Jean: And I’m Jean.
Jo: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that you might not find in your English text book.
Jean: 英式英語十分主要的一局部就是要他們平常应用的英語口語，并且這些英語的浅显說法並不是經常能在書本上壆到的。那Jo，我們明天要壆的英語口語詞是什麼呢？
Jo: Today’s word is ‘butty’ – B.U.T.T.Y – butty.
Jean: Butty. Butty是什麼意思呢？
Jo: Well, butty is an informal word meaning sandwich.
Jean: 我晓得了，butty便是三明治的意义，是三明治正在英國的一種艰深叫法。
Jo: Yes. You could say ‘I had a cheese butty for lunch.’
Jean: 就是說我午飯吃了一個奶酪三明治。
Jo: Absolutely.
Insert
A: Mum! I’m hungry!
B: Well, get yourself a butty or something.
A: What do you normally have for lunch in England?
B: I don’t have much time for lunch, so I usually just have a butty from the local shop.
Jo: Do you like butties?
Jean: 奇尒吃吃還好，要頓頓吃butty我可受不了。您呢Jo？
Jo: Well, I love a butty sometimes. Chicken butties are my favourite.
Jean: Mm, 雞肉三明治還是挺好吃的。
Jo: Some English people like chip butties. That’s a sandwich with fried potatoes inside.
Jean: 兩单方面包夾薯條？那也是三明治嗎?
Jo: Yes, I know it sounds horrible but chip butties are great! It’s also worth mentioning that butty is more monly used in the north of England than in the south. Anyway, let’s recap – butty – is an informal word for sandwich.
Jean: 對了，還须要特別說明的是Butty這個詞在英國的北部是最经常使用的。好了，讓我們再回顧一下吧，butty, 就是英國心語三明治的意思. Well, that’s all we have time for.
Jo: Yes, we have to go. You’ve been listening to Real English from BBC Learning English. Join us again soon for more up-to-the-minute Real English. Bye.
Jean: See you next time.
