BBC Learning English 大家好,欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的第一道英语节目。 在每期节目中,我们都会介绍一个英语母语人士或讲英语流利的人常用的表达。 I'm Fei Fei, and on this really cold day, I'm with Phil. But how come you're not cold, Phil? Ah, well, I've just had lunch. Hot soup, hot potato and leek soup.
It's perfect for winter's day. It's my go-to for a cold day. Your go-to. That sounds like it could be the expression of this programme. Why not? A go-to is something that you, well, go to a lot or in a particular situation. A go-to is a preferred option. So if I said Phil was my go-to for soup, he'd be my preferred option when I need someone to make me soup.
And you can have a go-to for anything. A nice cafe might be your go-to for lunch. A quiet spot might be your go-to to relax. You might even have an outfit that's your go-to for parties. Let's hear some more examples of people using go-to. When I'm trying to get warm in the winter, my hot water bottle is my go-to. There's a small butcher near my home which is my go-to for fresh lamb chops.
I'm so annoyed because my program that's my go-to for relaxing in the evening has been cancelled and now I don't know what I'm going to do. 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表达 go-to 的用法。 Go-to 可以做名词,意思就是想要完成某件事实的首选方式。 它既可以是一种做法,还可以是一个工具,一个地点等等。
We can also use go to as a compound adjective. We already know that I'm your go-to guy for soup. Yes, you are. Go to 还可以做复合形容词用,意思就是想要完成某事时首选的什么什么。 就比如说,Phil 不但是我想喝汤时的首选大厨, 还是我在学英语表达时的首选专家。
Phil is also my go-to expert for English expressions. We can talk about go-to options, go-to holiday spots, a go-to resource to find answers to things. And if you're looking for a go-to website to learn English from, look no further than BBC Learning English. We'll be back next time with another expression. See you then. Bye. Bye-bye.
