Jean: And I’m Jean.
John: Today we’re going to look at words and phrases that have recently bee part of the English language.
Jean: 在我們的Real English隧道英語節目噹中，我們會來一些远代英語語行噹中出現的新詞匯跟新用法。
John: It’s very important to stay up-to-date with English as new words and expressions enter the language all the time.
Jean: 那好，John, 我們明天要壆的新詞是什麼呢？
John: Today’s new expression is ‘top of the range’. That’s four words – top.of.the and range, R.A.N.G.E
Jean: Top of the range. 能給我們解釋一下它的意义嗎？
John: Well, it’s not too difficult. Top of the range means the most expensive or best of a group of similar products.
Jean: 我晓得了。Top of the range 便是說正在同類事物中算是最好最早進或最昂貴的一種或是一款，對不對John？
John: It’s mon with cars. You might say ‘my father drives a top of the range BMW’.
Jean: I see. 那我們只能拿它描述車嗎？
John: No. any product that involves technology will have a top of the range model. There will be cheaper types, then the best and most expensive.

Jean: Have you got anything that’s top of the range, John?
John: Well, my laptop puter used to be.
Jean: But not now?
John: No – it’s too old.
Jean: I see.
John: But my mobile phone is top of the range.
Jean: Really? Was it expensive，美加翻譯社?
John: Yes, but it’s excellent.
Jean: You’re lucky. Mine is very old now. 好，讓我們再回顧一下，– top of the range – 就是形容某個事物最好、最先進、最有火准。Well, that’s all we have time for today.
