尼尔:大家好。


Helen: So Neil, where did you go last weekend?


海伦:尼尔,你上周末去哪儿了?

尼尔:我去了我家附近的旧货市场。那里有很多卖家在处理他们不需要的圣诞礼物。


Helen: So did you manage to pick up any bargains?

尼尔:是啊,难道不是吗?我仔细地看过了,这枚古币完好无损。


Helen: Good Nick? Who's Nick?


海伦:好尼克?谁是尼克?


Neil: Oh, I don’t mean Nick as a person’s name. When British people say ‘it’s in good nick’, we mean ‘it’s in good condition’,especially if it’s something that’s very old but still looks new. Here are a few examples:

2.My grandpa loves his 1960s motorbike and has worked very hard to kept it in good nick.

Neil: I know it sounds a bit strange to use a word that’s like a person’s name in this phrase, but it’s very authentic colloquial British English. ‘Nick’ here is slang for ‘condition’.


尼尔:我知道在把人名用在词组里感觉有点奇怪,不过这是一个很古老的英国英语的口语表达。Nick 在这里是“情况”这个词的俚语说法。


Helen: I see. Can we use the phrase to describe anything else in good condition?


海伦:我明白了。我们能用这个短语形容其他情况良好的事物吗?


Neil: Absolutely, how about my grandmother, she’s 96 and still does her own shopping, she’s in good nick.


尼尔:当然可以,以我奶奶来举例怎么样,她今年96岁了,现在还可以自己去购物。她现在状态良好。
