Jo: Welcome to another Real English programme from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.
Helen: And I'm Helen. 地道英语中介绍的一些英语表达，你可能在英语课堂上学不到，但是它们在生活中却会经常出现。那 Jo，今天的新表达是什么呢?
Jo: Well, today we're going to look at the expression yummy mummy. Y.U.M.M.Y. M.U.M.M.Y. Yummy mummy.
Helen: Yummy 一般是说很好吃的东西，不过它也可以用来形容很吸引人。比如说。 He's yummy. She's a bit yummy.
Jo: That's right. So a yummy mummy is someone who is a mother but who is also very beautiful.
Helen: 这个词是和年轻妈妈们有关，很多妈妈们为了宝宝忙上忙下，根本就没时间考虑到自己的外貌。但是像那些名人妈妈们，因为有一大堆人帮忙，所以不像一般妈妈们那么受累，还是很时髦，很漂亮。学易网外语频道http://foreign.studyez.com中有更多的资料
Jo: So, someone like Victoria Beckham – she has three young sons but she always looks great, and she is very thin and fashionable. Angelina Jolie is another yummy mummy – she now has four children but always looks great!
Helen: Yummy 在这里的意思是漂亮，引人注目，它和 mummy 加在一起非常押韵。所以这个词在电视，杂志上都特别流行。 Insert
A: （Flicking through a magazine） Oh these yummy mummies make me sick. Look how thin she is – she only had a baby 6 months ago.
B: I know! I had mine 2 years ago and I still can't lose the weight.
Jo: Now Helen, you're having a baby – do you think you'll be a yummy mummy?
Helen: I wish Jo but I don't think that's going to happen. 作者: 幽幽草 时间: 2007-11-26 11:29
