Yang Li: Hello Diarmuid!

Diarmuid: Ah… Hi Yang Li. (Yawn)

Yang Li: Bit tired?

Diarmuid: Eh? Oh, yeah. Didn’t sleep well. Er, what programme are we doing today?

Yang Li: Authentic¹ Real English.

Diarmuid: Great, the programme where we answer questions about British culture?

Yang Li: No… It’s the programme where we introduce the latest English words and phrases. Diarmuid, you’re not really with it today.

Diarmuid: Eh?

Yang Li: You’re not with it, are you?

Diarmuid: Sorry. Good phrase though, with it.

Yang Li: Yes. 今天我们要介绍一个新词语 with 和 it 连在一起 with it. 如果你 with it 就说明你是全神贯注，换句话说，你的思路跟着对方，没有走神儿。反之就就是心不在焉，状态不佳，比如今天我的搭档 Diarmuid 就是一例。

Diarmuid: Eh?

Yang Li: Diarmuid – you really need to get some sleep!

Examples

A: Sorry, I’m a little tired. I’ve just flown from London to Beijing.

B: No wonder you’re not with it today.

A: I’m not really with it at the moment, I think it’s these cold drugs I’m taking.

B: No problem, just go and get some rest.

Yang Li: So, I hope everyone’s enjoyed learning² the phrase with it. And of course our website has many more interesting words and expressions for you to learn. Diarmuid, shall we remind everyone about our web address?

Diarmuid: (Snores)

Yang Li: Oh well, think he’s tired, too tired. Better leave him to sleep.

Diarmuid: (Snores)

Yang Li: Bye bye on behalf³ of Diarmuid.
