Jean: And I’m Jean. Hello. Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary. Jean: 英语是一种十分程式化的语言,所以了解现实生活中人们经常使用的固定表达和俚语自然就很有用了。 Neil: Today’s phrase is snail mail. Jean: Snail mail, 蜗牛邮件。What is this Neil, a special postal service for snails? Sounds amazing! Neil: No Jean, it’s nothing like that but it is slower than email. Jean: OK 原来这个所谓的“蜗牛邮件”snail mail, 故名思意,就是比电子邮件 email 要慢上许多的邮寄邮件。Is snail mail just the ordinary way of sending a letter? Neil: That’s exactly right. Listen to this. Example A: You know there’s something seriously wrong with my email account at the moment, and you know what that means don’t you?
