　　John: Learning English from the BBC and today we’re with the DJs! Chen’s with me, Chen, are you a DJ wannabe?

　　Sun Chen: A DJ what?

　　John: Well, a DJ is short for disc jockey, and is formed from the first letter of both words ‘disc’ and ‘jockey’. A disc jockey is someone who plays CDs on the radio or at a nightclub, and usually says a few words in between the tracks! And wannabe, is someone who ‘wants to be’ something; you just run the words together, ‘wannabe’.

　　Sun Chen: I think we need some explanation here! 那什么才是DJ呢? 其实DJ 就是在电台主持音乐节目的主持人。有些在夜总会里打碟的人，也叫 DJ.这个简称的两个字母 D 和 J，分别来自单词碟片，disc, 和操作员 jockey。如果你要是想成为一名未来的电台音乐节目主持人， a wannabe disc jockey, 那你肯定希望能够进入电台，在节目当中播放音乐。在英语当中，我们就把 want to be, 说成一个简单的俚语，就是 wannabe!

　　John: Being a DJ is the dream of lots of young people, and Ben from Cornwall in south-west England has made his dream come true! He’s not even 20 years old, but he’s already been a DJ in nightclubs and at weddings. This is how it all began.
