大傢好，歡迎收聽 AYYBLOG 英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。在每期節目中，我們都會介紹一個英語母語人士或講英語流利的人常用的表達。I’m Feifei, and on this really cold day, I’m with Phil. But how come you’re not cold, Phil?

Phil
Ah well, I’ve just had lunch. Hot soup – hot potato and leek soup. It’s perfect for a winter’s day. It’s my go-to for a cold day.

Feifei
Your go-to? That sounds like it could be the expression of this programme.

Phil
Why not? A ‘go-to’ is something that you, well, go to a lot, or in a particular situation.

Feifei
A ‘go-to’ is a preferred option – so if I said Phil was my go-to for soup, he’d be my preferred option when I need someone to make me soup.

Phil
And you can have a go-to for anything – a nice cafe might be your go-to for lunch; a quiet spot might be your go-to to relax. You might even have an outfit that’s your go-to for parties.

Feifei
Let’s hear some more examples of people using ‘go-to’.

Examples
When I’m trying to get warm in the winter, my hot water bottle is my go-to.

There’s a small butcher near my home which is my go-to for fresh lamb chops.

I’m so annoyed because my programme that’s my go-to for relaxing in the evening has been cancelled, and now I don’t know what I’m going to do.

你正在收聽的是 AYYBLOG 英語教學的 “地道英語” 節目。以上我們一起學習瞭表達 “go-to” 的用法。“Go-to” 可以作名詞，意思就是 “想要完成某件事時的首選方式”，它既可以是 “一種做法”，還可以是 “一個工具、一個地點” 等等。

Phil
We could also go-to as a compound adjective. We already know that I’m your go-to guy for soup.

Feifei
Yes, you are. “Go-to” 還可以作復合形容詞用，意思就是 “想要完成某事時首選的…”。就比如說，Phil 不但是我想喝湯時的首選大廚，還是我在學英語表達時的首選專傢——“Phil is also my go-to expert for English expressions.”

Phil
We can talk about go-to options, go-to holiday spots, a go-to resource to find answers to things.

Feifei
And, if you’re looking for a go-to website to learn English from, look no further than AYYBLOG Learning English! We’ll be back next time with another expression.

Phil
See you then. Bye!

Feifei
Bye-bye!
