Feifei: I can see for miles...

Neil: I could just sit on this mountain
6
27160
2240
00:29
all day. Ahh...
7
29400
2940
00:33
What? I thought I had turned it off.

00:36
Oh, it's my dentist. Oh, man. Hello?
9
36800

OK. Yeah, yeah, that's fine. Bye.

Neil: No, I hate going to the dentist.
15

00:56
Sorry, I can't enjoy this view any more.
16
56477

00:58
I'm heading back.
17

What a buzzkill!
18

2240
01:02
Feifei: Neil! Neil, come back!
19
62740
2560
01:06
Well, he's off. Poor Neil was enjoying
20
66420
2960
01:09
the view up here so much, but the news
21
69380
2020
01:11
about his check-up completely ruined
22
71400
2535
01:13
his mood. We can call something like
23
73935
3395
01:17
that a 'buzzkill'. It kills your 'buzz',
24
77330
3430
01:20
in other words, your happy mood.
25

I'd better catch up with him.
26

My holiday was amazing, but
28
89000
2497
01:31
on the way back my plane was
29
91497
2106
01:33
delayed for over six hours. That
30
93603
2397
01:36
was a major buzzkill!
31
96000
2100
01:38
Jim was excited to move into his
32
98800
2258
01:41
new apartment. But it was a huge
33
101058
2073
01:43
buzzkill when he discovered
34
103131
1749
01:44
mice in the bedroom.
35
104880
2220
01:47
I scored three goals last week but then
36
107800
3500
01:51
got a really nasty injury in the last minute.
37
111300
3880
01:55
The doctor said I can't play
38
115180
1660
01:56
for two months now. Bit of a buzzkill!

Feifei: You're listening to The English

The expression we're looking at in this
42
126760
1580
02:08
programme is 'buzzkill'.
43
128340

02:14
Neil! Neil! Stop!
44
134160
3340
02:19
Neil: No, no, no, Feifei. It's not the same.
45
139200
3060
02:22
I'm just not in the mood any more.
46

Feifei: Last time I went to the dentist,
47
144160
2500
02:26
she said my teeth were fine.
48
146660
2100
02:28
You brush every day, don't you?
49
148760
1800
02:30
Neil: Yes.
50
150560
780
02:31
Feifei: And there's no pain?
51
151340
980
02:32
Neil: Not at the moment.
52
152320
880
02:33
Feifei: Well, it will probably be fine.
53
153200
2260
02:35
Hey, don't ruin my climb as well.
54
155900
2660
02:38
Let's go back up!
55
158560
1620
02:40
Neil: Oh, OK. Sorry, I don't mean to be
56
160180
2380
02:42
a buzzkill. You're right.
57
162560
1660
02:44
Feifei: And I've got some lovely, sweets
58
164220
2260
02:46
to enjoy. Here, they're sugar-free.
59
166480

Neil: Thanks. Oh, tasty. Bye.
