内容简介

网络感很强的俗语 “-coded” 可以被用在一个事物或人名的后面来组成一个复合形容词，意思就是 “有……的范”。“Coded” 原本是一个形容词，意思是 “编码的，加密的”，但现在它可以被加在词尾来形容 “一个事物或人的外观或气质让人想起了另一个事物或人”。听节目，跟主持人菲菲和 Georgie 学习这个俗语的用法。

Hello and welcome to Authentic Real English, where we explain expressions used by fluent English speakers so that you can use them, too! I'm Feifei, and I'm joined by Georgie.

Georgie
Hello everyone.

Feifei
So, Georgie. What are we learning in this programme?

Georgie
We are learning an interesting use of the word 'coded' because it's something my friend has started using a lot and it's become quite popular on the internet.

Feifei
OK, well why don't you tell us about a typical way your friend might use 'coded'?

Georgie
Sure. So, this friend in particular loves sending me internet videos and memes. So imagine she sends me a video where she thinks the person in it is similar to me. She might say something like, "This is so you-coded", and that just means the person in the video matches my traits in some way – they're similar to me.

Feifei
Ah, OK. So the person in the video might be a little clumsy, forgetful, and a little bit silly?

Georgie
Feifei! Well, yes, fine. Now, it's not always about a person being similar. It could be a thing with a similar vibe or aesthetic. Do you have any examples of this, Feifei?

Feifei
Well, you know I love bright, intense colours, and I saw some paintings the other day in a shop and I thought, "Wow, those are so me-coded" – they were very me. Let's listen to some more examples.

Examples
I was watching this film yesterday and this character – I mean, he's a total mess, but he's so me-coded. I mean, he's just like me.

You ate chips and beans for dinner? That is so student-coded.

Have you met the new colleague yet? He's so George-coded. He likes board games and he wears glasses, just like George.

Feifei
你正在收听的是 BBC 英语教学的 “地道英语” 节目。刚刚我们一起学习了俗语 “-coded” 的用法。形容词 “coded” 原本的意思是 “编码的，加密的”，但在现代英语中，人们常在口语和网络交流中把它接在一个名词的后面，组成一个复合形容词。如果某个事物或人让你想起了另外一件事情或一个人，那么这个时候你就可以用这件事的名称或人名加上 “-coded” 来描述它。

Georgie
So, basically, if you see something that reminds you of a person or thing because it shares the same traits or aesthetic, you can express that in a snappy way by saying the word or name and adding '-coded'.

Feifei
Yes. And a similar way of expressing the same thing is 'it gives off the vibe of', for example, the person in that video gave very Georgie vibes. 还有一个和 “……-coded” 意思相近的表达是 “it gives off the vibes of something”，意思就是 “一个事物传递了……的感觉或氛围，有……的味道”。

Georgie
Yes. So you can say 'Those paintings give off Feifei vibes.'

Feifei
Thanks for joining us.

Georgie
Goodbye!

Feifei
Bye-bye.
