LL: Oh, well, when people are busy doing their Christmas shopping, they can sometimes be a little on edge.
|
|
|
我真搞不懂耶！还有几个星期就要过圣诞节了，可是有些人看起来好像不是很开心，好像很紧张，很烦躁呢！ |
|
LL: Owl is a bird, but a night owl is someone who likes to stay up all night.
|
|
|
什么？你一夜没睡？难怪你显得很累。不过你说你不是夜间的猫头鹰，熬夜跟猫头鹰有什么关系呢？ |
|
LL: Put the apple here like this. And then turn the handle of the doohickey. And there you have it -- a cored, peeled, and slice apple!
|
|
|
把苹果放在这里，然后转动这个把手。真的耶，你看，皮也削了，核也没了，而且已经切成片了。 |
|
LL: Really? I thought I had the pamphlet for the museum with its closing time, but I seem to have spaced where I put it.
|
|
|
博物馆的小册子也不知道放在哪里了？你今天怎么了？得了，我上网去查吧！让我看看……有了，网站上说他们6点关门。 |
|
LL: Really? You'd better get on that! If you wait too long, they'll charge a big fee, and it might damage your credit score.
|
|
|
星期四上午你就能改完。那太好了。谢谢你。你知道吗？我现在千头万绪，忙得不可开交，我这个月的电话账单还没付呢。 |
|
LL: Right. To conk out is slang for falling into a deep sleep.
|
|
|
你看，我猜对了吧！我知道你过去几天有多累，能好好睡一觉总是好的。 |
|
LL: Say, you know what else was a real hoot? Did you see that show on the comedy channel last night?
|
|
|
你是指昨天晚上那喜剧节目频道播出的节目吗？我当然看了。 |
|
LL: She tried to cheat you out of a month's rent? If my roommate did that, I wouldn't just go off on him, I'd take him to court!
|
|
|
我啊，我英文还不是很好，轻易不敢和人吵架。我只有对我过去那个同屋发了好几次脾气，因为她实在太脏，而且还想偷偷搬出去，就是为了想赖掉一个月的房租呢！ |
|
LL: Some car manufacturers are making retro cars now, too. Chrysler makes a couple of cars that look like cars from the 1940s.
|
|
|
对，我也见过克莱斯勒出的那种汽车。式样象四十年代的车。真的很酷！ |
|
LL: Sorry, but I think British movies are the same as French movies. The characters rattle on about fashion, manners, and society and don't really do anything.
|
|
|
什么！你觉得英国片也经常夸夸其谈地说时装、礼貌、社会风尚，可是却没有什么行动？嗨，那你是不是只爱看武打片？ |
|
LL: Sure, I might be thinner, but I still have more flab than I need. I want to look good when I visit the beach next spring.
|
|
|
原来你是为了明年春天到海滩去玩的时候身材看起来更漂亮？你既年轻又健康，只要少吃一点，多余的脂肪就会消失的。 |
