BBC - The English We Speak (YouTube), A sting in the tail: The English We Speak - YouTube

A sting in the tail: The English We Speak - YouTube

Feifei: Hello I'm Feifei and welcome to The English

We Speak - and joining me is Rob. Rob: Hello everyone.

Feifei: So Rob, I hear you have a new a hobby?

Rob: Yes that's right - it's very exciting -

let me show you...

Feifei: Arghh! Bees! I don't like them - shut the door!

So you're new hobby is bee keeping?

Rob: Yes I'm a bee keeper - and I love it -

but there is a sting in the tail.

Feifei: Of course there's a sting in the tail -

bees sting - and it hurts, that's why I don't like bees.

Rob: They only sting when they're angry Feifei -

and anyway, when I said 'there's a sting in the tail'

I wasn't referring to the bees.

I meant something unpleasant

comes with something that is meant to be pleasurable.

Feifei: Yes, as I said - looking after bees means

you're likely to get stung.

Rob: That's true - but what I meant was bee keeping is

fun but I wasn't expecting it to cost so much money -

I had to buy all these hives

and these special protective clothes.

Feifei: Yes, you do look silly! So you're saying

bee keeping is fun but the unexpected

cost of it is the sting in the tail?

Rob: Exactly. Let's hear some examples

while I go and get some honey...

Examples: We had a great holiday

but it had a sting in the tail - when we got home

we discovered our house had been broken into.

I love her new book - the story is funny and romantic -

but there's a sting in the tail when someone dies.

Yeah, we all got a pay rise this month,

but there's a sting in the tail -

we're expected to work longer hours.

Feifei: So that's 'a sting in the tail' -

a phrase that means something unpleasant and

sometimes unexpected happens

when doing something good or fun.

Rob: OK Feifei, one of the good things about bee

keeping is you get this delicious honey

- and that's free - go on Feifei, try some.

Feifei: Hmmm honey, delicious!

Oh no, you've brought something else with you...

it's a bee!

Rob: Don't panic - I'll try to catch it... ouch! That hurt.

Feifei: Oh dear - it looks like bee keeping

has more than one sting in the tail!

Rob: Very funny!

Feifei: Bye!
