Neil:Hello, I'm Neil.
Feifei:大家好,我是冯菲菲。欢迎收听BBC英语教学的《地道英语》节目。
Neil:Do you know someone asked me for an autograph the other day?
Feifei:要你的签名?
Neil:Yes, they thought I was someone famous – which of course, I'm not.
Feifei:Well you are sort of famous – being a presenter of Authentic Real English.
Neil:Oh yeah! Maybe I am. People want to take a selfie with me, buying me presents, me at the Oscars winning awards, fans everywhere, cameras flashing…
Feifei:Neil, Neil wake up. 你是在做白日梦吧?Don't get carried away. You know if you were famous, you'd get lots of public attention – it comes with the territory.
Neil:You're right Feifei – the paparazzi would be following me everywhere – I wouldn't like that – but you used a good phrase there – 'it comes with the territory'.
Feifei:Yes. 在英语里,我们可以用“come with the territory”或“go with the territory”来表示“某事是难免的,属于必然的结果”。
Neil:Let's hear some examples.
Examples
The job involves a lot of travelling, but I guess that comes with the territory.
If you're gonna play rugby, you're gonna get hurt – injuries go with the territory!
Feifei:如果一件事情的发生是由一个特定的情况所引起的,那么我们就可以说“it comes with the territory”或“it goes with the territory”。Let's face it Neil, perhaps it's a good thing that we're not famous.
Neil:I guess not. I'll just carry on teaching English and making tea for everyone.
Feifei:Well, in our job, tea making comes with the territory.
Neil:You're right – I think I'll go back to daydreaming. Bye.
Feifei:Bye.
