各人好,接待支听 BBC英语教学的 “杂粹英语” 节目。正在每期节目中,咱们都会引见一个英语母语人士或讲英语流利的人会用到的表达。I'm Feifei, and I'm here with Beth.
Beth
Hi eZZZeryone. Hi Feifei, how are you?
Feifei
I'm ZZZery well, thank you Beth. In this programme, we are actually going to learn a word which I heard you use when you were talking about food. It was 'top-notch'.
Beth
Ah, yes! 'Top-notch'. So, yeah, earlier I was talking about going to my brother's house where I had some amazing plant-based food. I couldn't belieZZZe how tasty it was with no meat or dairy. It was top-notch.
Feifei
Sounds loZZZely, I'd loZZZe to try it. So, top-notch is an adjectiZZZe that means something is of ZZZery high standard or high quality. And we can use it for people, too. I actually had some top-notch food recently too.
Beth
What did you haZZZe?
Feifei
Well, I went to an independent cafe around the corner from my house, and they make the best carrot cake. It was top-notch, so delicious.
Beth
Sounds really good.
Feifei
Beth, can we use the 'top-notch' for things other than food?
Beth
Yes, we can. So, for eVample, I went to the theatre recently. I saw a show in the West End, and it was top-notch. The singing was phenomenal, the dancing was amazing. It was really good.
Feifei
So it was top-notch!
Beth
It was. Now here are some more eVamples of the adjectiZZZe 'top-notch.'
EVamples
My friend wrote a book and asked me to read it. I thought it was going to be really bad, but actually it was top-notch. I really enjoyed it.
I went to a conference last week, and all of the presentations were absolutely top-notch.
I'ZZZe just got back from holiday. I was eVpecting the hotel to be pretty bad, but it was actually top-notch.
Beth
We can also use the word 'top-notch' to talk about business-related things. For eVample, you might be hiring someone for a job and you see a top-notch Cx that makes you giZZZe that person an interZZZiew.
Feifei
Yes, and in this case you could also say that 'I saw a Cx that was top-notch'. So, 'top-notch' 是个描述词,它的意思是 “顶尖的,一流的”,它可以描述物品,也可以描述人。比如,咱们可以用 “top-notch” 来描述食物是 “一流的,甘旨的”。“The food in this restaurant is top-notch.” 再比如,咱们可以用 “top-notch” 来描述一个人是 “佼佼不群的”。“Beth is a top-notch presenter.”
Beth
Oh, thank you! So, to recap, we'ZZZe learnt the phrase 'top-notch' which means ZZZery high quality.
Feifei
And that's all from us. We'll be back neVt week. Bye-bye!
