Jiaying
大家好，歡迎收聽(tīng) BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目，我是佳瑩。

Neil
… and me, Neil. Are you OK? You look really stressed!

Jiaying
別提了，今天我去公園吃午飯，卻找不到我?guī)У膱?jiān)果了。就在這個(gè)時(shí)候，我把偷走我零食的小偷逮了個(gè)正著！

Neil
Was it Rob?

Jiaying
No, it wasn’t. I looked everywhere, and lo and behold, a squirrel had stolen them.

Neil
What? What did you say? Lower and below?

Jiaying
不是的，Neil！我說(shuō)的是 “l(fā)o and behold”，我們經(jīng)常用它來(lái)感嘆或者引出一件事情讓人出乎意料的部分，相當(dāng)于我們常說(shuō)的 “真想不到”。

Neil
Ah… that makes sense – like a strange coincidence – like the other day, I wanted some biscuits, but lo and behold, guess who’d eaten them all!

Jiaying
Rob! Let’s talk about some other surprising twists after these examples.

Examples
I was just thinking about my uncle when, lo and behold, he rang.

I’d completely forgotten to finish just one task, and lo and behold, it was the only one my boss asked for!

My wife was so angry the other day. Lo and behold, it was her birthday and I’d forgotten.

你正在收聽(tīng)的是 BBC英語(yǔ)教學(xué)的 “地道英語(yǔ)” 節(jié)目。以上，我們介紹了表達(dá) “l(fā)o and behold” 的意思和用法。在向他人講述一個(gè)故事或經(jīng)歷的時(shí)候，我們可以用 “l(fā)o and behold” 來(lái)引出出人意料的部分。

Neil
So, what happened after you saw the squirrel had stolen your nuts in the park?

Jiaying
Well, I said to the squirrel – ‘Hey you, give me back my nuts’, and lo and behold, the squirrel returned my food!

Neil
That’s amazing! That squirrel must have felt really guilty!

Jiaying
Yes, he apologised. He didn’t mean to steal my nuts, but he needed them. Lo and behold, he has a young family. So, I gave him the nuts. Guess what happened next?

Neil
Hmm…the squirrel asked if you’d like to join him for dinner?

Jiaying
Don’t be ridiculous, Neil! He ran off!

Neil
Oh, OK. That’s not as surprising as I imagined!

Jiaying
Bye, Neil.

Neil
Bye.
