Jo: Welcome to another Real English programme from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.
Helen: And I'm Helen. 地道英语中介绍的一些英语表达, 你可能在英语课堂上学不到,但是它们在生活中却会经常出现。那 Jo,今天的新表达是什么呢?
Jo: Well, today we're going to look at the expression yummy mummy. Y.U.M.M.Y. M.U.M.M.Y. Yummy mummy.
Helen: Yummy 一般是说很好吃的东西,不过它也可以用来形容很吸引人。比如说。 He's yummy. She's a bit yummy.
Jo: That's right. So a yummy mummy is someone who is a mother but who is also very beautiful.
Helen: 这个词是和年轻妈妈们有关,很多妈妈们为了宝宝忙上忙下,根本就没时间考虑到自己的外貌。但是像那些名人妈妈们,因为有一大堆人帮忙,所以不像一般妈妈们那么受累,还是很时髦,很漂亮。
Jo: So, someone like Victoria Beckham – she has three young sons but she always looks great, and she is very thin and fashionable. Angelina Jolie is another yummy mummy – she now has four children but always looks great!
Helen: Yummy 在这里的意思是漂亮,引人注目,它和 mummy 加在一起非常押韵。所以这个词在电视,杂志上都特别流行。
