Finn
Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English. I'm Finn.

Helen
Hello everyone. 欢迎收听BBC英语教学的《地道英语》节目。我是 Helen.

Finn
You look a bit different today.

Helen
Oh really? In what way?

Finn
Erm, you are glowing, you look so energised.

Helen
真的吗？谢谢。我刚和朋友去了一个小岛度假。

Finn
So you were away for the weekend.

Helen
是啊，特别棒，这是我最难忘的一次旅行了。

Finn
Sounds great! What was it like?

Helen
Sun, sea, just beautiful and tranquil.

Finn
Was it expensive?

Helen
价格超划算，包括往返机票才不到200镑。

Finn
Helen, you've sold it to me.

Helen
Em, but I don't sell holidays. I just make English-learning programmes.

Finn
No, what I mean is that I want to go. You've sold me the idea of going away on holiday to this island. You know 'you've sold it to me' is a very colloquial way of saying 'you've convinced me'.

噢，原来你说的“ You've sold it to me ” 这个短语并不是指“你卖了东西给我”，Finn 你的意思是说你完全被我的话所打动了，也想去度假。这是一个通俗表达，让我们来听几个例句吧：

Examples
A: I lost five pounds just after a week on this new diet. It's definitely worth a try.
B: Right, You've sold it to me. I definitely need to get in shape for my school reunion.

A: Your phone looks amazing.
B: It's brilliant, does everything, fab photos and great apps. AND it only cost me 10 pounds.
A: 10 pounds. You've sold it to me. Where can I get one today?

Helen
If you are serious about going, you'd better hurry. I think the special offer ends today at noon.

Finn
What, I can't believe it. It's just past noon!

Helen
Oh no, I'm sorry. I'm sure there'll be another chance later.

Finn
Just my luck!
