Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.
Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.
Jean: 和汉语一样，英语语言里是充满了成语和口语词的，所以学习和了解这些短语和口语词是非常有用的。尤其这些说法和语言都是英国人日常说到用到的。那Jo，我们今天要来学习的新词是什么呢？
Jo: Today’s new word is ‘to google’. That’s G.O.O.G.L.E. Google.
Jean: To google. What’s that?
Jo: Well, do you use the internet Jean?
Jean: Yes of course.
Jo: And have you ever looked for any information using the Google site?
Jean: Yes I have.
Jo: To google means to use a search engine like google or yahoo to find information.
Jean: 远离 google现在可以当成一个动词来用了，就是用因特网上的搜索引擎来搜索信息的意思。
Jo: Yes, you could say ‘I didn’t know the answer, so I googled it’.
Jean: 所以google完全就是网上搜索的意思了。
Jo: Absolutely.
Insert
A: Who was king of France in 1487?
B: I have absolutely no idea. Why don’t you google it?
Jean: Do you google a lot?
Jo: Yes I do, I google all the time.
Jean: What for?
Jo: Well, if I want information about something, or to find hotels and tourist information when I travel.
Jean: 好了，让我们来回顾一下，to google就是指在因特网上用搜索引擎来搜索信息。 And that’s all we have time for today.
Jo: Yes, that’s all. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
