李华从
Michael那儿学到了两个常用语,一个是pigout,就是吃很多东西的意思;另一
个是bigmouth,就是多嘴的人。
今天的[流行美语]就学习到这里,我们下次节目
再会。

LessonFifteen第十五课
你们大家可能都已经认识了Michael和李华这两个大学生了。
Michael讲英文,李
华是个中国学生,能讲英文,但是她还在不断地跟Michael学。
大家可千万不要
认为这两个在纽约的大学生老是到外面去玩。
其实他们学习都很努力,现在他们
就要在李华的宿舍里一起念书,准备考试。
李华今天会学到两个常用语,一个是:
what'sup,这是一个用来打招呼的通俗说法。
另一个是:
nobrainer,意思是某件
事很容易,不用动脑子就能做成。
L:
嗨,Michael,快进来。
M:
Hey,LiHua,what'sup?
L:
什么?
M:
What'sup?
Whatareyoudoing?
L:
What'sup?
我倒是听人这么说过,可是我还没有弄清楚这句话到底是什么意
思,我应该怎么回答?
M:
What'supisreallyacommongreeting.
L:
噢,what'sup就是一般打招呼,不是指我的头上是什么呐?
M:
No.It'slikesaying,"Whatishappeninginyourlife?
"
L:
我知道了,what'sup就是中文里我们说的:
怎么样?
M:
Well,it'sreallyonlyspokenlanguage.
L:
要是我去看一个我已经有两个月没见的朋友,我在见到她的时候我可以说
What'sup,对吗?
M:
Yes,definitely!
L:
那别人对我说what'sup?
我又该怎么回答呢?
M:
Youcanexplainwhat'sgoingoninyourlife,oryoucouldsaysomethingassimple
as:
Notmuch.
L:
要是你问我,What'sup?
我就可以说:
Oh,notmuch,justgettingreadyforour
test.意思就是:
噢,没什么,就是在准备我们的考试。
M:
That'sgoodusage.Youcanreallysayanything.
L:
对,你怎么回答都行。
好吧,我们该学习了。
我真是希望这次考试赶快过去。
M:
Youstresstoomuch,thistestwillbeanobrainer.
L:
你是说我压力太大,没有脑子?
你知道我脑子很灵的呀!
