And I'm Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil. Hey , shouldn't we be celebrating?

慶祝？我們為什么要慶祝啊？ Why?

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Haven't we presented a hundred of these Authentic Real English programmes together?

A hundred? Oh no, we've done way more than that. I could present these programmes standing on my head!

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Oh, that I would love to see!

Not literally – I mean do it easily, without difficulty. 在英語里，我們用表達“standing on your head 倒立”來指“做某事輕而易舉，毫不費力”，但并不是說我真的要一邊“拿大頂”，一邊錄節目。

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

I know that , but you probably could present this programme standing on your head because you're an old hand at it.

Excuse me? 竟然說我的手看起來很老，簡直太沒禮貌了！How rude!

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Don't worry, I wasn't referring to your hands – they look lovely. If you are an old hand at doing something, it means you are very skilled and experienced. It was a compliment!

Oh right, thanks. 所以，“an old hand”其實是一句用來稱贊別人的話，相當于漢語中說的“老手”。如果我說某個人是“an old hand”，其實是在夸這個人做某事非常熟練、富有經驗。下面我們來聽一聽這個表達在實際會話中的應用。

Examples

Let's get Mike in to solve our IT problem, shall we? He's an old hand at fixing computers.

Miguel is an old hand at map reading so let's make him the leader on our mountain trek.

I can see you're an old hand at project management. It would have taken me days to create a spreadsheet like that!

這里是 BBC 英語教學的《》節目。這次我們要學習的地道表達是“an old hand”，它用來形容一個人精通于做某事，或者描述一個人是某個行當的“老手”。

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

It's a handy phrase, isn't it! But come on, , you are such 'an old hand', why not have a go at really presenting standing on your head?

OK, Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil, as you're paying me a compliment. Here goes… oh, give a hand…Ouch!

Neil">Neil">Neil">Neil

Are you OK? I think you should stick to doing what you are most skilled and experienced at.

You mean not listening to your silly suggestions.

Neil">Neil

I'm an old hand at making silly suggestions, !

Hmmm, let's forget our celebration, shall we! Bye!

Neil">Neil

Bye.
