Feifei:  大家好，欢迎收听本期《你问我答》，我是冯菲菲。 

Dreams

 Finn:  And I’m Finn. This is the programme where we…
 
Phone rings
 
Finn:  Sorry. I’ll just answer that. Hello. Yes it is… Yes I did… What? Thank you, thank you very much. Feifei, I’ve just won the lottery! 我中彩票了！I can’t believe it! 我终于能买一个新包包了！
 
Music and scream builds to a crescendo and then mixes with the sound of an alarm clock.
 
Feifei:  Finn, wake up it’s time to start the programme. 他刚才说什么关于包包来着？
 
Finn:  Yawn… What, but I, eh? I won the… where am I?
 
Feifei:  You’re in the studio. We’re going to present Question and Answer of the Week.
 
Finn:  Yawn. I… oh. I must have been dreaming. I dreamed I won the lottery.
 
Feifei:  You won the lottery? Wow, in your dreams. Actually, today’s question is about dreams.
 
Finn:  Yawn.
 
Feifei:  来自中国的朋友  Echo 想知道怎样用英语说“希望你今晚能梦到我”。
 
Finn:  That’s a good name, Echo.
 
Feifei:  Yes – I like it. How do we say “希望你今晚能梦到我”in English? 
Finn:  Yawn. Yes, “希望你今晚能梦到我”。Well, that is hope you dream of me tonight in English.
 
Feifei:  Echo – there’s your answer. Hope you dream of me tonight. 其实Echo 说得差不多对了，只需要在单词 dream 和 me 之间加上  of 就对了。

Finn:  So, thanks Echo. Hope that answers your question. I just wonder who Echo wants to say this phrase to? Anyway, now we’ve answered Echo’s question, I think I might just go back to sleep.
 
Feifei:  Not so fast Finn! Today’s answer was too simple. 我们一起来看看和单词梦 dream 有关的短语。
 
Finn:  Feifei used one earlier: in your dreams.
 
Feifei:  在梦中，你在说梦话  in your dreams. 这句话可以有种讽刺的意味，像是某人说的话你知道不会成真，这时你就可以说  in your dreams, 在梦中才可能发生这种事情。像这样： 
 Insert 
I think I’m quite a good singer. I’m planning on going professional. 
In your dreams. Sorry, but you’re awful. 
Finn:  A phrase which means the same thing is: dream on. 
Insert 
I think I’m quite a good singer. I’m planning on going professional. 
Dream on. Sorry, but you’re awful. 
Feifei:  另一个有趣的短语是  in my wildest dreams, 字面意思就是在我最疯狂的梦中，也就是说甚至是在一个最疯狂的梦中也不可能发生的事情。通常会这样使用： 
Insert 
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d get to actually meet Johnny Depp. 
Feifei:  这个短语想必大家都不陌生：  a dream come true. 
Insert 
You know, if I won the lottery it would be a dream come true. 
Feifei:  梦想成真。Yawn. Yes it would. I wish I could win the lottery.  Phone rings
 
Feifei:  Hello… yes it is. What? I’ve won the lottery! 
Alarm clock goes off
