Hello, and welcome to the English We Speak from BBC Learning English.
I'm Jiayin.
And I'm Neil.
A legend in my own lifetime.
A legend in your own lifetime?
Neil, are we talking about you?
Yeah, I'm famous and still living.
And that's what I mean by a legend in my own lifetime.
So you're famous just for being alive?
No, no.
Famous for presenting this amazing the English We Speak program.
Hmm.
You are well and truly alive.
But I'm not sure about famous.
When we describe someone as a legend in their own lifetime,
we mean they are a living person who is incredibly well known
and admired for something or were admired when they were alive,
such as, for example, Tim Berners Lee, who invented the World Wide Web, and me.
