Feifei

大家好,欢迎来到 BBC 英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我是冯菲菲。

Rob

And hello, I’m Rob。

Feifei

Rob,would you mind wiping those crumbs from your mouth?

Rob

Oh, sorry!

Feifei

Do you know, it’s very strange。 I made a cake a last night and brought it into work today to share with you。

Rob

Oh, that’s very kind…

Feifei

Yes, but it seems to have vanished into thin air。

Rob

Well, you’re a magician – you’ve made a cake disappear?

Feifei

No, Rob。 I mean it’s mysteriously and suddenly disappeared。 短语 “vanish into thin air” 的意思是一个物体或人突然神秘地消失得无影无踪,好比烟消云散。You haven’t seen the cake, have you, Rob?

Rob

Er, no, Feifei – no sign of your ‘disappearing’ cake。

Feifei

OK, well, let’s hear some examples of this phrase – let’s hope they haven’t suddenly disappeared!

ExamplesI can’t remember where I’ve parked the car! I think it’s vanished into thin air。

Have you seen the boss? Someone important needs to talk to him but I can’t find him anywhere。  It’s like he’s vanished into thin air!

Has anyone seen my glasses? They’ve vanished into thin air!

Feifei

这里是 BBC 英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。我们正在教给大家的表达是 “vanish into thin air”。它可以描述一个人或物体突然间神秘地消失得无影无踪。So any sign of my cake?

Rob

Err, no, no。

Feifei

Very odd。 I put it on my desk this morning and went to make a cup of coffee and when I returned, it had gone。 

DanGreat cake, Rob! Thanks for sharing it。 I hope you’ll be baking again soon! Ha, see ya!

Feifei

Rob!

RobSorry, Feifei。 It was so tempting, so delicious, so I thought…

FeifeiSo you thought you’d eat it?

RobWell, it helped us demonstrate today’s phrase。

FeifeiThere’s just one thing I want to vanish into thin air。

Rob

And what’s that?

Feifei

You, Rob! Now I’m off to bake a cake - for me。

Rob

See ya! Oh, she’s gone。
