Naff 差劲的
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 you might not find in your English textbook.
Jean: 学习英式英语非常重要的一部分就是要学习他们日常使用的英语口语，而且这些英语的通俗说法并不是经常能在书本上学到的。那Jo，我们今天要学的英语口语词是什么呢？
Jo: Today’s new word is ‘naff’ – N.A.F.F. – naff.
Jean: Naff. Naff是什么意思呢？
Jo: Well, naff is a slang word. It means bad, not good.
Jean: 那，naff就是不好的、很差的意思喽。那我们怎么用这个词呢？
Jo: Well, anytime you want to say something isn’t good. You could say ‘It’s naff.’ for example ‘I didn’t like the live music. It was naff.’
Jean: 就是说你觉得现场音乐都很差所以你不喜欢？
Jo: Yes. ‘It’s naff’ means ‘It isn’t good.’
