Handy 拿手,方便

Helen: It has several uses though. The word is handy, h-a-n-d-y, handy.

Oliver: 这个词儿和手有关, hand. Handy 在手这个字的后边多了一个字母Y。

Helen: Often people talk about someone who is handy with something. That means this person is good at doing something, for example fixing cars.

Oliver: 也就是说,handy在这里是做什么事情很拿手,很在行的意思。你举的例子是有人修车很在行,就可以用handy。

Helen: Yes, my friend Keith likes cars very much and he’s good at fix problems in them, so he’s very handy with cars.

Oliver: 让我们听一个例子。

Insert A: There’s something wrong with my computer, it keeps shutting down after 10 minutes.

B: Why don’t you give Jason a call? He’s really handy with computers.

A: Thanks, I’ll give him a ring now.

Oliver: Helen, 你说过 handy这个词儿还有其它的意思。

Helen: Yes, handy could also mean convenient.

Oliver: 有方便的意思。

Helen: For example, I always find it handy to have a pen with me.

Insert A: It’s too dark to see the keyhole.

B: Hang on, I’ve got a little torch on my key ring.

A: Oh, that’s handy.

Oliver: 好啦,我们今天学到的词儿是handy,这个词儿有两个基本意思,一个意思是某人做什么事情很拿手,很在行,另外一个意思是方便。
