學(xué)習(xí)英式英語非常重要的一部分就是要學(xué)習(xí)他們?nèi)粘Ｊ褂玫挠⒄Z口語，而且這些英語的通俗說法并不是經(jīng)常能在書本上學(xué)到的。那Jo，我們今天要學(xué)的英語口語詞是什么呢？
Jo: Today’s word is ‘butty’ – B.U.T.T.Y – butty.
Jean: Butty. Butty是什么意思呢？
Jo: Well, butty is an informal word meaning sandwich.
Jean: 我知道了，butty就是三明治的意思，是三明治在英國的一種通俗叫法。
Jo: Yes. You could say ‘I had a cheese butty for lunch.’
Jean: 就是說我午飯吃了一個(gè)奶酪三明治。
Jo: Absolutely.

A: Mum! I’m hungry!
B: Well, get yourself a butty or something.
A: What do you normally have for lunch in England?
B: I don’t have much time for lunch, so I usually just
have a butty from the local shop.
Jo: Do you like butties?
Jean: 偶爾吃吃還好，要頓頓吃butty我可受不了。你呢Jo？
Jo: Well, I love a butty sometimes. Chicken butties are my
favourite.
Jean: Mm, 雞肉三明治還是挺好吃的。
Jo: Some English people like chip butties. That’s a sandwich
with fried potatoes inside.
Jean: 兩片面包夾薯?xiàng)l？那也是三明治嗎?
Jo: Yes, I know it sounds horrible but chip butties are
great! It’s also worth mentioning that butty is more commonly used in the north
of England than in the south. Anyway, let’s recap – butty – is an informal word
for sandwich.
Jean: 對(duì)了，還需要特別說明的是Butty這個(gè)詞在英國的北部是最常用的。好了，讓我們?cè)倩仡櫼幌掳桑琤utty,
