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。

Roy
… and me, Roy.

Feifei
Roy, what are you holding?!

Roy
This? It’s a sword.

Feifei
你拿一把劍是要幹什麼？

Roy
Well, I overheard you saying your friend Sandra is living in a bubble – so I asked my pal at the museum if I could borrow a sword to help your friend escape!

Feifei
No, Roy! 我剛才說 “Sandra lives in a bubble.” 的意思是她不願意接受新觀念、新事物，而且她的朋友們也大多都有同樣的思維方式。“Living in a bubble” 就是這期節目中我們要教給大傢的表達。

Roy
Ah… That makes more sense. I just imagined she might have got stuck in a bubble after washing her hands!

Feifei
Roy, your imagination never ceases to amaze me. You know what we should do?

Roy
I think we should listen to some examples.

Examples
Bob and his friends think that climate change isn’t real. They live in a bubble!

Nelson lives in a bubble. He never tries new food or goes out with new people.

Geraldine doesn’t want to meet my new friends. She thinks they live in a bubble.

Feifei
這裡是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。我們正在教給大傢 “living in a bubble” 這個表達的意思和用法。我們用 “living in a bubble” 形象地來形容某人生活在一個泡泡當中，不願意聽取與自己不同的意見，不願意接受新鮮事物；也就是說，一個人與外界沒有聯系，與世隔絕。

Roy
I think it’s sad when people live in a bubble, because they don’t get to experience new ideas or have their minds changed!

Feifei
I don’t live in a bubble. It’s why I like working with you – because you have very different ideas to me and I like listening to them. You’re always wrong, but I still like you.

Roy
Thanks, Feifei! I guess I should take this sword back to the museum.

Feifei
You should. Bye, Roy.

Roy
Bye!
