M:Why did you change a new apartment,Heather?

W:My company has moved to a new office building after taking the rent into consideration.It is a little far from my current apartment.In order to get enough sleep,I had to make this decision.

M:So what is your new home like?

W:Oh,I feel great.The kitchen is bigger and neater with a built-in oven.But what I like the most is the satellite TV.Moreover,the Internet speed is quite fast.

M:That is great to your taste.You are really keen on dessert.

W:You get the idea.And there is a big supermarket next to the apartment building and a few restaurants across the street.

M:Fantastic! Is the rent the same as before?

W:Well,I live with my best friend now,so we share the rent.That is 250 dollars every month,including water,electricity and gas.

M:How on earth could you find such a great place?

M:I’m not sure about that.I’m not much of a theater-goer,but all the same,what’s on?

W:There’s a popular musical West Side Story.What do you think of this one?

M:As I said,I am not that keen on theater.

W:Well,what would you prefer to do?

M:I am more interested in something active.I think I’d rather go roller-skating.

W:I don’t fancy roller-skating but what about going dancing on the weekend?

M:Well,to be honest,I don’t mind going dancing.I hope we will have a lot of fun.What shall we do after that?

W:We could go to that cozy restaurant around the corner.Or we can walk and talk all night long.

M:Oh,I love that restaurant.We can have dinner.I love their waffles and black coffee with milk.I can’t wait for the weekend.See you then.

W:See you.

W:Hi,Harry,what’s new?

M:Where have you been? I’ve been trying to get in touch with you for days.You are the only one I can turn to.

W:I went to New York on business.What’s up?

M:I’m out of work.

W:How come? You told me it was a good job and you would do it well a month ago.Why did this happen suddenly?

M:It’s a long story.In a word,I didn’t do a good job.

W:What are you going to do now?

M:I’m trying to find a job as soon as possible.Nicole doesn’t know yet.I didn’t tell her.I spent the past three days at the coffee shop next to your office.She thought I went to work as usual.

W:That’s not the way to solve the problem.Have you ever searched for a job on the Internet?

M:Of course,I have.But I wasn’t able to get any of the jobs that I am interested in.

W:Listen.Maybe you could go home and tell Nicole about this.I’m sure she’ll understand.

M:I just don’t know how to bring it up… Well,she has the right to know anyway.

　　Hello,everyone,and welcome to Words and Their Stories.This is Randell in New York City.In today’s program,we are going to talk about the American idiom “be the bee’s knees” as someone asked me to explain it.According to a study,“be the bee’s knees” was first used in the 18th century to mean something very small and insignificant.In the 1920s,at which time a whole collection of American slang expressions were coined,“be the bee’s knees” meant something that’s great,unique,and of high quality.This is still used today,although not as much as in the 1920s and 1930s.People associate the bee’s knees with the 1920s.The 1920s was a marvelous time for existing modernism in almost all areas,such as arts,architecture and society,especially in places like New York,Paris,Berlin,Los Angles,Chicago,and so on.So,how should we use the idiom? Examples of how it is used are as follows:I know Taylor.She is the bee’s knees.Julia is a terrible student but she thinks she’s the bee’s knees.Bob’s new car is really the bee’s knees.Until next time…I’m Randell.
