John: Hello, this is Real English from BBC Learning English, I'm John.

Feifei: 大家好，我是冯菲菲。欢迎收听由BBC带给大家的地道英语。

John: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary.

Feifei: 和汉语一样，英语语言里也是有好多的成语和俗语。所以想要听得懂英国人日常的说话聊天，咱们就要多学点儿这些通俗用语和用法。John, I’ve always wondered how tall you are.

John: Have a guess!

Feifei: 185 centimetres?

John: Spot-on!

Feifei: What does that mean? Am I right then?

John: Yes, you are absolutely correct!

Feifei: 今天我们要学习的短语是 'spot-on'，它的意思是准确无误，完全正确的意思。So are there any other ways of using 'spot-on'?

John: Yes, let's listen to some examples.

Examples

A: How was your meal?

B: Oh, it was lovely. The combination of the wine and the food was spot-on!

A: Isn't that what you've been looking for?

B: Spot-on!

John: So 'spot-on' can mean exactly what we want or need in this case.

Feifei: 'Spot-on' 还可以用来表示正好是我们需要或是想要的东西，恰到好处的意思。Isn't it, John?

John: Spot-on!

Feifei: 那么我们今天学习到的短语'spot-on'的是准确无误，恰到好处的意思！我们今天的节目时间也到了。

John: Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. See you next time.

Feifei: Bye.
