16 分钟Hi there, this is Harry.
And welcome back to my podcast where I try to give you a better understanding of the english language so that you can improve your conversational English, improve your possibilities and potential for getting that job with that international company you really desire, or to improve your business, English, whatever it might be.
We'll try and help you.
And if there's anybody you think will enjoy or part, well, why don't you give them the details and at the end of the podcast I'll give you my contact address and you can contact me if you wish.
Okay, so what are we going to look at?
Well, we're going to look at colocations and we're going to look at specifically colocations connected with taste and smell.
We hear a lot about taste and smell these days in relation to Covid, as two of the signs that people have.
If they've got Covid, they lose their sense of taste and their sense of smell, which is really sad because the two, the great pleasures, to smell something nice, also smell something not so nice, and to taste something really special.
Yeah.
Okay, so taste and smell.
So I'll give you the list of these colocations, give you some examples, and hopefully you'll be able to get use of these.
Okay, let's start.
A delicate scent or a delicate fragrance.
A rich aroma, a pungent smell, a bitter aftertaste, a bland taste to bring out the flavour, to have a keen sense of smell, full bodied taste to give off an unpleasant smell.
And then something quite informal to catch a whiff of something.
Okay, so let me give you these examples.
A delicate scent or fragrance.
Well, delicate always means gentle.
Something delicate can break very easily.
So when we talk about a delicate scent or a delicate fragrance, it means something quite light, not heavy, not overbearing.
