the best thing since sliced bread
有史以来最好的事情
原文对白
You’re listening to British Council’s English Online and I’m Sabrina. Today on Language Snacks we take a look at the expression the best thing since sliced bread.
Let’s listen to the dialogue.
A: Is that a new mobile phone?
B: Yeah, it’s got a built in camera and mp3 player and I can even browse the web and check my email – it’s the best thing since sliced bread.
A: Wow, I’ve got to get one.
The best thing since sliced bread is a commonly used way of praising an invention or a gadget. I guess when sliced bread was invented in 1928 it was something which made people’s lives a lot easier. However it still seems like a strange choice by which we judge all later inventions, - but that’s what makes English so interesting I suppose.
I wonder what we’d say in Chinese, errm maybe the best thing since instant noodles!
And that’s it for now – join us again for some more Language Snacks. You’ve been listening to English Online – the podcast for English learners in China.
