LL: A vibe is a feeling. Since I don't think I did very well on this test, I have a bad vibe about the grade I am going to get.

LH: 噢，vibe就是一種感覺，你覺得你這次考試考得不好，所以有種不祥之兆，也就是你所謂的bad vibe。

LL: (Gets test back) Ooh. You see, my bad vibe was right. I got a C.

LH: 嗨，C不算太糟啦，這門課很困難，而且瓊斯教授批分?jǐn)?shù)一貫都很嚴(yán)。

LL: Yeah, I actually had a bad vibe about this course before the class ever started. Some of my friends told me it was difficult and I'd have to work hard.

LH：其實(shí)我在上這門課之前也有點(diǎn)擔(dān)心，因?yàn)樯线^這課的人都說很難，要下很多功夫。

LL：So, what did you get?

LH: 嗯，我得到了A。這次考試算是不錯(cuò)，不過我很擔(dān)心下星期要交的那份報(bào)告。I have a bad vibe about that paper.

LL: Why do you have a bad vibe about the paper?

LH: 因?yàn)槲矣X得用英文寫報(bào)告是最難的。英文不是我的母語，每次寫完英文報(bào)告，我總覺得好像有很多不通順的地方。

LL: Li Hua, you can always ask me or another student to look over your paper before your turn it in. I am sure you'll do fine. About that, I have a good vibe.

LH: 真的？Larry，你愿意修改我的報(bào)告？你真好，謝謝你。

LL: Uh-oh. I have a bad vibe about the look Professor Jones is giving us right now.

LH: 對，噓，瓊斯教授在看我們了，別說了，下課后再聊吧。

******

LL: (After class) You know, Li Hua, getting a C on the test in Professor Jones' class was a real wake-up call.

LH: 你說拿了C是wake-up call，哎，這個(gè)wake-up call不是叫人起床嗎？難道你在上課的時(shí)候睡覺??？

LL: No, no, a wake-up call is not like an alarm clock that wakes you up from your sleep. What I meant was the grade I got woke me up to the fact that I have to work harder for this class.

LH: 噢，wake-up call在這里不是指鬧鐘叫人起床，而是指一個(gè)警告。所以你是說，這次考試成績不好提醒你要在這節(jié)課上加把勁，要更用功！

LL: Yeah! Professor Jones gave me a wake-up call in the form of a bad grade. Now that class is over, I'm going to go home and study. Hey! Li Hua! Look out for that bike!

LH: 哎喲！那個(gè)騎自行車的人差點(diǎn)兒撞上我。

LL: Yeah, that was a wake-up call for us to be more careful about walking across campus.

LH: 說的也是，這就提醒了我們，在校園里走路也得小心注意，不然很可能會受傷的。

LL: We should be more careful. Say, Li Hua, where are you going now?

LH: 嗯，我想利用下午沒有課的時(shí)間，到體育館的健身房去鍛煉鍛煉。

LL: Why the sudden interest in physical fitness? You don't usually go to the gym, do you?

LH: 嗨，別說了，你也知道我這個(gè)人是從不上健身房的。還不是上回健康檢查時(shí)，醫(yī)生說我體重有點(diǎn)超重，所以嘍，that was a wake-up call.

LL: You don't look overweight to me.

LH: Larry，你心地真好，還安慰我看起來不胖。其實(shí)我倒不是那么在意外表看起來胖不胖，主要還是擔(dān)心肥胖會影響健康吧！

LL: And maybe it was a wake-up call that you and I shouldn't go out to have ice cream so often.

LH: ??？什么？要我放棄吃冰淇淋？我愿意每天上健身房，但是我一定得吃冰淇淋！

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語。第一個(gè)是bad vibe, 就是不好的感覺，不詳?shù)念A(yù)感。另一個(gè)常用語是wake-up call，這是指一個(gè)提醒或警告。
