每日會(huì)話第一期74
A: The data is all messed up! Who did this?
B: I typed the report... Maybe I used the wrong data, I think.
A: You think you used! Since when did you start thinking again? This is such an important file!
B: I'm sorry. This won't happen again, I promise.
A: 資料全都搞亂了。誰(shuí)弄的？
B: 我打了這份報(bào)告... 我想，也許我用錯(cuò)資料了。
A: 你想你用錯(cuò)了！你幾時(shí)變得會(huì)想？這份檔案非常重要！
B: 對(duì)不起。我保證不會(huì)再發(fā)生。
重點(diǎn)解說：
★ data「資料」，此語(yǔ)原為datum的復(fù)數(shù)形，原則上視為復(fù)數(shù)名詞，但近來(lái)亦有用作單數(shù)名詞的情形。
★ mess up「弄亂，搞得一團(tuán)糟」Don't mess the room up!「不要把房間搞得一團(tuán)糟。
★ Since when did you start ~ again?的意思是「你幾時(shí)變得會(huì)~？」此語(yǔ)專用于叱責(zé)做錯(cuò)事卻找借口敷衍了事的人，例如一個(gè)孩子向他媽媽頂嘴說「可是你沒跟我這么講」，這時(shí)候做媽媽的可以叱責(zé)"Since when did you start listening again?"「你幾時(shí)變得會(huì)聽話？」
