And I'm Neil. Hey, thanks for joining me today, Feifei.

我是 Neil。嘿，謝謝你今天加入我的行列，Feifei。

No problem, Neil. I wanted to give you my support for your first run in the park.

沒問題，Neil。 我想為你第一次在公園跑步提供支持。

Well, this run in the park is only five kilometres.

嗯，公園裡的這段跑步只有五公里。

I know, but you're not particularly fit and you haven't done much training.

我知道，但你身材不是特別好，也沒有進行太多訓練。

Oh don't worry about that - this will be a walk in the park!

噢，別擔心——這就像在公園散步一樣！

Err, Neil, I hope you're not thinking of walking around the park. This is a run, a run in the park!

Neil，我希望你不是想在公園散步。 這是跑步，在公園跑步！

I have no intention of walkingl. It's just an expression that means it's easy to do, especially compared to other activities.

我沒打算走路。這只是一個表達，意味著它很容易做到，特別是與其他活動相比。

I'm glad to hear that because it's just about to start. Let's hope you really do find it easy!

我很高興聽到你這樣說，因為一切才剛開始。 希望你真的發現這很容易！

Don't worry, I will have finished by the time you hear these examples...

別擔心，在你聽到這些例子前我就跑完了。

I've been studying for so long. This exam should be a walk in the park.

我讀書讀了這麼久，這次考試應該很簡單。

Oh, don't worry about me, I've trekked in the Himalayas. This hill will be a walk in the park!

哦，別擔心我，我已經徒步走過喜馬拉雅山了。 這座山將是易如反掌。

The job at the bank will be a walk in the park. You studied economics at university!

在銀行的工作對你來說將會是小菜一碟。 你在大學學過經濟學！

You're listening to The English We Speak from BBC Learning English, and Neil has been using the phrase 'a walk in the park' to explain that a run in the park is easy, especially when compared to other activities, like running a full marathon, for example.

你正在收聽 BBC 學習英語的《我們說的英語》，Neil 一直在使用「a walk in the park」這個短語來解釋在公園裡跑步很容易，尤其是與其他活動相比，例如跑全馬。

But where is Neil now?

但 Neil 現在在哪裡？

Here I am. Oh, that was hard.

我在這裡。哦，這很難。

So that run wasn't a walk in the park then? That's a shame.

所以說，這次跑步並沒有那麼簡單。那真是太可惜了。

Why's that?

為什麼呢？

Well, I thought that if running in the park was too easy, you could train for next year's London Marathon.

我想如果在公園裡跑步太容易的話，你可以為明年的倫敦馬拉松訓練。

It's over 42 kilometres . That would be no walk in the park.

超過 42公里，沒有那麼簡單。

Could we just park that idea, please?! I'm going to do another activity to keep fit and healthy.

我們能不能把這個想法暫停一下。我要去做另一個活動以保持身體健康。

Oh yes, what's that?

哦，好啊，做什麼？

Walking. In the park!

在公園裡走路！

Good idea. Bye!

好主意。拜拜!

Bye.

再見。
