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 on this really cold day, I'm with Phil. But how come you're not cold, Phil?
Phil
Ah well, I've just had lunch. Hot soup – hot potato and leek soup. It's perfect for a winter's day. It's my go-to for a cold day.
Feifei
Your go-to? That sounds like it could be the expression of this programme.
Phil
Why not? A 'go-to' is something that you, well, go to a lot, or in a particular situation.
Feifei
A 'go-to' is a preferred option – so if I said Phil was my go-to for soup, he'd be my preferred option when I need someone to make me soup.
Phil
And you can have a go-to for anything – a nice cafe might be your go-to for lunch; a quiet spot might be your go-to to relax. You might even have an outfit that's your go-to for parties.
Feifei
Let's hear some more examples of people using 'go-to'.
Examples
When I'm trying to get warm in the winter, my hot water bottle is my go-to.
There's a small butcher near my home which is my go-to for fresh lamb chops.
I'm so annoyed because my programme that's my go-to for relaxing in the evening has been cancelled, and now I don't know what I'm going to do.

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表达 “go-to” 的用法。“Go-to” 可以作名词,意思就是 “想要完成某件事时的首选方式”,它既可以是 “一种做法”,还可以是 “一个工具、一个地点” 等等。
Phil
We could also go-to as a compound adjective. We already know that I'm your go-to guy for soup.
Feifei
Yes, you are. “Go-to” 还可以作复合形容词用,意思就是 “想要完成某事时首选的…”。就比如说,Phil 不但是我想喝汤时的首选大厨,还是我在学英语表达时的首选专家——“Phil is also my go-to expert for English expressions.”
Phil
We can talk about go-to options, go-to holiday spots, a go-to resource to find answers to things.
Feifei
And, if you're looking for a go-to website to learn English from, look no further than BBC Learning English! We'll be back next time with another expression.
Phil
See you then. Bye!
Feifei
Bye-bye!
