LL: Maybe you could conk out early tonight and do your homework in the morning before class.
|
|
|
啊？你要我早点去睡，明天早上再起来做功课？不行，不行，我如果还有功课没做完，我是睡不着的。 |
|
LL: My dad is the same way about eating out, too. I hope that when I have kids I won't be such a tightwad.
|
|
|
你爸爸也不肯出去吃饭哪！我看你呀，Larry，有了孩子后绝不会像你爸爸那样。其实，作父母的也不容易，要养家，要供孩子读书，花销很大啊。 |
|
LL: My landlord is out of town for the weekend, so I'm up a creek until he gets back on Monday.
|
|
|
什么？你的房东出远门，要到星期一才会回来？那可真麻烦了。也许你可以找个锁匠来开锁？ |
|
LL: My stomach hurts. I think I went overboard with the popcorn.
|
|
|
我刚才就告诉你别吃那么多爆米花，你看，现在胃开始疼了吧？ |
|
LL: No coffee for three days? I told you to go easy on the coffee, not go cold turkey!
|
|
|
嗯，我已经三天没喝咖啡了，晚上睡觉是好多了，可是白天我怎么老是觉得精力不够、昏昏沉沉的呢？ |
|
LL: No, I can't. I'm pretty hungry right now, but I think I would get sick after downing so many hot dogs in so little time.
|
|
|
一下子吃这么多热狗，你当然受不了。不过，人都有狼吞虎咽的时候。象我，回国探亲的时，有时候一顿饭能吃好几十个饺子呢。 |
|
LL: No, but I do prefer a movie in which people act on their beliefs rather than just rattling on about them.
|
|
|
你喜欢电影里的角色要为自己的信仰努力，而不喜欢他们唠唠叨叨地空谈。那我同意！那你到底想看哪一部电影嘛？ |
|
LL: No, he just had some pains in his chest. He knows that he has a bum ticker, so he went to the hospital to have it checked out.
|
|
|
原来他是因为胸口痛才住院。希望他没事。我爸爸的心脏也不好，所以医生特别叮咛他要小心，避免压力太大。 |
|
LL: No, no, I\'m not being mean. To bite the bullet means to resign yourself to doing something that is difficult or unpleasant.
|
|
|
所以，你的意思是硬着头皮去难做的事，或不愉快的事。噢，我知道了，以前打仗的时候有时没有麻药，伤员动手术时只好咬著子弹，忍住疼痛。这个习惯用语就是这么来的吧？ |
|
LL: Nothing, because he drove off. Good for him: I was angry and felt like doing a number on his face with my fists.
|
|
|
撞了就开走了？那太不象话了。这种人真是该揍他一顿。不过像你这样软棉棉的手，受伤的可能是你的手，而不是他的脸。 |
|
LL: OK, That sounds good, but we should call before we go. You know, I am amazed Professor Jones is still teaching classes considering how wiped out he must be.
|
|
|
就是啊，虽然很累，琼斯教授还来上课呢！真是让人佩服！我啊，只要想到去上课都会累，更何况我还没有小宝宝呢。 |
