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，我们今天收集了不少名人明星的花边新闻。
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: 看来你要加入brad pitt 成千上万的粉丝队伍了。
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 就是喜欢上了谁。
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，让我们听听别的英国人都喜欢哪几个名人明星。

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: 为什么有的人会说他们对某人有 a little 或者 a huge crush 呢？喜欢上哪个人有这么多不同的程度吗？
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 就是一个人生的“时期”或者“阶段”。那 tracy 你自己像这样的时期又经过了多少个呢？
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.
