Li: 大家好，我是 Yang Li.
Tracy: I think I should tell everyone that Li and I have just been reading some celebrity magazines.
Li: 是的，我們今天收集了不少名人明星的花邊新聞。
Tracy: We’ve been reading about the lives and loves of our favourite celebrities.
Li: I discovered that Brad Pitt is Tracy’s favourite celebrity.
Tracy: I might have a little crush on him.
Li: 看來你要加入Brad Pitt 成千上萬的粉絲隊伍了。
Tracy: Yes. Li, did you notice the phrase I used when I was talking about Brad?
Li: You said that you might have a little crush on him. Looks like Tracy's not the only one who has a crush on Brad...
Tracy: Exactly, I said I have a crush on Brad Pitt, but just a little one.
Li: So if you say you have a crush on someone, does that just mean that you like them?
Tracy: It means a little bit more than that. It means you think they are good looking or hot or cute. It means that you fancy them.
Li: To fancy someone 就是喜歡上了誰。
Tracy: And usually when you have a crush on someone, that person doesn’t know how you feel. It’s a secret.
Li: A secret crush.
Tracy: Yes.
Li: Is there anyone else you have a secret crush on?
Tracy: I’m not telling you.
Li: 好，讓我們聽聽別的英國人都喜歡哪幾個名人明星。

Example
I’ve always had a huge crush on Shu Qi, I think she is gorgeous. I don’t usually tell people about this. It’s a bit embarrassing. I’ve got a secret crush on the office cleaner.

Li: 為什么有的人會說他們對某人有 a little 或者 a huge crush 呢？喜歡上哪個人有這么多不同的程度嗎？
Tracy: Yes, a huge or serious crush can cause very powerful feelings. You might long for a person.
Li: To long for a person 就是非常的渴望某人。
Tracy: But most crushes are not that serious. Sometimes it’s just a phase that someone goes through.
Li: A phase 就是一個人生的“時期”或者“階段”。那 Tracy 你自己像這樣的時期又經(jīng)過了多少個呢？
Tracy: I’m not telling.
Li: So is your crush on Brad Pitt just a phase?
Tracy: Yes, but I guess I’ve always thought he was quite good looking. I think lots of other people are cute too. I guess I have a little crush on quite a few celebrities.
Li: Well I have an idea. Let’s end today’s programme here and you can tell me about all of the other celebrities that you have a crush on.
Tracy: That could take a while.
Li: Thanks for listening to Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English.
