Li: Oh, 今天天氣這么好，戶外野餐，沒(méi)治了！Finn. Thank you for inviting me.

Finn: Yes, Li. I thought we could enjoy this rare sunny day in London and I wanted you to try some of my new recipes.

Li: 品嘗你的新菜譜總是令我很開(kāi)心啊，你可謂是一個(gè)真正的英國(guó)名廚，一流的。Finn 你知道嗎，我從未想到我竟然會(huì)喜歡吃你的橄欖白巧克力沙拉!

Finn: And what about the beetroot loaf?

Li: 對(duì)了，還有你的紫菜頭面包，很不尋常不過(guò)味道還不錯(cuò)，我很可能再要一塊!

Finn: OK. But now it's time for my best creation: my special ice cream. Here it is, Li. This is the bee's knees!

Li: 你的冰淇淋是 the bee's knees?! 蜜蜂的膝蓋?!

Finn: Yes! Here is the bowl and the spoon. Tuck in!

Li: 不要不要，我不想吃，你怎么這么殘忍，可憐的蜜蜂，膝蓋都沒(méi)了，怎么產(chǎn)蜜呢？Finn, 別忘了，每個(gè)人都喜歡吃蜂蜜！

Finn: Oh, Li, no, no, no, no. No bees were harmed in the making of this dish.

Li: 真的？你真的沒(méi)有傷害那些無(wú)辜的蜜蜂？在提取蜜蜂膝蓋的時(shí)候你用沒(méi)用麻藥？

Finn: 'The bee's knees' is an expression we use in English to say that something or someone is exceptionally good.

Li: Ahhh I see...

Finn: That's it!

Li: 'The bee's knees' 原來(lái)這是一個(gè)成語(yǔ)，意思是什么東西或什么人非常出色.

Finn: Let's hear some examples.

I used to play in a band when I was younger. We had a few fans and we thought we were the bee's knees. Yesterday I listened to one of our tapes and we sounded horrible!

This is the best laptop I've ever bought. It is very light and has the best features. It is really the bee's knees!

Finn: You see, there are no knees and no bees in this ice cream - only a great taste! It's the bee's knees because it's exceptionally good. Really, really good and it's made of cinnamon! What do you think, Li?

Li: 你真有創(chuàng)造性。肉桂冰淇淋，從來(lái)沒(méi)有聽(tīng)說(shuō)過(guò)。不過(guò)，F(xiàn)inn 你看，你看，公園里的蜜蜂怎么都飛過(guò)來(lái)了，知道你不會(huì)傷害它們，這些聰明的小家伙都蜂擁而上，要來(lái)品嘗你的美味冰淇淋，我們要不要換個(gè)地方?

Finn: Yes! Come on. That's a very good idea, Li. Let's get out of here! Bye.

Li: Bye.
