Touchy-feely

Listen

In this week's The English We Speak programme, William is sad about his cat and Li encourages him to get in touch with his feelings.

William misses his cat Tigger.

The script for this programme

Li: Hello and welcome to The English We Speak. I'm Yang Li.

William: (subdued) I'm William Kremer.

Li: So, what English are we speaking today, William?

William: (sigh) I don't know.

Li: Oh what a big sigh! What's wrong?

William: Oh, it doesn't matter.

Li: Oh, come on! I can see something's not right. What's wrong?

William: (sigh) It's... well, if you must know, it's Tigger... he's died.

Li: Tigger? Who's Tigger?

William: Tigger... Tigger is... Tigger was my beautiful cat. He was my best friend. I suppose you could say that. I'm going to miss his stripey face in the morning. And his purr, yeah, I'm going to miss that. But, you know, these things happen. I shouldn't get so upset...

Li: Why not? I think it's normal to be very sad when a pet dies.

William: No, no, it's silly! I'm getting upset over an animal! I'm not a baby! I should grow up.

Li: But you might find it helpful to talk about your feelings for Tigger.

William: No, no, no, no! I hate all of that touchy-feely stuff!

Li: Touchy-feely?

William: Yeah, if something is touchy-feely it's very emotional. If you are a touchy-feely person you don't mind talking about your feelings and maybe actually hugging people.

Li: I see. So is this a negative phrase, touchy-feely?

William: Yeah, a little bit. Let's hear a couple of examples of it in use:

• Man: Do you know, I never once saw my mum and dad kiss or hug.
• Man 2: Really? Gosh, that seems incredible.
• Man: But I think they really loved each other. They just weren't all touchy-feely about it.

• Woman: Did you go to that drama group?
• Woman 2: Yeah. I don't think I'll go again.
• Woman: Oh? Why not?
• Woman 2: Well, the acting was fine. But it's all that touchy-feely stuff they do that I don't like.

Li: Look, you English people! You just can't talk about your feelings, can you?

William: Well, you might be right Li – we're not famous for talking about our feelings. Now, before we finish, I have heard this phrase touchy-feely being used in a very different way too. Listen to this:

• Woman: I love your sweater!
• Man: Thanks.
• Woman: It's so soft! I love this material. It's so touchy-feely!
• Man: OK. Shall I take it off and then you can touch it properly?!

Li: So in that example, 'touchy-feely' was being used to describe a kind of material.

William: Yes. If something is touchy-feely it is very soft. You want to stroke it, just like Tigger. I'm going to miss stroking Tigger.

William: The way he used to purr... And sometimes he would bring me a little present, you know. A dead mouse or maybe a little bird. So thoughtful.

Li: Hmm. It's OK to cry you know, William...

William: (recovering himself) No! No it's not. No touchy-feely stuff!

Li: Oh I give up. Goodbye everyone.

William: Bye!

Chapter 6: Planning for the future
Interview with Prince William and Kate Middleton
William:    Her and her family, I really want to make sure that they have the best,
sort of, guidance and chance to see what life's been like, or what life is like
in the family. And that's kind of almost why I have been waiting this long,
is that I wanted to give her a chance to see, and to back out if she needed
to, before it all got too much. Because, you know, I'm trying to learn from
lessons done in the past, and I just wanted to give her the best chance to
settle in and to see what happens the other side.
Kate:    And I'm also glad that I've had the time to sort of, to grow and understand
myself more as well, so…
William:    Does that mean I've done well?
Kate:   Hopefully good... Yes!
William:    We're hugely excited, and it's… you know, we're looking forward to
spending the rest of our times, the rest of our lives together and seeing
what the future holds.  
Kate:    I don't know the ropes, really. William, quite obviously, is used to it, but
no, I'm willing to learn quickly and work hard, and I'm…
William:    She'll do really well.
Kate:   Yeah.
William:    You'll do very well.
Kate:   Yes. Well, I really hope I can make a difference, you know, even in the
smallest way. I'm looking forward to helping as much as I can.


Interview with David and Jennifer
Yang Li:    How do you envisage your future as a wife to a husband, or husband to a
wife?
David:   I think, [we're] definitely looking forward to taking that next step in our
relationship. I think for, for both of us I think, hopefully children will play a
part in that.
Jennifer: Really?
David:  (laughs) So hopefully, children will play a part in that. I think it's a big
statement of commitment for us to get married. But it takes more than
just getting married to keep a relationship going. And I think just continue
to, you know, enjoy each other and, you know, that's what I'm looking
forward to doing.
Jennifer:  It will bring a seriousness to, and a commitment, to one another I think,
and to our families and to our friends. It feels really important to me now.
I didn't think it would feel this important. We're talking about name
changes and things like that, which aren't as important, but still seem
quite symbolic. So I think we'll continue as we are, but I think we
understand that we'll now need to know that you have to work at things so
that we stay together for the rest of our lives.
Yang Li: Are you Jenny, going to change your name to Mrs Langrish?
Jennifer:  Yes I think so. I decided that the other day, actually.
David: She's been practising her signatures.
Jennifer:  I haven't really!

Britain’s [브 은ㅈ]. Britain은 영국식 영어에서는 [t]를 그대로 살려 [브뤼튼]으로 발음하는 경우가 많은데, 여기서는 앵커가 ‘t+(모음)+n’ 에서 [t]를 파열하지 않고 [은] 정도로 비음화하여 [브 은]으로 발음하고 있다. Royal Family [로(이)얼 푸ㅔ밀리]. Royal은 [로열]처럼 들리는것 같지만 자세히 들어보면 [로이얼]로 발음되고 있다. 또한 loyal과 발음이 거의 유사해 자주 혼동되니 [r]과 [l]의 차이를 잘 알아두자. has announced that [해ㅈ 어나운스뎃]. announced that이 [어나운스뎃]으로 발음되고 있다. 과거형 접미사 -ed의 [d]는 연이어 나오는 that의 th- 발음과 조음위치가 동일해 생략되었다.
