美國(guó)之音之流行美語(yǔ)lesson 321 chilling; Oh, Snap
李華來找Larry， Larry正坐在沙發(fā)上發(fā)呆。今天我們要學(xué)兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：chilling和Oh Snap.
LH: Hey Larry, 想什么呢?
LL: Oh you know, just chilling.
LH: 是啊，房間里好象是有點(diǎn)冷，我去把溫度調(diào)高。
LL: What? Oh, no, I'm not chilly, I'm chilling.
LH: Chilly不就是涼颼颼的意思嗎？
LL: Oh, not chilly. If you're chilly, you're cold. But if you're chilling it means you're just hanging out.
LH: 哦，我明白了。你說的chilling就是放松、閑待著的意思。你今天不是有很多事情要做嗎？還不趕快行動(dòng)起來。
LL: Well to be honest Li Hua, I have a bit of headache, so I kind of just want to lay about and chill for a bit.
LH: 頭疼？你是不是生病了？發(fā)燒嗎？要不要去看醫(yī)生？
LL: I don't think I'm sick. I just had a bit too much to drink at Jimmy's birthday party last night.
LH: 哦，原來是昨天喝多了，難怪頭疼。你看上去臉色是不太好。
LL: Tell me about it. Now I just want to lay around and chill.
LH: 昨天晚上Jimmy的生日派對(duì)還真熱鬧。我玩得特別開心。
LL: I had a really good time too. Though I have this nightmarish bruise on my leg and couldn't figure out where I got it.
LH: 哈！你真的一點(diǎn)都不記得了？
LL: What? What happened?
LH: 昨天Jimmy的女朋友沒站穩(wěn)，把椅子碰倒，撞到了你的腿上。看來你真是喝多了。So you're just chillin' here all day?
LL: I think so. I need to get some groceries and pick up my dry cleaning, but I don't really feel up to it for right now. I just want to chill.
LH: 確實(shí)，昨天折騰到那么晚，我今天也不太想動(dòng)。I could stand for some chillin' too. 電視里有什么好節(jié)目嗎？
LL: Eh, not really. I have been watching some reruns. Ghost busters, The Lord of the Rings part II, Titanic....
LH: WOW, you really are chillin'.
LL: Yeah. I have taken chillin' to a new level.
LH: 你再這樣chill下去，小心粘在沙發(fā)上站不起來了。
LL: Then I would be complete....
******
兩小時(shí)過后。
LL: The movie is terrible. I've seen paint dry with more plot development. Oh snap!
LH: 不簡(jiǎn)單，這么無聊的電影咱倆居然能從頭看到尾。不過Larry, 你剛才說的Oh Snap是什么意思？
LL: Oh snap! It is an exclamation used to indicate that a witty thing has just been said. For instance, if we go out for dinner and I forget my wallet, you could say, "What a surprise, I have to pay as usual. Oh snap!"
LH: 噢，原來是感嘆詞。那我上次跟朋友約好早上一起去跑步，結(jié)果睡過了頭，他就可以說，You sleep more than a bear in hibernation. Oh snap!
LL: Yeah, but you have to say it like you mean it.
LH: OK, let me try. 這電影太沒勁了，我一直在打哈欠。Oh Snack! wait.... not snack. One more time. Oh Snap!
LL: Now you're getting it.
LH: Oh Snap. 我完全忘記了今天十一點(diǎn)半約好了去看牙。
LL: Man, you have got the memory of a goldfish. Oh Snap!
LH: 有個(gè)病人臨時(shí)取消，我才約到今天。 我得趕緊走，不然要晚了。 怎么樣，要不要陪我去？
LL: No thanks. I don't think I'm alone in wanting to avoid the dentist office.
LH: Oh snap!
LL: Plus, I have been working overtime the whole week, and I just want to lay on the couch and chill on my day off.
LH: You're getting to be an expert at that. Oh snap! 好吧，那我自己去，哎呀，我手機(jī)呢？
(Cell Phone Ringing)
LH: (Answering the phone) Hello....Yes. I am on my way. Thanks.... (對(duì)Larry說)這家診所真不錯(cuò)，居然還會(huì)打電話來提醒我。我走了，Bye...
今天李華學(xué)了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是chilling, 意思是放松；另一個(gè)是Oh Snap是感嘆詞。
