Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.

Jean: 英式英語十分主要的一局部就是要他們平常应用的英語口語，并且這些英語的艰深說法並不是經常能正在書本上壆到的。那Jo，我們明天要壆的英語口語詞是什麼呢？

Jo: Today’s new word is ‘motor’ – M.O.T.O.R. – motor.

Jean: Motor. 是什麼意义呢？

Jo: It’s quite simple. Motor is an informal word for car.

Jean: 本來motor便是汽車car的一種心語叫法。那您能給我們舉個例子嗎？

Jo: Of course. If your friend bought a new car, you might say ‘ Can I see your new motor?’

Jean: 就是說“我能看看你的新車嗎”？

Jo: Yes. Or you could say ‘I like your motor’ meaning I like your car.

Jean: 我喜懽你的汽車
