大家好，欢迎收听 BBC 英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。在每期节目中，我们都会介绍一个英语母语人士或讲英语流利的人常用的表达。I'm Feifei and I'm joined by Georgie. How are you doing?

Georgie
Well, Feifei, I'm actually really busy today, I've got lots of things to do. So, after we record this, I'd better skedaddle and get to work.

Feifei
Oh, poor you! Well, 'skedaddle' is the word we're looking at in this programme. It's an informal English verb which means to leave somewhere quickly, often with a sense of urgency and in quite a chaotic manner.

Georgie
Yes. You could skedaddle because you're in a rush to get somewhere, or you skedaddle because you're scared of something. Humans skedaddle, but we can also use it to describe animals leaving quickly. Time for some examples.

Examples
We've got mice in our loft, but every time I go up there, they just skedaddle – we can't catch them.

Come on, guys. We need to stop wasting time and skedaddle, otherwise we're going to miss the flight!

So funny – George is terrified of spiders. Whenever he sees one, he skedaddles – he's off!

Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC 英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。以上我们一起学习了俗语 “skedaddle” 的用法。“Skedaddle” 作动词的时候的意思是 “有些着急甚至手忙脚乱地迅速离开一个地方”。

So, Georgie, earlier you used 'skedaddle' to talk about your own actions – you said, "I'd better skedaddle". How else is 'skedaddle' used?

Georgie
Well, we can also describe the actions of others. For example, last night, my sister skedaddled as soon as we'd finished dinner. She didn't even stay to help clear up!

Feifei
我们还可以用 “skedaddle” 来 “请求某人离开” 或 “驱赶小动物，比如小猫小狗”，但这个用法有些过时。我们来举一个例子。如果 Georgie 的妹妹还在她居家办公的时候不停地缠着她聊天，这时候 Georgie 可能就会对她妹妹说 “Go on, skedaddle! I've got to work.”

Georgie
OK. Let's recap. We've learnt 'skedaddle', which means to leave somewhere quickly or in a hurry.

Feifei
Do come back next week for another episode. Thanks for joining us.

Georgie
Bye!

Feifei
Bye!
