Jo: This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Jo.

Helen: And I'm Helen. 迎收聽 BBC 的地道英語節目，期望在下面的兩分鐘里，你能學到英式英語中常見的一些表達方法。Jo, 你先說吧。

Jo: Today's word is cocky. C.O.C.K.Y. Cocky.

Helen: 那這的意思是呢?

Jo: Well a cocky person is someone who is very self-confident and perhaps a little arrogant^1.

Helen: Ah, 這個詞是來形容一個很自信，有點目空一切的人，cocky.

Jo: It's quite an informal word used in a disapproving^{2 way.}

Helen: 這也是一個非正式表達，而且還帶有一點負面的意識，所以別用 cocky 來描繪自己是個充滿自信的人。

Jo: So for example, someone you work with might think they know everything really well and make you feel less important because you don't know how to do certain things.

Helen: 你的意思是說在公司常常會有那種自覺得什么都懂，比別的人都能干的人。

Insert

A: He really gets on my nerves he thinks he's so wonderful!

B: Yeah he is a bit cocky isn't he?

A: Linda ran the marathon in four hours I could easily beat that!

B: Don't get too cocky it took you two and half hours to run a half marathon!

Jo: Actually Helen, I've been studying Chinese recently and I'm getting really good.

Helen: 哦，是嗎? 這么說你的中文目前是突飛猛進，看來過不了多長時間，你就能獨立做這個節目了。

Jo: Erm 是的，你說對了。

Helen: Ha 看來，她并沒完全聽懂我。Jo is getting a bit too cocky!

Jo: Anyway that's all from Real English. If you want to learn more words and expressions like you have today, you can find lots more on our website www.bbcchina.com.cn. See you again soon.

Helen: 大家下次節目再見!
