Rob: Thats right. It wasnt working properly. If something isnt working as it should be, we sometimes say its playing up.
没错, (你的麦克风)出了问题。 假如什么东西不像它本来应该那样正常运作,我们就称之为 playing up。
Helen: Up not down?
用up而不是down吗?
Rob: No,playing down is a different expression that means something totally different.
不是,playing down(贬低;淡化)的意思完全不一样。
Helen: OK. So as the picture on my TV at home is flickering, I can say my TV is playing up?
哦。 也就是说如果我家的电视画面闪个不停的话,我也可以说TV出故障咯?
Rob: Exactly. Lets hear about some other things that are playing up
没错啦 让我们来听听例句,看看是什么东西失灵了:
I dont think Ill be able to give you a lift to work today; my cars been playing up.
我今天可能不能载你去上班了,我的车坏了
My phone keeps playing up. Every time I dial a number, it just switches itself off.
我的电话出了点小故障 每次我拨号的时候,总是自动关机。
Helen: That sounds like my phone! So if something isnt doing what is should do then its misbehaving?
