Rob 因?yàn)楣?jié)目稿子沒(méi)寫(xiě)完，非常緊張而且表現(xiàn)得有點(diǎn)兒過(guò)于激動(dòng)。不過(guò)菲菲用了一個(gè)有 “mountain 山”和“mole 鼴鼠”的表達(dá)給 Rob 講道理，這個(gè)表達(dá)是什么?Rob 的稿子沒(méi)寫(xiě)完怎么辦?聽(tīng)節(jié)目，學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)表示“小題大做”的短語(yǔ)。

文字稿

(關(guān)于臺(tái)詞的備注: 請(qǐng)注意這不是廣播節(jié)目的逐字稿件。本文稿可能沒(méi)有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過(guò)程中對(duì)節(jié)目做出的改變。)

Feifei

大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC 英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的《地道英語(yǔ)》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲，還有我的搭檔 Rob。Are you OK Rob?

Rob

No, I'm not. I haven't finished writing the script for this programme – I still don't know how it's going to end.

Feifei

Rob 為了寫(xiě)這個(gè)節(jié)目的稿子，急得團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)，不至于吧!Rob, it's not important.

Rob

What?! A script is not important – how am I going to make this programme word-perfect, without any mistakes? What will the audience think of me?

Feifei

At the moment, they probably think you are a little crazy – 你這樣的反應(yīng)有點(diǎn)兒過(guò)火吧，you're overreacting Rob – you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

Rob

Making a mountain out of a molehill! I won't be making any mountains, I haven't got time.

Feifei

No, Rob – it's just a saying! Make a mountain out of a molehill 是一個(gè)固定表達(dá)，意思就是“小題大做，反應(yīng)過(guò)激”。So, calm down Rob, it's not a big issue not having a script, is it?

Rob

[silence]

Feifei

Rob?

Rob

Er, I don't know what to say. It's not on the script.

Feifei

Oh dear – we'd better hear some other examples of this phrase.

Examples

I only asked him to do the shopping and now he's going on about how he has no time to go to the pub – he's making a mountain out of a molehill.

It's only a 2000 word essay; stop making a mountain out of a molehill!

Feifei

我們多用這個(gè)表達(dá)來(lái)形容某人把一件小事故意擴(kuò)大，使其看起來(lái)比實(shí)際的糟糕。And Rob, not finishing a script for this programme is a small problem.

Rob

If you say so, Feifei.

Feifei

Just do what we always do – 臨場(chǎng)發(fā)揮。Make it up!

Rob

OK, I'll try. Hold on, what's that?

Look! A real mole has buried into the studio – so now we have a real molehill to make a mountain out of.

Feifei

You would never have written that in a script Rob!

Rob.

True. Bye!
