌，所以，我們?cè)谑褂玫臅r(shí)候一定要注意自己的語(yǔ)氣以及說(shuō)話的場(chǎng)合，以免產(chǎn)生誤會(huì)。

Rob
Err… can I talk now?

Jiaying
Yes, Rob.

Rob
Do you not like my new jacket?

Jiaying
I love it, but I’ve got a headache and you were talking too much.

Rob
Oh, sorry to hear that. What you need to do is drink lots of water, stand on your head… or is it lie down? And then eat lots of chocolate and…

Jiaying
Can you zip it again, please – you’re talking too much. 哎，要不我們還是先別說(shuō)話了。

Rob
OK, well, I’ll zip it if you do! Bye.

Jiaying
Bye, Rob.
