Jo:This is Real English from BBC Learning English. I’m Jo.

Jean:And I’m Jean.

Jo:Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently become part of the English language.

Jean:在《地道英语》节目中,我们要来了解和学习一些英国英语语言中新出现的新词汇和短语。

Jo:It’s very important to stay up-to-date with English because new words and expressions enter the language all the time.

Jean:那我们今天的新词汇是什么呢?Jo?

Jo:Today’s expression is 'wi-fi' – W.I. and F.I. Wi-fi.

Jean:Wi-fi. Wi-fi 是什么东西呢?

Jo:Well, Wi-fi is short for wireless fidelity. It means that instead of using wires, your computer is connected to the internet or other computers by radio.

Jean:原来 wi-fi 就是一种不需要把电脑连在传统的线路上,就能直接快速上网的无线技术。

Jo:That’s right. You could say 'I work in a very modern office. Everything’s wi-fi.'

Jean:I see.
