第三部 第五課: wasted , to get a kick out of something
- 昨天晚上 Michael 和一個老同學一起出去玩兒,兩個人都喝得酩酊大醉。現在李華來找他一起去看一個新的藝術展覽。李華會學到兩個常用語:wasted 和 to get a kick out of something。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 嗨, Michael,快走吧,我們該去看展覽了!
- Ah…, Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.
- Got wasted? 你是說你們浪費了好多錢呀?
- No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.
- 哦,你們到酒吧去啦;你說的 wasted 意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉,不是指浪費啊?喔,那你說的 wasted 是怎麼拼的呢?
- W-a-s-t-e-d. We were so wasted that I couldn't even stand up straight.
- 哎喲,你們真是要命耶,喝得站都站不直了,幹嘛要喝那麼多呢?
- I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
- 中學時的好朋友來看你,一高興就喝多了,這我可以理解。在中國啊,我們老同學見面的時候,總是會開個 party,往往也喝好多酒,可是,我們不見得會醉到像你這種程度嘛。
- Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.
- 喝得大醉的時候啊,你覺得很好玩,到第二天,你就後悔了。得了,你得換換衣服,吃點東西。我們得早點去耶,否則人會太多了。
- Ah! Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.
- 啊?你睜開眼睛就想吐呀?那是不能吃東西喔。唉喲,Michael,還好今天是星期六,否則啊你整天都不能上課,什麼事也做不了。
- Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.
- 研究生啊要缺太多課,這可不是開玩笑的。得了,我看你啊,還是先洗個澡,再喝點茶,這樣可能會好些。
- Okay, I'll try.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Michael,你覺得怎麼樣,好點了嗎?快吧,我們快走嘛!
- Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.
- 你說什麼啊?你想踢我啊?
- No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.
- 噢哦~,to get a kick out of something 意思就是為了什麼事感到很開心。疑?那這個 kick 跟踢球的 kick 是同一個字嗎?
- That's right. Get, g-e-t, a kick, k-i-c-k.
- 哎喲,我幹嘛看見你難受我就會高興呢?你啊,是自作自受!
- I know, I know... you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.
- 這你說得還像樣,我啊,不願意看見別人難受,我很高興幫助別人的;幫助像你這樣的美國學生學中文,我是很高興。
- I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.
- 偶爾喝醉一次,看看老的卡通片,也不能說自己是沒有用嘛。你看到你的學生英語有進步,不也讓你很高興嗎?
- Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.
- 哎,Michael, 快走吧!嗨~,看完展覽後你還要不要再去喝個酩酊大醉呀?
- Arrrgh! Li Hua, you really do get a kick out of tormenting me. I'll never get wasted for the rest of my life. I promise.
- 哎喲,我只是開玩笑而已啦;不過啊,我倒真是希望你這輩子再也別喝那麼多酒了!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 別看 Michael 昨天晚上喝醉了,今天還是暈乎乎的,可是他教了李華兩個很有用的常用語,一個是: wasted,那是指「喝得大醉」;另外一個是: to get a kick out of something,那就是「為某件事情感到很高興」。
