Wang Fei: 大家好，欢迎收听《地道英语》节目。我是王飞。
Rob: Hello, I'm Rob.
Wang Fei: Did you enjoy the party at the weekend?
周末的party你喜欢吗？
Rob: Of course and it was good of William to buy all that food and drink – he's a good egg!
当然，好心的William卖了所有要吃的食物和饮料，他是个a good egg!
Wang Fei: A good egg?
Rob: Yes, he's someone who is good to other people and he's generous too!
是的，他对别人很好，也很慷慨。
Wang Fei: 我明白了。当我们说某人是一个 good egg, 也就是说他是一个好人。他们通常对别人好，也很慷慨大方。So you're telling me William is a generous person because he put on a good party?
Rob: Well, not just that. He's reliable as well. He always does what he says he will do, like helping me with the decorating.
不仅如此。他也很值得信赖。他总是言行一致，比如帮助我装饰。
Wang Fei: 我明白了，good egg 不光是说一个人慷慨大方 generous, 并且值得信赖 reliable. So a good egg is really a nice person to know then?
Rob: Yes, a good egg is an all round good guy.
Wang Fei: 就是大好人，好人一个！Are we really talking about William?!
Rob: Yes.
