Lesson 20: Euro
TAPESCRIPTS
Listening Section 1
No named part of the world has introduced more new words into English than Europe. It's
all happened of course in the last 10 or 20 years, and it's this 'euro' prefix that's caused all
the attention to be focussed upon the area of Europe. The Euro of course is the most
obvious thing: the actual unit of money which became so popular in Europe a few years
ago. And now everybody talks about it. But, it's not just that. It's the prefix 'euro' being
used as a blend word along with all sorts of other things.
Listening section 2
I mean early on, for instance, people talked about 'euro-currency' and 'euro-money', and
then the 'euro-fighter' came along, the Defence Establishment's development. And now,
everything has a 'euro' possibility and so one of the commonest ways of creating new
words in English these days is take a perfectly ordinary word and just shove 'euro' in front
of it. So, you can have 'euro-butter' for regulations to do with butter and 'euro-eggs' and
'euro-chickens' and 'euro-fireworks' and 'euro - anything you like really!'
