john: hello, this is real english from bbc learning english, i’m john.
jean: hi. 大家好，我是董征。欢迎收听real english《地道英语》节目!
john: in real english, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
jean: 和汉语一样，英语里也是有着非常多的成语和俗话的，所以要想能听得懂英国人日常的说话聊天，就一定要来学学这些他们常用的'通俗词语。 那么请问john 我们今天要学的新词是什么呢?
john: today’s new word is ‘upgrade’ – u.p.g.r.a.d.e. – upgrade.
jean: upgrade. 能给我们解释一下它的意思吗?
john: well, the main meaning of upgrade means to make a machine, or a computer for example, more powerful and efficient.
jean: upgrade 就是为了让电脑增强性能和速度的措施：升级。那能给我们举个例子讲讲吗，john?
john: no problem. if your computer was old and slow, you could buy a new one or get an upgrade.
jean: i see.
john: then you could say, ‘my computer has been upgraded’.
jean: 我知道了，upgrade“升级”本身是个动词，而且它在被动式的语态的时候就是表示已经被升级的意思。那john你能给我们说说，upgrade这个词还有什么其他的用法吗?
john: well, it can also mean to give you a better seat on a plane, to a better room in a hotel. you might, for example,-and if you are very lucky, get upgraded from economy class on a plane to business or first class.
jean: 原来upgrade用到坐飞机的时候就是“升舱”，如果是住酒店就是换到更高级的房间，总之都是调换到更高一级的意思。
john: that’s right.
insert
a: how was your flight?
b: great! we got upgraded to first class and spent the whole way back drinking free champagne.
a: my computer’s really slow. i think i’ll buy a new one.
b: that’ll be expensive. why don’t you get it upgraded? that’ll be much cheaper.
jean: so are you happy with your computer, john?
john: no – i need to get it upgraded.
jean: is it expensive to get it upgraded?
john: no. getting it upgraded will be cheaper than buying a new one.
jean: i see.
john: and then hopefully the next time i fly i will be upgraded too!
jean: that would be nice.
john: yes, it would. i would like to fly first class.
好了，让我们再来回顾一下， – upgrade – 就是电脑升级的意思。用到其它地方还有坐飞机升舱，住酒店升级房间的意思。
jean: well, it looks like we are running out of time.
john: yes, we have to go. you’ve been listening to real english from bbc learning english. join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute real english. bye.
jean: see you next time.
