Feifei:Morning, Neil. In a rush today, were you?

Neil:Just a bit, Feifei. You know, kids, breakfast, commute. The usual. Why?

Feifei:Well – I noticed your shirt isn’t ironed.

Neil:Very attentive of you.

Feifei:And your shirt has – ketchup on it?

Neil:Oops, yes – beans for breakfast.

Feifei:And you haven’t shaved, have you?

Neil:Well. Erm…

Feifei:You really do need to make more of an effort.

Neil:Feifei, why are you having a go at me?

Feifei:Relax, Neil. I’m just giving you the opportunity to use the phrase we are teaching, which is: ‘have a go’!

Neil:Well, that’s a relief. ‘To have a go at someone’, as we’ve just seen, means to criticise someone.

Feifei:是的,英式表达“ have a go at someone”的实际意思是“指责、批评、数落某人”。 这是一个口语中常用的说法。

Neil:Let’s hear some examples.

Examples

The boss really had a go at Michaela after she offended our clients.

Susie had a go at her husband last night. He’d forgotten all about her birthday.

Why do you always have a go at me? Why can’t you say something nice?

Feifei:好了,“to have a go at someone” 就是我们要教给大家的表达。

Neil:There. Can we be nice to each other now?

Feifei:Well, we can have a go!

Neil:Ah, very clever. ‘To have a go’ has another meaning – ‘to try’.

Feifei:没错,“to have a go”的另一个意思是“尝试做某件事”。

Neil:Why don’t you have a go at making an example sentence, Feifei?

Feifei:没问题,我用“have a go”造个句:I’m going to have a go at cooking a Thai curry from scratch.

Neil:Tasty. ‘To have a go’ meaning ‘to try’. And one last thing, Feifei. Do I really look scruffy?

Feifei:Not at all. Though you could shave once in a while.

Neil:I’ll have a go. Just for you, Feifei.

Feifei:Bye.

Neil:Goodbye.
