BBC Learning English 大家好,欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的地道英语节目。
在每期节目中,我们都会介绍一个英语母语人士或将英语流利的人会用到的习惯用语或短语。 I'm Fei Fei and I'm joined by Georgie. Hi Georgie, are you ready to begin? Yes, I am. But actually Fei Fei, I was thinking about switching up the format of this program a bit. Try something a little different. What do you think? I'm not sure about that, Georgie. We have to do things by the book around here.
We can't just make up last minute changes whenever we like. OK, I suppose that makes sense. Well, you just said we do things by the book and that's the phrase we're looking at in this programme. Can you explain what you meant by we do things by the book, Feifei? Yes. I mean that we follow the rules exactly without improvising.
So to remember it, maybe imagine a book of rules that you follow, but it doesn't have to be a physical book of rules. Let's hear some examples from our BBC Learning English colleagues. I know when some people are cooking, they just like throw any old ingredients in there and make it up as they go along, but I like to do it by the book and follow the recipe.
I do everything by the book, and it does make it slower, which can be a bit annoying, but yeah, got to follow the rules. Our accountant is very thorough. He does everything by the book, so I trust his judgment. 你正在收听的是 BBC 英语教学的地道英语节目。 以上我们一起学习了 by the book 的用法。 By the book 是一个习惯用语, 它的意思是严格按照规定。
想像你在做一件事情的时候需要按照具体的规定完成,甚至需要拿着一本手册一步一步的对照着做,就不难理解 by the book 的含义了。 所以 do something by the book 的意思就是照章办事,按照规定做事,不进行临时或即兴的修改。
Yes, you can use other verbs too. For example, we need to complete the paperwork by the book to make sure it's all correct. 是的,除了 do something by the book 之外, 我们还可以用动词 complete something by the book. 他们的意思都是照章办事, 严格按照规定做事。 Well, that's it from us. Thanks for joining us. Bye. Bye bye.
Yoga is more than just exercise. It's the spiritual practice that millions swear by.
And in 2017, Miranda, a university tutor from London, joins a yoga school that promises profound transformation. It felt a really safe and welcoming space. After the yoga classes, I felt amazing. But soon, that calm, welcoming atmosphere leads to something far darker, a journey that leads to allegations of grooming, trafficking and exploitation across international borders. ♪
I don't have my passport, I don't have my phone, I don't have my bank cards, I have nothing. The passport being taken, the being in a house and not feeling like they can leave.
You just get sucked in so gradually.
And it's done so skillfully that you don't realize. And it's like this, the secret that's there. I wanted to believe that, you know, that whatever they were doing, even if it seemed gross to me,
was for some spiritual reason that I couldn't yet understand. Revealing the hidden secrets of a global yoga network. I feel that I have no other choice. The only thing I can do is to speak about this and to put my reputation and everything else on the line. I want truth and justice.
And for other people to not be hurt, for things to be different in the future. To bring it into the light and almost alchemise some of that evil stuff that went on and take back the power. World of Secrets, Season 6, The Bad Guru. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.
