Feifei: A trip to the moon?! 什么？还要到月球上去探险旅游？OK, now I know youre joking. 这肯定是个玩笑！
Neil: Youre right Feifei. Im just winding2 you up. To wind someone up.
Feifei: 这个短语的意思就是告诉一个人没有的事情，从而来和这个人开玩笑。To wind someone up 捉弄某人。
Example
A: Did you hear that Mikes going to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen?
B: Really? Whys that?
A: Well, he says the Queen just invited him for tea.
B: Oh, come on, hes just winding you up. You know hes always joking around.
Neil: Its a verb. To wind someone up.
Feifei: 这是一个动词短语 to wind someone up.
Neil: But it can also be used as a noun. A wind-up.
Feifei: 这个短语还可以变成一个名词 a wind-up.
Neil: Be careful with the pronunciation because its spelt the same as wind, but pronounced wind.
Feifei: 大伙应该注意在这个短语里 wind 和 wind 风 这个词的拼写是完全一样的，可是它读做 wind，不是 wind.
Neil: So, when Mike said he was going for tea with the Queen, it was just a wind-up.
Feifei: 当 Mike 说女王邀请他一块喝下午茶的时候，那只不过 a wind-up 而已。 Well Neil, Im going shopping now. Im going to buy a new car; Im thinking of a Rolls Royce.
Neil: A Rolls Royce? How can you afford that?
Feifei: I won the lottery3.
Neil: Ah, sTOP winding me up!
