Helen
欢迎收听BBC英语教学制作的《地道英语》节目。大家好，我是 Helen。
Neil
Hello everyone. I'm Neil. It's great to be here today Helen.
Helen
You are very cheerful today.
Neil
I feel pretty good, I walked from the train station to the office and the walk seems to have energised me.
(phone rings)
Helen
That's my mobile. Hello, hello? Anyone there? Hello?
Neil
Oh dear Helen, it looks like you may be out of juice.
Helen
你说什么？I am not drinking any juice. 我可没喝果汁。不过我的手机好像没电了。
Neil
That's what I mean. Your phone isn't working because it's out of juice.
Helen
请你解释一下：这个果汁 juice 和我的手机有什么关系呢？
Neil
When you've used all the battery power of something like a mobile phone, so that it doesn't work anymore, we can say it's 'out of juice'. It's a slang expression.
Helen
我听明白了，out of juice 的意思就是“没电了”，不过大家要注意这是个口语表达。请听例句。
Examples
My laptop's out of juice. This is so frustrating.
I am packing three spare phone batteries so I don't run out of juice on my climbing trip.
Helen
Can we use it for anything else apart from batteries? 除了表示电池没电之外，这个短语还有其它用法吗？
Neil
Sure, sometimes if a person feels low on energy, they could say, 'I'm out of juice'. Also if your car is low on petrol, you could say, 'The car's running out of juice.'
Helen
当一个人觉得自己能量很低的时候、没劲儿或者汽车没油的时候也能用 out of juice 来形容。Thanks for explaining this phrase. Now I'm feeling quite thirsty - a glass of juice would be most welcome.
Neil
Let's get some then. Meanwhile, charge your phone, so it's got plenty of juice.
Helen
Will do.
Neil
See you next time.
Both
Bye!
