大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目，我是佳瑩。

Neil
… and hello, it’s me, Neil.

Jiaying
Neil，你穿著一身睡袍就來上班瞭…… You look ready to go to bed – no cap!

Neil
Thanks, Jiaying. I’m trying to look really relaxed today! So I put a dressing gown over my suit! And of course I’m not wearing a cap! It would look strange with a dressing gown! Why would you say that?

Jiaying
你沒理解我的意思，Neil！我說 “no cap”，是想強調 “剛剛我說的話都是真的，沒有撒謊”。

Neil
Ah… so you think I look relaxed then in my dressing gown?

Jiaying
Well, I actually said you look like you’re heading to bed – but you do look very relaxed. I’m not sure it’s the best thing to wear at work. No cap!

Neil
Oh, dear. Perhaps I should take it off and just stick to the suit. I think I might look a bit too relaxed.

Jiaying
Good idea! You can do that while we listen to these examples. No cap – they’re amazing!

Examples
That new song is the best thing I’ve ever heard! No cap!

No cap! You’re the funniest person I know! You always make me laugh!

I don’t like those mushrooms. No cap, they taste awful.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。上面，我們介紹瞭口語表達 “no cap” 的意思和用法。我們用流行表達 “no cap” 強調 “我沒跟你撒謊，說真的”。

Neil
Yes! We can also say ‘capping’ to mean lying! By the way, did I tell you that I won the lottery?

Jiaying
Stop capping, Neil! You didn’t win the lottery.

Neil
I’m not capping. I won the lottery! No cap!

Jiaying
這樣啊……如果你真的中瞭彩票，那你為什麼還在工作呢？Wouldn’t you rather be on holiday?

Neil
Well, first off, I love my job, no cap. I’d do it even if I won the lottery. And secondly, I didn’t say I’d won a million pounds!

Jiaying
True! How much did you win?
