Feifei
大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。I’m Feifei.

Beth
And I’m Beth. We have an expression that means ‘relax, and often celebrate, particularly after a time of stress or pressure’. The phrase is ‘let loose’.

Feifei
我們在這期節目中要學習的表達是 “let loose”。Beth, can you give us an example of how we use this?

Beth
Well, Feifei, I know you’ve been training very hard for a marathon recently, and you’ve been eating very healthily. But I imagine once the run is done, you will let loose and eat some unhealthy food?

Feifei
Absolutely! 最近，我為瞭備戰馬拉松，一直在鍛煉身體、嚴格堅持健康的飲食計劃。不過，等到比賽結束後，我肯定會 “let loose”，放開瞭吃些沒那麼健康的東西，來犒勞自己這段時間作出的努力。You know what? I’ve been craving chocolate but haven’t had any for a few months!

Beth
Well, speaking of food, I recently worked with some actors, and after we wrapped on the filming, we all let loose and celebrated by ordering pizzas!

Feifei
Oh, don’t talk about pizza. I haven’t had one for ages!

Beth
Sorry. Let’s hear some more examples.

Examples
After his exams were done, he could finally celebrate and let loose.

You always dress so smartly. Let loose! Jeans are much comfier than those suit trousers.

After months of being on a diet, I let loose on holiday and had a few ice creams.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。上面我們介紹瞭表達 “let loose” 的意思和用法。“Let loose” 可以用來描述 “在一段緊張的工作或學習後放松放松”。

Beth
Now, you can ‘let loose’, but you can also ‘let a person loose’, and that has a different meaning. If you let someone or something loose, you give them freedom.

Feifei
Like how I let you loose on that video we’ve been filming, and it’s crazy! I think we need to film again!

Beth
Yeah, maybe. OK, let’s go!

Feifei
Bye-bye.

Beth
Bye!
