Neil
OK. Not again. Why oh why is Feifei late for the studio this time? Seriously… Right, that does it. I’ll give her a call. Great. Let me go out and take a look. Feifei? Feifei! Where are you? Where has she gone? Oh, is that…? There she is!

Feifei
Oh, hi, Neil.

Neil
Where have you been? I’ve been looking all over the shop for you!

Feifei
你找我瞭？什麼？All over the shop? 我沒去商店啊，我去廁所瞭。

Neil
Thanks for the information.

Feifei
好瞭，你打住。其實我知道“all over the shop”的意思。這個表達的意思是“到處都是，哪兒都是，everywhere”。剛才 Neil 說“he has been looking all over the shop for me”的意思就是“他到處找我” 。

Neil
Well, I’m just glad I’ve found you. Now we can finally start the programme and explain our expression: ‘all over the shop’. Ah, we’ve already done that.

Feifei
是的，這個表達的意思是“到處”。請聽幾個例句。

Examples
Where were you? We looked all over the shop for you.

He left his dirty washing all over the shop. Our house was a real mess!

I spilled wine all over the shop when I tried to open that bottle. Oops.

Feifei
除瞭表達“到處”的意思，我們也可以用這個短語描述人或物“亂七八糟的，雜亂無章的”。請聽下面的例句。

Example
Sorry, I’m a bit all over the shop this morning. I forgot my ticket, my phone… I left my laptop at home. What’s wrong with me?

Neil
So there we go. You can look all over the shop for something or someone.

Feifei
And you can also leave things all over the shop – like the dirty clothes.

Neil
And you yourself can also be all over the shop – describing someone who is forgetful or disorganised. Though, not you, of course, Feifei.

Feifei
我可從來沒有 all over the shop。

Neil
And that is our phrase for this programme. Thank you, Feifei. Feifei? Feifei! Where’s she gone? Ah, Feifei’s sent me a message. “Just off to the shops. Need anything?” Very funny. Goodbye!
