The english we speak(BBC教學)第58期: chuffed開心的
Kaz: Hello, I'm Kaz.
卡茲：大家好，我是卡茲。Yang Li: And I'm Yang Li. Hey Kaz, you're looking very happy today, what's up - what's happened?
楊麗：我是楊麗。卡茲，你今天看起來很高興，怎麼了，發生了什麼？Kaz: Well Li, you know that singing competition I went in for?
卡茲：麗，你知道我參加的那個歌唱比賽嗎？
Yang Li: Oh yes, the singing competition, what about it?
楊麗：哦是的，那個歌唱比賽，怎麼了？Kaz: Ah，I came first.
卡茲：啊，我拿了第一名。Yang Li: You did? Congratulations! You came first in the singing competition! Wow! No wonder you're so happy.
楊麗：你確定？恭喜！你竟然在歌唱比賽拿了第一名！哇！難怪你這麼高興。Kaz: I certainly am Li. I'm feeling really chuffed.
卡茲：我的確很高興麗。我感覺很開心。Yang Li: Feeling really chuffed?
楊麗：感覺非常開心？Kaz: Yes, I'm feeling really chuffed - I'm feeling really pleased with myself.
卡茲：我感覺十分開心——我對自己很滿意。Yang Li: 'Chuffed' - so 'feeling chuffed', means feeling pleased with yourself?
楊麗：“開心”，那麼“感覺開心”意思就是對自己很滿意？Kaz: That's right.
卡茲：說得對。Yang Li: So, for example, when I passed my driving test - many years ago - I felt chuffed with myself.
楊麗：所以，比如，當我通過了駕照考試，多年之前，我對自己非常滿意。Kaz: I'm sure you did Li - I'm sure you were really chuffed with yourself.
卡茲：我確定你一定是的麗，我確定你當時對你自己非常滿意。Yang Li: OK. So, 'to feel' or 'to be' chuffed about something means to be pleased with life - to be pleased with achieving something. 'Chuffed' - I like the sound of it. Let's listen to some more examples:
楊麗：好的。那麼，“感覺”或者“處於”對某事很開心意思是對生活很滿意，對達成某事很高興。“開心的”——我喜歡這個詞的發音。讓我們來聽更多的例子吧：I say Alice. I'm feeling rather chuffed with my exam results. I got a distinction!
我說愛麗絲。我對自己的考試成績很滿意。我獲得了榮譽。Congratulations! You've been promoted. You must be feeling well chuffed!
恭喜！你升職了。你一定很開心！She's lost four kilos, she must be very chuffed.
她減掉了4公斤，她一定很開心。Yang Li: Kaz, in those examples, I noticed that you can say 'rather chuffed' and 'well chuffed' what's the difference?
楊麗：卡茲，在這些例子裏，我注意到你可以說“很開心”和“非常開心”，有什麼區別呢？Kaz: Well spotted Li. I'd say that 'rather chuffed' is quite formal and perhaps even a little old fashioned.
卡茲：發現得好麗。我覺得“很開心”十分的正式而且或許有一點過時。Yang Li: And 'well chuffed'?
楊麗：那“非常開心”呢？Kaz: 'Well chuffed' is much more informal and more colloquial.
卡茲：“非常開心”不太正式而且更通俗。Yang Li: Which one would you prefer then?
楊麗：那你更喜歡哪個？Kaz: I think I prefer 'rather chuffed'.
卡茲：我覺得我更喜歡“很開心”。Yang Li: Well, I think we can be rather chuffed with ourselves today.
楊麗：我覺得我們今天對自己很滿意。Kaz: How so Li?
卡茲：爲什麼這麼說麗？Yang Li: We've successfully completed another programme.
楊麗：我們又一次成功地完成了節目。Both: Bye!
一起：再見！
