Rob 因?yàn)楣?jié)目稿子沒寫完，非常緊張而且表現(xiàn)得有點(diǎn)兒過于激動。不過菲菲用了一個(gè)有 “mountain 山”和“mole 鼴鼠”的表達(dá)給 Rob 講道理，這個(gè)表達(dá)是什么？Rob 的稿子沒寫完怎么辦？聽節(jié)目，學(xué)習(xí)一個(gè)表示“小題大做”的短語。
（關(guān)于臺詞的備注: 請注意這不是廣播節(jié)目的逐字稿件。本文稿可能沒有體現(xiàn)錄制、編輯過程中對節(jié)目做出的改變。）
Feifei
大家好，歡迎收聽 BBC 英語教學(xué)的《地道英語》節(jié)目。我是馮菲菲，還有我的搭檔 Rob。Are you OK Rob?
Rob
No, I'm not. I haven't finished writing the script for this programme – I still don't know how it's going to end.
Feifei
Rob 為了寫這個(gè)節(jié)目的稿子，急得團(tuán)團(tuán)轉(zhuǎn)，不至于吧！Rob, it's not important.
Rob
What?! A script is not important – how am I going to make this programme word-perfect, without any mistakes? What will the audience think of me?
Feifei
At the moment, they probably think you are a little crazy – 你這樣的反應(yīng)有點(diǎn)兒過火吧，you're overreacting Rob – you're making a mountain out of a molehill.
Rob
Making a mountain out of a molehill! I won't be making any mountains, I haven't got time.
Feifei
No, Rob – it's just a saying! Make a mountain out of a molehill 是一個(gè)固定表達(dá)，意思就是“小題大做，反應(yīng)過激”。So, calm down Rob, it's not a big issue not having a script, is it?
Rob
[silence]
Feifei
Rob?
Rob
Er, I don't know what to say. It's not on the script.
Feifei
Oh dear – we'd better hear some other examples of this phrase.
Examples
I only asked him to do the shopping and now he's going on about how he has no time to go to the pub – he's making a mountain out of a molehill.
It's only a 2000 word essay; stop making a mountain out of a molehill!
Feifei
我們多用這個(gè)表達(dá)來形容某人把一件小事故意擴(kuò)大，使其看起來比實(shí)際的糟糕。And Rob, not finishing a script for this programme is a small problem.
Rob
If you say so, Feifei.
Feifei
Just do what we always do – 臨場發(fā)揮。Make it up!
Rob
OK, I'll try. Hold on, what's that?
Look! A real mole has buried into the studio – so now we have a real molehill to make a mountain out of.
Feifei
You would never have written that in a script Rob!
Rob.
True. Bye!
Feifei
Bye!
