Jo: Welcome to another Real English from BBC Learning English.
Oliver: 大家好，我是 Oliver，地道英語和大家一起學習現代英式英語中經常出現的流行詞匯和實用表達。那 Jo,今天給我們帶來的新詞是什么呢?
Jo: Today' word Oliver is freeloader. F.R.E.E.L.O.A.D.E.R. freeloader.
Oliver: 這個詞是什么意思呢?
Jo: Well a freeloader is a person who would be happy to stay at your house, eat your food or spend your money for free – but they would never give you anything back in return.
Oliver: 啊哈，我知道了。這個詞兒指的是非常愿意接受，但是從不想回報的人。Load 的本意是裝載的意思，而 free 就是免費的意思。放在一起就是免費裝載!
Jo: Freeloader. Now do you have a similar word in Chinese Oliver?
Oliver: 有，freeloader 用中文可以說白吃白喝或者吃白食的人?；旧鲜怯迷谡務撈渌说臅r候，很少當著別人的面這么說。

A: Have you noticed how Mike never buys a drink – we always buy him drinks but he never gets his money out.
B: I know. It gets on my nerves. He' such a freeloader.
Oliver: It' time to say goodbye and go for a cup of tea isn't it? Like we do after every programme Jo?
Jo: Well are you paying Oliver? I paid last time, and the time before, and the time before that – in fact you've never paid! In fact that' it – that' you – you're a freeloader, Oliver.
Oliver: 真想不到你會認為我是白吃白喝、吃白食的人。為了證明你是錯誤的，今天的晚飯我請，現在你可以收回你那句話了嗎？
