您正在收听卢克的英语播客。更多信息请访问teacherluke.podomatic.com。大家好，欢迎来到卢克的英语播客，这是为英语学习者准备的播客。这是我制作的第一期播客，也将是未来可供下载收听的众多播客中的第一期。因为是首期节目，所以篇幅较短。

You're listening to Luke's English podcast. For more information, visit teacherluke.podomatic.com. Hello, and welcome to Luke's English podcast, the podcast for learners of English. This is the very first podcast that I've done, and it will be the first of many more podcasts that you'll be able to download and listen to in the future. So because this is the first podcast, it's it's a bit short.

比其他后续节目要简短些。本期节目中，我主要会做个自我介绍让大家认识我，然后聊聊未来其他播客的内容安排。首先，我叫卢克·汤普森。对英语学习者来说，Luke这个名字有时发音有点困难，我遇到过很多人发不准音，他们会叫我Look或Luck，但正确发音是Luke。

It's shorter than than the the other ones will be. And in this podcast, basically, I'm going to introduce myself to you so that you can get to know me a little bit, and then I'm gonna tell you about what is going to happen in other podcasts in the future. Let's see. First of all, my name's Luke, Luke Thompson. Now the name Luke can be a little bit difficult for learners of English to pronounce sometimes, and I meet lots of people who can't pronounce my name, and they they they call me Look or maybe Luck, but it's not Look or Luck.

当然就是Luke。我现在住在伦敦，在西伦敦一所英语学校任教，教英语已有八年左右。最初我在日本开始教书，在东京附近的神奈川县住了两年。

It's it's Luke, of course. And let's see. I live in London. I work as an English teacher in a English language school in West London, and I've been teaching English for about eight years now. I first started teaching in Japan, and I lived in Japan for two years in in an area near Tokyo called Kanagawa Prefecture.

我在那里教了两年英语，那段经历非常棒，过得特别愉快，对我来说是非常有趣的体验。关于在日本的时光，我有很多有趣的故事可以分享。教了两年后，我就回国了

And I taught English there for two years, and it was really great. I had a really good time. It was a very interesting experience for me, and I've got lots of interesting stories to tell about my time in Japan. So I taught there for two years, and then I came back

到

to

伦敦，我已在伦敦教授英语约六年。曾在几所不同的学校任教，包括牛津街附近的一所和滑铁卢的另一所。现在我在一所拥有两栋校舍的学校工作，分别位于荷兰公园和西伦敦的奇西克。我非常享受这份工作，因为能遇到许多有趣的人，比如像你这样需要学习英语并来到伦敦的人们。

London, and I've been teaching English in London for about six years now. I've worked in a few different schools. I used to work in a school near Oxford Street, and I worked in another school in Waterloo. And now I work in a school which has two buildings, one in Holland Park and the other one in Chiswick in West London. And I enjoy my job very much because I get to meet lots of very interesting people, possibly people like you, people who need to to learn English, and they come to London.

例如他们会来到我的学校。结识来自世界各地的人们，向他们介绍英语语言和文化，这对我来说非常有趣。除了英语教师的身份，我还对许多其他事物充满热情。我热爱音乐。

They they come to my school, for example. And it's very interesting for me to meet these people from around the world and to introduce them to the English language and the English culture as well. Let's see. As well as being a teacher, an English teacher, I'm also interested in lots of other things. I love music.

我是个超级乐迷。比如当然喜欢披头士，毕竟我是英国人，我们都爱披头士对吧？我还喜欢各种类型的音乐。偶尔也会演奏，打鼓和弹吉他。

I'm a big music fan. For example, I love the Beatles, of course, because I'm English, and we all love the Beatles, don't we? So I love the Beatles, and I love lots of different kinds of music as well. I play music sometimes. I play the drums, and I play the guitar.

说实话吉他弹得不太好，正在学习中。但打鼓已有很长时间，现在还在学校乐队演出，偶尔举办音乐会，非常有趣。我还热衷其他活动，喜欢电影和体育，尤其是足球——毕竟英国人嘛，我们都爱足球。

I'm not very good at the guitar, to be honest. I'm just trying to learn how to do that, but I've been playing drums for a long time now. I play in a band at the school, and we play concerts sometimes, and that's really great fun. I'm also into lots of other things. I love movies, and I like sport, like football, of course, again, because I'm English, and we all love football.

对吧？我还喜欢攀岩。以上就是关于我的一些简单介绍。现在我对你们的故事、观点和问题也很感兴趣。

Right? And I also like rock climbing too. So that's just a little bit of information about me. And okay. Now I'm also interested in you and your opinions and your stories and your questions as well.

如果有任何问题或想分享的故事，可以发邮件给我。每期播客结束时我都会提问，希望这档播客具有互动性——你们可以将答案发送至luketeacher@hotmail.com（注：原文地址表述有误，应为luketeacher@hotmail.com），借此机会交流我们对话题的看法。

So if you have any questions for me, if there are stories that you'd like to tell me, you can email me. Now at the end of each podcast, I will actually ask you a question, and I really want this to be an interactive podcast, which means that you can email me your answers to the question that I will ask you at the end of the podcast, and it'll be a chance for you to tell me what you think about some of the things that we'll be talking about. So if you want to email me, you can write to this address. It's luketeacher@hotmail.com. That's luketeacher@mark,hotmail,.com.

期待收到你们的来信。您现在收听的是Luke's English podcast。更多信息请访问teacherluke.podomatic.com。由于这是首期节目，内容会与未来播客略有不同。

And I'll be very glad to hear from you. You're still listening to Luke's English podcast. If you'd like some more information, visit teacher luke dot podomatic dot com. Now let me tell you about the podcast. Now, obviously, this is the first podcast, so it's slightly different from podcasts in the future.

但这个播客真正令人惊叹之处在于，全程都是地道的英式英语。所以，如果你想要一次优质的听力练习体验，同时寻找既有趣又娱乐的内容，那么这个播客正适合你。正如我所说，全是最自然的英式英语，就像我和朋友聊天时用的那种，英国人日常交流的真实英语。我是在伦敦公寓里录制这个播客的，此刻正坐在沙发上，一个周六的早晨。

But the really, what is so fantastic about this podcast is that the whole thing will be real natural British English. So that means that if you're interested in having a good listening experience, practicing your listening, but also finding something that will be interesting and entertaining and fun, then this is the podcast for you. Like I said, it will all be totally natural British English, so the sort of English that I speak with my friends, for example, the kind of real English that people in Britain speak all the time. I record the podcast here in my apartment in London. I'm at the moment, I'm sitting on my sofa, and it's a it's a Saturday morning.

我利用业余时间在家录制播客，每期通常包含三部分。第一部分会和我聊聊天，可能谈谈当下的新闻或近期动态。我也会回答你们的问题，并朗读你们通过之前提到的邮箱地址发来的留言。这就是第一部分的内容。

So I record the podcast at home in my free time, and a typical podcast will have three parts. The first part will be a little bit of conversation with me. So I'll I might talk about something that's happening at the moment, so possibly a news story or what's been going on recently. And I will also answer your questions, and I will read out your comments that you've sent to me via the email address that I read out earlier on. That's the first part.

播客第二部分是专题环节，通常会采访某个人——可能是我的朋友或家人。这样你就能听到英语母语者之间的自然对话，仿佛置身于英语母语者的闲聊中。

The second part of the podcast will be a feature. So that means that it will be probably an interview with someone. So I might interview one of my friends or interview a member of my family. And so you'll you'll be able to listen to a natural conversation between native speakers, for example. It will be like you are spending time with some native English speakers.

我知道现实中很难找到英语母语者交流，但通过这个播客，你能听到我和亲友的对话，再次获得接触地道英式英语的绝佳机会。第二部分可能是街头采访，比如在伦敦街头或酒吧里与人探讨各种有趣话题。第三部分我会解析前两期使用的语言，教你实用的词汇和表达，这些都是英国人日常交流的真实用语。

I know it's difficult to find native English speakers to to meet and talk to, But if you listen to this podcast, you'll be able to listen to me talking to some of my friends or family. So again, a really good chance for you to listen to natural British English being spoken. So that like I said, the second part will be a feature, maybe an interview with someone. I might, for example, go into London and interview people on the street, or I'll interview people that I meet in the pub, for example, and we'll talk about lots of interesting topics. Then the third part of the podcast, I will look at some of the language that I've used in part one and part two, And I'll actually teach you some really useful vocabulary and really useful expressions, the kinds of natural language that normal British people speak when they talk to each other.

这个播客能有效提升你的英语水平。如果开始运用听到的词汇，你的英语就能进阶到更高层次。另一个优点是你可以从网上下载，存入iPod或MP3播放器，随时随地收听——通勤路上、健身时都可以。

So this podcast is a really good chance for you to try and push your level of English up. And if you start using some of the vocabulary that you hear on this podcast, you can really start to push your level further up to an advanced level of English. Another good thing about the podcast is that you can download it from the Internet. You can put it onto your iPod or your m p three player, and then you can listen to it anywhere you like. I mean, you can listen to this on the bus, on the way to work, or on your way to school.

甚至洗澡或上厕所时也能听（虽然这样可能有点奇怪）。不过说真的，你在哪里做什么我并不在意。

You can listen to it maybe when you're in the gym doing your exercise. I mean, you can listen to it any way you like. I mean, you can listen to it on the toilet, for example, or maybe when you're having a bath. I I suppose that might be a bit weird or a bit strange if you're listening to me while you're having a bath or when you're on the toilet. But I mean, I don't really care.

只要你在听这个播客，这才是最重要的。无论身处何地——比如你来伦敦学英语，可能曾是我的学生，回国后仍能继续收听，这是延续你英式英语学习之旅的绝佳方式。

I don't really care where you are or what you're doing as long as you're actually listening to the podcast. That's the most important thing for me. Also, you can listen to this anywhere in the world. So if you've come to London to study English, you might you might have been at my school, you might have been one of my students. If you've come to London and then you go back to your country, you can keep downloading and listening to this podcast from your country, and it's a really good chance to extend your British English learning experience.

现在网上有很多其他可以下载的英语学习播客。比如，如果你电脑上有iTunes，进入iTunes商店搜索'learning English podcast'，就能找到大量不同的英语播客。但在我看来，其中大多数其实都很糟糕。我认为这个播客可能会比其他所有播客都要好。我这么说可能不太谦虚，但我觉得这是自信的表现，这是件好事。

Now there are lots of other podcasts that you can download from the Internet, lots of learning English podcasts. If you go to iTunes, if you've got iTunes on your computer, for example, if you go to the iTunes store and do a search for learning English podcast, you'll find lots of different English language podcasts available. But in my opinion, most of them are rubbish, actually. And I think that this will be probably better than all the others. Now I'm I'm not being very modest there, but I I think I'm just being confident, which is a good thing.

我听过很多网上能找到的其他播客。首先，它们大多是美国播客，用的是美式英语——这本身没问题，美式英语很棒。但你可能想听英式英语对吧？或者说伦敦英语，这正是我这个播客能提供的。另外，很多我听过的播客都显得非常居高临下。

But I've listened to a lot of other podcasts that you can find on the Internet. And first of all, most of them seem to be American, and they have American English, which is fine because American English is great and all that, but you might want to listen to British English. Right? Or sort of London English, which is what I can offer in this podcast. So also the a lot of the podcasts that I've listened to seem to be very patronizing.

所谓居高临下，是指他们对你说话的方式就像你有点笨，或者像对待小孩。比如他们会说：'欢迎收听podcasts.com的美式英语播客，今天的主题是狗狗。狗狗是一种养在家里或住所的宠物，明白了吗？'

And by patronizing, I mean that they talk to you like you're a bit stupid or maybe like you're a bit of a child. So they might be something like, Welcome to the American English podcast from podcasts.com. Today's podcast is about dogs. Dogs are a kind of pet that you keep in your home or in your house, for example. Right?

这种语气有点慢、有点无聊，还带着居高临下的感觉。所以我希望这个播客能更有趣些，不那么居高临下，不那么无聊，更自然有趣。你会真正因为娱乐性而想听它，不像是在学习，更像是听些有趣的内容。至少我希望如此。

Sort of a bit slow, a bit boring, and a bit patronizing. So I think that this podcast will be hopefully more interesting than that, not as patronizing, not very boring, hopefully, sort of natural and fun. And you will actually want to listen to it for entertainment. So it's not like studying, but more like just something that you listen to just because it's interesting. I hope I hope so anyway.

我想说的就这些，第一期播客到此结束。别忘了收听第二期和第三期，因为它们会比这期更有趣，会有采访等内容。最后我想提个问题，希望大家通过邮件回答：你们希望我聊些什么话题？

So I think that's that's it really. That's the end of this first podcast. Don't forget to listen to the second one and the third one because they will be more interesting than this because there'll be things like interviews with people and other stuff like that. So I'd like to end this podcast with a question, which I would like you to answer through the email address. And the question is, what would you like me to talk about?

你们想在这个播客里听我谈论什么？可以发问题给我，比如关于英国、英国文化或伦敦的问题，也可以是英语相关问题。如果有词汇或语法方面的疑问，我很乐意在播客中解答。

So what would you like to hear me talk about on this podcast? So send me a question. It could be a question about perhaps Britain or British culture or about London. It could be a question about English. If you've got a question about English vocabulary or grammar, I'm happy to answer your questions on the podcast.

这就是第一个问题：你们希望我聊什么？播客到此结束。别忘了通过luketeacher@hotmail.com给我发邮件，非常期待将来收到你们的来信。

So that's the first question. What would you like me to talk about? And that's it. That's the end of the podcast. Don't forget you can email me at luketeacher@hotmail.com, and I'm very much looking forward to hearing from you in the future.

就这样吧。再见。再见。再见。再见。

So that's it. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.
