No fear (Halloween Special): The English We Speak - YouTube

Feifei: Hello, and welcome to The English

We Speak... I'm Feifei... Argh!

Rob: And I'm Rob. Ah Halloween!

I love Halloween, Feifei. Are you looking

forward to trick or treating?

Feifei: No fear!

Rob: No fear? You mean 'yes fear!'

Halloween's all about fear!

Feifei: That's what I don't like about it.

Rob: What's not to like? There's ghosts

and witches and jack-o'-lanterns!

Come on, Feifei!

Get on your broomstick and let's go!

Feifei: No fear, Rob!

Rob: Why do you keep saying 'no fear',

Feifei? You're kind of missing the point.

Feifei: No, you are missing the point, Rob.

'No fear' is an expression which actually

means 'certainly not', 'no way'.

Rob: Ah, I get it. So by saying 'no fear',

you mean 'absolutely not'.

Feifei: That's right. Let's hear some

examples before my legs turn to jelly.

A: Fancy that Justin Bieber concert?

B: No fear! I can't stand him.

A: Why don't we stay in tonight and watch

golf on the TV.

B: Golf?! No fear. I'd do anything other

than watch golf.

Feifei: This is The English We Speak from

BBC Learning English. We're learning the

expression 'no fear', which means

'absolutely not', 'no way'.

Rob: So come on Feifei, fear is fun.

Let's go trick or treating!

Feifei: No fear, Rob!

Rob: Yes fear!

Feifei: No fear! Actually, Rob, what's that

thing... behind you?

Rob: What thing?

Feifei: Don't move but it's just...

reaching out a bony hand and...

about to touch your shoulder...

Rob: I'm outta here. Argh!

Feifei: Well, at least that gets me

out of Halloween for another year. Bye!
