Hello and welcome to the English We Speak.

哈囉，歡迎收聽《道地英文》。

Now, for this program, we're going to need two sounds, a slap and a bang.

那麼，在這個節目裡，我們需要兩種聲音，一個是「啪」，一個是「砰」。

It's a clue for our authentic English expression.

這是我們今天要介紹的道地英文表達的線索。

It is when you want to describe something that is directly or exactly in a particular place.

當你想形容某樣東西正好或直接位於某個特定位置時，它就是一個片語。

It's often used with a short phrase in the middle of something very precise.

它常常和一個簡短的片語一起使用，用來表示非常精確的位置。

So the expression slap-bang is an informal way of saying exactly in a certain place.

所以，slap-bang 是一種非正式的說法，意思是正好在某個位置。

So not a bit to the left or a bit to the right.

所以不是偏左一點，也不是偏右一點。

不是，slap-bang 的意思就是「正好」。

And we are slap-bang in the middle of this program.

而我們現在正好就在這個節目的正中央。

The ball went slap-bang into the middle of the net.

I couldn't find my phone anywhere and there it was. Slap-bang in the middle of the table.

我到處都找不到我的手機，結果它就在那裡，正好放在桌子的正中央。

If you take the train to Edinburgh, you'll see the castle slap-bang in front of you when you come out of the station.

如果你搭火車到愛丁堡，當你走出車站時，會看到城堡正好在你面前。

This is the English We Speak from BBC Learning English.

這裡是 BBC Learning English 的《English We Speak》。

And we're talking about the expression slap-bang,

我們正在談的是 slap-bang 這個表達，

which means exactly or directly in a particular place.

意思是正好或直接位於某個特定的位置。

And you don't need to make the slap or bang sound every time you say it.

而你不需要每次說這個詞的時候都真的發出「啪」或「砰」的聲音。

Well, Rob, I'm off to meet some friends at a pub, which is slap-bang in the middle of town.

那麼，Rob，我要去和朋友在一家酒吧碰面，那家酒吧正好就在市中心。

Oh, just Neil, Roy, Sam and Georgina from the office.

喔，就是辦公室裡的 Neil、Roy、Sam 和 Georgina。

Well, that is a bit of a slap in the face.

嗯，那還真是有點像被打了一巴掌。

Meaning an insult that you weren't expecting.

意思是你沒有預期到的一種羞辱。

不過，抱歉，你還是沒有被邀請。

OK then. I'll stay here and play with these sound effects.

好吧，那我就留在這裡玩這些音效。
