第四部 第十叁课: junkies , cut it out
- Michael 现在在玩电子游戏，李华在等他一起去和朋友吃饭． Michael 今天会教会李华两个常用语： junkies 和 cut it out.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 嗨，Michael ，你还没有玩够这电子游戏呀？你这个人怎麼回事儿嘛！
- Just a minute. (video game sounds stop) Oh never mind. You are right, Li Hua. I need to do something more useful with my time. I'm a video game junkie.
- 你说你是什麼啊？ Junkie ？ 那是什麼啊？
- I called myself a "video game junkie."
- 哦～，你是说你玩电子游戏玩太多了，对不对？
- You got it. The word "junkie" originally was slang for a drug addict. Now, however, people used the word "junkie" to describe people who are very absorbed in a hobby or kind of entertainment.
- 哦～，所以 junkie 是指那些沉醉於自己嗜好的人．疑？那，除了像你这种老爱玩电子游戏的人以外，还有其他的 junkies, 对不对？
- Of course! For instance, my dad is a golf junkie. He goes to the golf course at least twice a week, and plays for hours.
- 没错，你爸爸真是个高尔夫球迷，一个星期要打两次，每次还要打好几个小时．哎，那他啊，肯定是退休了，不然那来那麼多时间啊？疑？ Michael, 你可不可以再给我举几个不同的 junkies 的例子呢？
- Well, my friend Mitch, he is a sports junkie. He watches football in the fall, hockey in the winter, and baseball in the spring and summer. He finds a game on TV almost every day of the year, and he knows everything about every player.
- OK，所以你那个朋友 Mitch，他呀是个大球迷。每天在电视上看球赛，秋天看足球，冬天呢就看曲棍球，春夏天又看棒球，而且还知道每一个球员吶．哇，真是个大球迷哎！
- That's right. We don't use the word "junkie" for just any fan. We use it for people who can't live without their hobby.
- 哦～，所以 junkies 还是特别指那些没有这些嗜好就没办法活的人吶！
- Yeah, like you. You are a soap opera junkie. I've seen you run to the student union between classes just so you can watch soap operas on the TV there. You are a junkie!
- 什麼啊？你说我是连续剧迷？我至少不像你对电子游戏那麼迷．好了好了，快走了啦，我们跟 Jack 还有 Sarah 约好要吃饭的。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 唉！ Michael ，我们得走了啦，否则要迟到了。
- Mmm hmm. (sound continues) Ahh! Come on, come on!
- Michael， 把遥控器给我！
- Hey! Cut it out!
- (Click, TV turns off) 对不起， Michael ，我们再不走啊要来不及了．疑？你刚才说什麼 cut it out, 什麼意思啊？
- Ah! I said "cut it out." That means "stop it!"
- 哦， cut it out 就是说 「别这样」 啊？疑？那这句话是在什麼场合用的啊？
- If someone is doing something that annoys you, and you really want them to stop, you can use this phrase. For instance, I was busy playing that game when you tried to grab the controller from me. I wanted you to stop trying to grab it, so I said "cut it out".
- 哦～，所以，谁要是做的事让你很讨厌，你要他别这麼做，这个时候啊你就可以说这句话．就像啊，刚才我要抢你的遥控器时，你就说 cut it out, 就是让我别抢．看来，这个 cut it out 还挺有用的喔。
- You understand. So what do you say if someone starts throwing peanuts at you, like this.
- 哎，你干嘛拿花生扔我啊？ Stop, Er... Cut it out, Michael!
- Very good. I guess you really have learned this phrase.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Michael 今天用扔花生来教李华怎麼说 cut it out，也就是 「别这样！」．这回李华恐怕再也忘不了这个说法了．李华今天还学到 junkies 这个词，意思是「对某种嗜好或好玩的事着了迷的人」。
