Feifei: Hello and welcome to Authentic¹ Real English, I'm Feifei.

Rob: Hello everyone, I'm Rob.

Feifei: Rob, 猜猜我刚才在电梯里看见了谁？

Rob: (Not interested) Hmmm, lots of other people who work at the BBC?

Feifei: 哎呀，不是的。You’ll never guess...

Rob: (Still not interested) Probably not.

Feifei: 太激动了，我的心到现在还砰砰的跳个不停呢!

Rob: Come on Feifei, it's not like you have just been in a lift with Damien Lewis. So just calm down, we've got some work to do.

Feifei: (Even more excited) It was, it was Damien Lewis! 我还真是在电梯里碰见了 Damien Lewis.

Rob: (Now interested) Really? What was he like?

Feifei: He was wearing a light blue shirt and jeans! Very tall, and... he's just so handsome!

Rob: I bet! Did you say anything to him?

Feifei: No, 我太紧张了！不过我听见他说什么去录节目之前 going for some 'nosh'. 我不太懂是什么意思 what does that mean? What is 'nosh'?

Rob: In British English, 'to have some nosh' is a slang² phrase which means to have some food or to have a meal. The word 'nosh' literally³ means 'food or a meal'.

Feifei: OK, I see. 原来他是说在录节目之前先去吃点儿饭。Nosh 这个词是个英语俚语表达，意思是食物或一顿饭。

Rob: Let's hear some examples on how to use the word 'nosh'.

Our canteen serves good nosh.

She likes her nosh.

Do you fancy a bit of nosh?

There was a lot of nosh at the party last night.

Feifei: 在上面例句中 nosh 是作为名词使用的，这个词还可以当动词使用。Right, Rob?

Rob: Yes, that's right. If you 'nosh', you eat.

I like to nosh when I watch TV.

How can she ever lose weight? She noshes all the time!

Feifei: (Getting excited again) Hey Rob, 我突然特饿，do you mind finishing the programme? I’m just going to get some nosh from the canteen.

Rob: Is that so Feifei? I know why you are getting hungry...

Feifei: What do you mean? I'm just hungry. Will be back later, bye...

Rob: Errr, hold on... wait, wait for me, I might join you for some nosh too… (talking to himself) I hope Damien is still in the canteen. Bye!
