Hello, I'm Neil.

Feifei
大家好，我是冯菲菲。欢迎收听BBC英语教学的《地道英语》节目。

Neil
Do you know someone asked me for an autograph the other day?

Feifei
要你的签名？

Neil
Yes, they thought I was someone famous – which of course, I'm not.

Feifei
Well you are sort of famous – being a presenter of Authentic Real English.

Neil
Oh yeah! Maybe I am. People want to take a selfie with me, buying me presents, me at the Oscars winning awards, fans everywhere, cameras flashing…

Feifei
Neil, Neil wake up. 你是在做白日梦吧？Don't get carried away. You know if you were famous, you'd get lots of public attention – it comes with the territory.

Neil
You're right Feifei – the paparazzi would be following me everywhere – I wouldn't like that – but you used a good phrase there – 'it comes with the territory'.

Feifei
Yes. 在英语里，我们可以用“come with the territory”或“go with the territory”来表示“某事是难免的，属于必然的结果”。

Neil
Let's hear some examples.

Examples
The job involves a lot of travelling, but I guess that comes with the territory.

If you're gonna play rugby, you're gonna get hurt – injuries go with the territory!

Feifei
如果一件事情的发生是由一个特定的情况所引起的，那么我们就可以说“it comes with the territory”或“it goes with the territory”。Let's face it Neil, perhaps it's a good thing that we're not famous.

Neil
I guess not. I'll just carry on teaching English and making tea for everyone.

Feifei
Well, in our job, tea making comes with the territory.

Neil
You're right – I think I'll go back to daydreaming. Bye.

Feifei
Bye.
