Feifei: 大家好！欢迎收听由 BBC Learning¹ English 为您制作的《地道英语》节目。我是冯菲菲。

Natalie: Hi I'm Natalie.

Feifei: What's wrong with you?

Natalie: Sorry Feifei, I'm in a really bad mood today.

Feifei: Why what's happened?

Natalie: Well I got this beautiful dress on sale on Saturday and then I spilt coffee all over it this morning! Do you see that stain²?

Feifei: Oh no! 希望能洗得掉，否则就不能再穿了。

Natalie: I hope it's not ruined either! I'm really cheesed off about it.

Feifei: 你说什么？不小心给裙子上撒上了咖啡，怎么又和奶酪联系起来了呢？我不太懂。

Natalie: No I'm cheesed off. C.H.E.E.S.E.D O.F.F means I'm really annoyed.

Feifei: 短语 cheesed off 的意思就是恼火的，生气的。 Well Natalie try not to be too cheesed off, it's only a dress and on the bright side of things you have shown us a new phrase… cheesed off.

Natalie: Yeah, well here are some more people using the phrase cheesed off.

Feifei: Have you cheered up yet?

Natalie: Yeah! I've just realised that this is not my new dress!

Feifei: What?! So all that fuss³ was over nothing!

Natalie: Yeah, you see this looks like my new dress, but actually this is… the dress I borrowed off you.

Feifei: Hang on! That is my dress! Now I'm cheesed off!

Natalie: Well I'd better go and buy Feifei a new dress. Bye!
