Rob
Hello, I’m Rob.
Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG 英語教學的《地道英語》節目。我是馮菲菲。Hey, happy birthday for last week, Rob.
Rob
Thanks, Feifei, yes, 21 years old. Where has the time gone?
Feifei
Rob 說自己21歲！Are you sure? You don’t act like a 21-year-old.
Rob
What are you saying exactly, Feifei?
Feifei
Well, err, look at your clothes – they’re not very trendy. They’re a bit boring.
Rob
Boring?
Feifei
Yes. And, come on, you’re not very youthful.
Rob
Youthful? Just because I haven’t got any tattoos – who wants a tattoo anyway, they look silly and they damage your skin.
Feifei
There you go – old fashioned attitudes – no way you’re 21!
Rob
Hmm, so you’re saying I’m a fuddy-duddy?
Feifei
名詞 fuddy-duddy 多在口語中使用，意思是“觀念守舊的人，枯燥無趣的人”。咱們來聽幾個例句。
Examples
Ling thinks I’m an old fuddy-duddy because I don’t drive a flashy sports car.
My dad’s a bit of a fuddy-duddy. He still listens to music on cassette tapes.
The bank has lost many customers over the years, probably due to its fuddy-duddy image.
Feifei
正如上面的最後一個例子，在英語裡，fuddy-duddy 除瞭可以形容觀念守舊的人以外，還可以形容機構的辦事方式古板從而顯得過於自大。But Rob, being a fuddy-duddy isn’t all bad.
Rob
Oh yes? Boring, old-fashioned – how can that be a good thing?
Feifei
Well, you make us all laugh.
Rob
Yes, but for the wrong reasons – I’m off.
Feifei
Oh dear, it seems like a fuddy-duddy doesn’t even have a sense of humour. Where are you going?
Rob
To get a tattoo done.
Feifei
It’ll hurt. Bye!
