Jo: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English,
I’m Jo.
Jean: Hi 大家好，我是董征。歡迎收聽我們的Real English《地道英語》節目。
Jo: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you
might not find in your dictionary. ….. …oh, Jean I’m bored with presenting Real
English programmes…
Jean: 什么？You’re bored?
你悶了嗎？主持節目這么好玩的事情你怎么會悶呢？
Jo: Well, I’ve presented so many programmes, I just feel like
I’ve been there, done that, got the T-shirt.
Jean: 你這個說法很有意思，啊，我知道了，你講的這個就是今天我們要學的短語吧？
Jo: Oh yes, I suppose it could.
Jean: 那你再給我們說一邊好不好，慢一點說。
Jo: Been there,
Jean: 就是已經去過了….
Jo: Done that,
Jean: 也已經做過了….
Jo: Got the T-shirt.
Jean: 連留念T-shirt都買了。那這又怎么講呢？
Jo: Well you use this phrase if you’re bored with
something.
Jean: OK, 原來如果你想說你對某件事情早已經歷過，都已經厭倦了，就可以這樣說。
Jo: Or if you’re not very impressed with something.
Jean: 或者你對某件事情已經不再新鮮，都有點歷盡滄海難為水的感覺了，也可以用這個說法。
