Youve Changed Your Tune

　　轉(zhuǎn)變態(tài)度

　　Li: 大家好我是楊莉，歡迎收聽(tīng)地道英語(yǔ)。

　　William: (mouth full) Im William mmf, mmf. Hello.

　　Li: 我說(shuō)，老搭檔，你難道你忘了嘴里嚼著東西不能說(shuō)話嗎?尤其是我們現(xiàn)在正在主持 BBC 的音頻節(jié)目!

　　William: (smacking lips) Well, Ive really been enjoying this super jumbo hamburger. Wow, that was good. I just cant seem to get enough of super jumbo hamburgers recently.

　　Li: Oh? What is it about super jumbo hamburgers that you like so much?

　　William: Well thats a good question Li. I think it might be the delicious 100% beef burger and how the flavours merge with the sauce, which is made to a carefully-guarded recipe. But then again I like the lovely gherkins and the crisp crunchy lettuce. But also lets not forget the layers of soft yellow cheese. Maybe its all of those things. Hmmm. I think I could have another, actually.

　　Li: Well, Will, all I can say is: you have changed your tune.

　　William: Hmm? Thats an interesting phrase, Li. Shall we make it our phrase of the day?

　　Li: 好啊。

　　如果一個(gè)人 change your tune, 那就是改變了你的態(tài)度了。帶有批評(píng)的成分但是有點(diǎn)半開(kāi)玩笑的意思。

　　William: Yeah... lets hear another example:

　　Girl 1: What do you think about Mark? Dont you think hes really good-looking?

　　Girl 2: Mark? I thought you hated him?

　　Girl 1: That was last week. This week, I feel very different...

　　Girl 2: Wow, youve certainly changed your tune!

　　Li: Hmmm. I have to say I dont think that I change my tune very often.

　　William: Well Im sure that thats true but we dont generally use the phrase to talk about ourselves. We tend to always say: Youve changed your tune or Youve certainly changed your tune. We often say it like this: Youve changed your tune!

　　Li: OK. So, you have certainly changed your tune, William, about super jumbo hamburgers.

　　William: No... Ive always loved super jumbo hamburgers!

　　Li: 不對(duì)，不對(duì)。你把自己的話都給忘了。對(duì)呀我記下來(lái)了，兩個(gè)星期前你跟我說(shuō)過(guò)這個(gè)， 你看，我念給你聽(tīng)：I hate super jumbo hamburgers. The meat is like low-grade frozen cardboard, the cheese is like plastic and the tomatoes are like rubber. They make me feel sick and probably shorten my life. After I eat one I just want to curl up in bed. 想起來(lái)了吧，這些話難道不是你說(shuō)的嗎?

　　William: Oh, right. Well, I guess they must have grown on me!

　　Li: What a change of tune from William the burger hater to William the burger lover!
