Finn: Welcome to Authentic Real English, I'm Finn.
Wang Fei: And I'm Wang Fei. So, what English word do we have to learn today?
Finn: Today's English word is a Scottish one!
Wang Fei: 我们要在《地道英语》节目中学苏格兰英语？ Finn, I know you're from Scotland, but this is Authentic Real English, not Scottish!
Finn: Not Scottish - I know, but this is a word which is very widely used.
不是英格兰语——我知道，这是个用得非常广泛的词。
Wang Fei: Mm, Ok. What's the word, then?
Finn: Today's word is "wee".
Wang Fei: Wii? 是不是日本的那种视频电子游戏机。 Surely that's Authentic Real Japanese?!
Finn: Authentic Real Japanese?! No, not Wii! That's spelled W-I-I, Nintendo Wii 任天堂那个 Wii. Not that one. The word I mean is spelled W-E-E, and it’s also pronounced wee, and it means small or little.
Wang Fei: 哦，这个词比较好记。Nice and easy to remember! W-E-E.
Finn: Wee. Quite often you'll hear it together with the word 'bit'. A wee bit. Listen to these examples.
你会经常听到wee和bit放在一起用。

Examples
I might be a wee bit late, please just wait for me.
我可能得稍微玩一会儿，请等我下。
You're looking a wee bit tired, are you ok?
你今天看上去有点雷，不是吗？
I'm a wee bit hungry, fancy getting a sandwich?
我有点饿了，能帮我那块三明治吗？
Wang Fei: 我明白了， a wee bit 意思就是 a little bit, 一点点儿的意思。 How else can we use this word, Finn?
Finn: Well, a wee bit is probably what you'll hear most often, but what do you think the word wee means here?
