Dan: Hello and welcome to another Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. I'm Dan. 大家好，欢迎收听新一期的地道英语节目。我是丹。

Feifei: 大家好，我是冯菲菲。

Dan: Feifei, I need a holiday. 菲菲，我需要休假。

Feifei: Ditto.

Dan: I'd love to go somewhere hot. 我想去热点儿的地方。

Feifei: Ditto.

Dan: But I can't get the time off work. 可我工作做之余又挤不出时间。

Feifei: Ditto.

Dan: Feifei, why do you keep saying ditto? 菲菲，你干嘛总说ditto啊？

Feifei: Because it's our Authentic Real English phrase this week. Ditto—it means me too or I agree. Ditto 这个词的意思是同意，或是同意某人的一个说法。

Dan: Oh, ditto. Ditto's a phrase you hear a lot in the UK. It's a good quick way of saying you agree with something. 在英国你会经常听到别人说"ditto"。用这个词表达赞同十分简洁。

Feifei: But when I said ditto earlier, I wasn't agreeing that you needed a holiday. I was saying that I need a holiday. 但是刚才我说ditto的时候，不是同意你应该休假，而是说我需要休假。

Dan: Yeah, ditto usually reflects the opinions or desires of the person saying it. Let's listen to an example. 是啊。ditto常用来表达说话人的意见或愿望。请看例句:

Example

A: I'll have the mushroom pizza please. 我点一份蘑菇比萨饼，谢谢。

B: Ditto; same for me. 我也是。

Dan: So the person saying ditto also wanted a mushroom pizza. 这么说ditto的那个人也想点比萨饼喽。

Feifei: Ditto 这个词不仅仅可以用来表示你同意某人的看法，我们来听下面这个例子。

Example

A: Too many sweets can be bad for your teeth. Ditto chocolate and sugary drinks. 吃糖太多对牙齿有害。巧克力和含糖饮料也如此。

Dan: In the last phrase ditto meant the same; too many sweets can be bad for your teeth. And so can too much chocolate, or too many sugary drinks. 上一句中ditto意思是“也一样”。这句话是说吃太多的糖对牙齿有害，吃太多巧克力或者喝太多含糖饮料也一样。

Dan: Right Feifei, I'm going to book a holiday. 是的，菲菲。我要申请去休假了。
