　　“实用英语”是一个关于英语学习的电台节目，希望同学们能从节目中学到英式英语的新词汇和新说法。本期学习的新说法是emoticon（表情符号）。现在让我们来听听主持人是如何介绍这个词的用法吧！
　　
　　Neil: Hello, this is Real English from Learning English, I’m Neil.
　　Feifei: And I’m Feifei. Hello!
　　Neil: In Real English, we look at words and phrases that you might not find in your dictionary. Today’s word is “emoticon.”
　　Feifei: What?
　　Neil: Emoticon.
　　Feifei: Don’t know what that is.
　　Neil: Oh yes you do, Feifei. Let’s look at the current[时下的] definition. An emoticon is a
　　symbol or combination of symbols to convey[表达] emotional content in written or message form.
　　Feifei: Well, I’m still not sure. Are we talking about smiley[微笑的] faces, Neil?
　　Neil: Yes, we’re talking about the little yellow
　　faces we can send in emails and instant
　　messaging注 systems that express our
　　emotions � we call those emoticons.
　　Feifei: It’s not just smiley faces though, is it, Neil?
　　Neil: No, you can use brackets[括号],
　　dashes[破折号] and colons[冒号] to make smiley or sad faces. These are also emoticons.
　　
　　 Dialogue Excerpts: （对话摘录）
　　
　　A: You know, I always find it difficult to really express my emotions when I’m sending an instant message.
　　B: Yeah, well, why don’t you use those
　　emoticons more?
　　A: I could, yes, but I’m never really sure if they show the right emotion that I want to express.
　　B: Well, there are quite a lot of emoticons you can use: happy, sad, feeling mad! They express a lot of emotions.
　　A: Okay then, I’ll give it a go!
　　
　　Neil: So, Feifei, are you a fan of the
　　emoticon?
　　Feifei: Yes, I like them actually. There’s quite a bit of variety, and you can express your emotions quite clearly when you are
　　messaging someone. It’s nearly as good as talking to them for real!
　　Neil: Well, I wouldn’t say that. There’s no way you can express your emotions in an
　　emoticon, Feifei!
　　Feifei: No, I disagree. I think they’re great!
　　Neil: Well, we can’t spend any more time
　　arguing � join us soon for more Real English.
　　Feifei: Bye.
