Playing Up
失灵了
Rob: Hello, Im Rob.
Helen: Hi 大家好,我是 Helen 欢迎收听地道英语。
Rob: Hold on Helen. We cant hear you properly.
Helen: Whats happening?
Rob: I think your microphones playing up.
Helen: Playing up 玩起来?
Rob: Sorry, sorry, I didnt quite catch that.
Helen: Let me just push this button. There! 我的麦克刚才出问题了。But Rob you said the microphone was playing up?
Rob: Thats right. It wasnt working properly. You see, if something isnt working as it should be, we sometimes say its playing up.
Helen: 如果什么东西不像原来那么好用了,或者出现小故障,那么我们就可以说 its playing up. 只能是 playing up not down?
Rob: Nope. Playing down something is a different expression that means something totally different.
Helen: OK. So as the picture on my TV at home is flickering, I can say my TV is playing up?
Rob: Exactly. And lets hear about some other things that are playing up
I dont think Ill be able to give you a lift to work today; my cars been playing up.
My phone keeps playing up. Every time I dial a number, it just switches itself off.
