前情提要

尼爾買彩票中獎了-但是菲菲不清楚他到底中了多少錢。不過中獎的錢至少可以讓尼爾付清一些債務。因此，菲菲用一個短語來表表示尼爾目前的財務狀況。現在，我們來看看吧！

Feifei
Hello and welcome to The English We Speak with me, Feifei…

Neil
…and me, Neil.

Feifei
Neil, you’re looking very pleased with yourself. （尼爾，你看上去心情很不錯啊。）

Neil
Well, I wasn’t going to say anything, but I won some money on the lottery.

Feifei
So, are you a millionaire now?

Neil
No – I didn’t win a large amount of money,  but enough to pay off my bills, buy some new clothes. And finally I can  afford to get my old car fixed.

Feifei
Great. Congratulations. So now you are sitting pretty?

Neil
Pretty? What have my good looks got to do with it?

Feifei
I’m not talking about your looks – it’s  about your finances. When we say someone is ‘sitting pretty’, we mean  they are in a good situation, particularly financially. So, I’m saying  you’re in a comfortable position, as far as money goes. （我并不是說你的長相，而是說你的財務狀況。當我們說某人‘sitting pretty’，我們指的是他們的狀況，特別是財務狀況很不錯。所以，我說的是你目前的財務狀況很可觀。）

Neil
You could say that.（你說的沒錯）

Feifei
Well, let’s hear some examples of other people who are ‘sitting pretty’…

Examples（更多舉例）
After selling our house for a huge profit, we’re now sitting pretty.

The rent on this flat is really cheap, so we’re sitting pretty.

With more wins than any other team, we’re sitting pretty at the top of the league table!

Feifei
This is The English We Speak from BBC  Learning English. We’re talking about the phrase ‘sitting pretty’ which  describes someone’s favourable situation – it’s often financial. And  Neil, you’re sitting pretty after your lottery win. Maybe you could pay  me back the ten pounds I lent you?（這里是BBC英語教學的地道英語節目。我們現在說談論的短語‘sitting pretty’指的是某人的處境非常好-這里通常是指經濟寬裕，不愁吃喝）

Neil
Of course, Feifei… there you go – ten pounds. I might even buy you a cappuccino if you’d like one – a small one?

Feifei
Err, yes, Neil - that would be great. Thanks!

…. Is everything OK?

Neil
No. I’ve just got the bill for repairing my car - ￡1000!

Feifei
Oh… well, you did say it was an old car. Never mind, Neil – you win some, you lose some. Shall I buy the coffee?

Neil
Yes, please… and I can have that ten pounds back, please?

Feifei
Oh dear, Neil – sitting pretty didn’t last long. Better luck next time.

Neil
Thanks!
