The english we speak(BBC教学)第330期:Suck it and see 试试看
Neil has been offered a dream job at a sweet factory. But he's not convinced he'll enjoy it. In this programme we learn a phrase about experiencing new things.
一家糖果工厂为尼尔提供了一份他梦寐以求的工作。但是他不确定他是否会喜欢这份工作。本期节目我们将学习一个与体验新事物有关的短语。Feifei: Welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Feifei.
菲菲：欢迎收听地道英语节目。我是菲菲。Neil: And I'm Neil.
尼尔：我是尼尔。
Feifei: And Neil, this might be the last ever time we see each other! All ready for your new job at... where was it again?
菲菲：尼尔，这可能是我们最后一次见面了！你已经为新工作做好准备了……你要去哪儿上班来着？Neil: A sweet factory.
尼尔：一家糖果厂。Feifei: Quite a big change from radio production.
菲菲：从广播节目制作到糖果厂，真是相当大的变化。Neil: Yeah, well they pay very well. And I love sweets. I'll just suck it and see.
尼尔：对，他们的薪资不错。而且我也很喜欢糖果。我打算试试看。Feifei: Suck... the sweets?
菲菲：吸吮……糖果吗？Neil: No, you know what I mean!
尼尔：不是，你知道我的意思！Feifei: Yes, just kidding. The phrase suck it and see is used when you do something new and you're not sure whether you will like it or not – like a new job.
菲菲：对，我只是开个玩笑。在你尝试新鲜事物可是又不确定自己是否会喜欢的时候就可以用suck it and see这个短语，比如开始一份新工作的时候。Neil: Here are some examples:

菲菲：听到尼尔不是真的要走，大家应该会很高兴。Neil: I realised I can explore my passion for sweets without actually working in a sweet factory. In fact, I have some right here.
尼尔：因为我意识到，就算不在糖果厂工作，我也能体验我对糖果的热情。其实，我这里就有一些糖果。Feifei: Ooh, lovely. Very bright colours. Mind if I...?
菲菲：哦，太好了。颜色好鲜艳啊。你介意我……？Neil: Please, try one.
尼尔：请尝尝吧。Feifei: What flavours are they?
菲菲：它们是什么口味的？Neil: I've got no idea. You'll just have to...
