        Jean: 和汉语一样，英语里也是有着非常多的成语和俗话的，所以要想能听得懂英国人日常的说话聊天，就一定要来学学这些他们常用的通俗词语。
        Jo: And today’s expression is to do with food and a kind of food which is great for people who don’t like cooking. It’s ready meal…. ready meal
        Jean: OK, a ready meal – 就是已经做好了的饭菜，只要以加热就可以吃的即食餐。
        Jo: Yes, a ready meal is a meal which is completely prepared and cooked, and you just have to reheat it.
