大家好，欢迎收听BBC英语教学的《地道英语》节目，我是冯菲菲。
Neil
… and… hello… I'm Neil.
Feifei
Err… Neil, could we have your attention, please?
Neil
Sorry, Feifei. I'm still trying to finish the script for this programme.
Feifei
什么？现在要录的节目的稿子还没写完？ So what's going to happen today, Neil?
Neil
Hmmm… I thought that you could pretend to arrive late… I've lost my coffee… I just need to think of an authentic real English phrase to use…
Feifei
Oh come on, Neil, there's no need to reinvent the wheel!
Neil
Feifei, you're amazing – 'to reinvent the wheel' – that's a great English phrase. I'll use that in my script.
Feifei
Reinvent the wheel 这个表达的意思就是“无谓地重复，浪费时间做无用功”。 So I'm saying, don't waste time writing a script that has already been written – all your ideas have been written before!
Neil
Really?
Feifei
I'll show you – but first let's hear some more examples of this phrase.
Examples
Don't reinvent the wheel: we already have a plan that seems to work well.
He spent days working out the new course syllabus when we had planned it already – he's just reinvented the wheel!
Nancy's new idea is just the same as the old one – she's just reinvented the wheel!
Feifei
英语表达 reinvent the wheel 用来强调一个人重复地做一件别人已经做过的事情，浪费时间和精力。Now let me show you that old script…
Neil
Oh yeah. Thanks. Let's see. Arrives late… drinks coffee… I tell a joke… you're right Feifei, this is almost the same script. I'll just copy the ideas for today's script.
Feifei
Actually, maybe you shouldn't reinvent the wheel - and start writing something new and original.
Neil
Sorry, we're out of time, Feifei. I just need to say something funny and we can go… I've had a 'wheely' good time!
Feifei
That wasn't funny.
Both
Bye!
