有時(shí)候，我們?cè)谡胰藭r(shí)，這個(gè)人偏偏就像憑空消失了一樣，連個(gè)影子都見不到。主持人 Rob 正在找 Roy，卻怎么找也找不到，正好佳瑩用了一個(gè)英語口語表達(dá)來描述這種情況。聽對(duì)話，學(xué)習(xí)這個(gè)表達(dá)的含義和用法。

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

Rob
And me, Rob. Jiaying, why is it everyone in our office keeps disappearing?

Jiaying
What do you mean?

Rob
Well, every time I want to talk to someone, I can’t find them! Like Roy, for example. I need to talk to him about something, but he’s nowhere to be seen. Have you seen him?

Jiaying
No. I’ve not seen hide nor hair of him.

Rob
You mean he’s hiding from me?

Jiaying
No, Rob. I mean I’ve not seen him for some time. 口語表達(dá) “not see hide nor hair of someone” 的意思就是 “好一陣子沒見過某人，連這個(gè)人的影子都沒看到”。Do you need to see him urgently?

Rob
Yes, I wanted him to read out some examples – but Neil will do…

Examples
I haven’t seen hide nor hair of Suki all week! Maybe she’s on holiday?

We haven’t seen hide nor hair of the builders since we paid them.

We didn’t see hide nor hair of the manager the whole time we were in the office.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學(xué)的 “地道英語” 節(jié)目。上面，我們介紹了表達(dá) “not see hide nor hair of someone”，意思是 “有好一陣子連某人的影子都沒看到”，就好像這個(gè)人憑空消失了一樣。Rob, I hope Roy really hasn’t disappeared – should we look for him?

Rob
No, it’s OK. He’ll turn up.

Jiaying
He has, Rob! 他不就在那邊嗎，只不過是剪了頭發(fā)而已。

Rob
Oh, and he’s had it all cut off! Now we really won’t see hide nor any hair of him if he disappears again!

Jiaying
No. Anyway, Rob, I meant to ask you if I could have that ten pounds back, I lent you? Oh, maybe I won’t see hide nor hair of him for some time… Bye!
