Welcome to Authentic Real English, with me, Neil…

Feifei
And me, Feifei.

Neil
We have an expression which means 'say a person or thing's name to praise them and thank them publicly' – it's 'shout-out'.

Feifei
這期節目中我們要一起學習 “shout-out” 的用法。When do we use 'shout-out'?

Neil
Well, I've had a tough year, but I want to give a shout-out to my parents for all the support they've given me with my new home. It means I'm praising them publicly.

Feifei
“Shout-out” 是向人表達謝意的一種方式。剛才你說你的父母幫你裝修房子，很辛苦，所以你想向他們表達謝意，“give a shout-out to your parents”。

Neil
Last week I called up my local radio station to give a shout-out to the people in my area who helped me to repair my garden fence.

Feifei
Yes. I know your fence got damaged in the storm. Did your neighbours help with it?

Neil
Yes, which is why I gave them a shout-out. Let's hear some more examples.

Examples
My teacher gave me a shout-out in the classroom because I got a high mark in the exam.

I want to give a shout-out to the volunteers who raised over ￡1000 for the children's charity. We will use the money to take the children on a day out in London.

My uncle gave a big shout-out on the radio to the doctor who saved my aunt's life.

你正在收聽的是 BBC英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。以上我們介紹了 “shout-out” 的含義和用法。“Shout-out” 的意思是 “在公開場合向某人致意”。

Neil
Yes, and I said earlier that it's commonly done publicly – or in front of a group of people.

Feifei
It's often used in award ceremonies. 頒獎典禮上獲獎的人通常會用到 “to give a shout-out to someone” 這樣的句型來感謝幫助他們贏得獎項的人。

Neil
Exactly. We often say 'a big shout-out', and it's used with the verb 'give' – 'give a shout-out'.

Feifei
Hope you've learned how to use 'shout-out'. See you next time!

Neil
Bye!
