第五部 第八課: gee , oh well...
- Michael 和李華正在教室裡等著上課．今天李華會學到兩個常用語：gee 和 oh well...
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎，Michael, 你聽說了沒有，Professor Johnson 的車壞了，這堂課啊取消了。
- His car broke down? Oh! Gee... that's too bad! I was really looking forward to Professor Johnson's class!
- 哎？你不是最討厭上 Professor Johnson 的課嗎？你說 geeeee , 這是什麼意思啊？
- Oh! Come on, Li Hua! Don't you know what sarcasm is by now? Of course I don't like that class!
- 哦～，你是在說反話！哎喲，你們美國學生老說那些諷刺挖苦的話，有的時候我都聽不懂．疑？那，gee 到底是什麼意思嘛？
- Well, "Gee..." is an interjection that shows surprise, wonder, or uncertainty. Sometimes when people say "Gee..." they are just pretending that they are surprised.
- 你是說 gee 放在句子裡，可以表示驚奇或是懷疑．可要是拖長了調，說 geeeeee ，這說話的人啊就是假裝他感到驚奇．疑？等等，那要是我問你，紐約今年的冬天會冷嗎？這個問題當然是很傻啦，因為紐約的冬天總是冷的，那，你會怎麼樣帶著諷刺的口氣來回答呢？
- I would say, "Gee..., I don't know... Winter here has been cold every year for…, Hmm, the last ten thousand years, but maybe this year will be different."
- 幾千年來紐約的冬天都是冷的，今年可能會不同，哎，Michael, 你也真是能說反話哎！
- Now, Li Hua, why don't you give me an example using "Gee" without sarcasm to show that you are surprised.
- 舉個不帶諷刺意思的例子啊... 疑？要是你告訴我你得到一大筆讓你到中國去學習的獎學金，我就會說：Gee, that's great! ．哎， Michael, 教室都空了，你走不走啊？
- Gee, I don't know. Sometimes I just like to sit in an empty classroom and do nothing...
- 得，你願意坐在空教室裡，那我走了喔！
- Hey, wait!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Did you hear, the football team won't make the playoffs this year. Oh well, that's too bad.
- 對，足球隊今年不能參加決賽．疑？你說是 Owell 不好，誰是 Owell ?
- I said, "Oh well". "Oh well" is use to show mild regret. We also use it to tease people or pretend (that) you are upset.
- 哦～，原來這是兩個字，oh 和 well，oh well 就是表示有點遺憾．哎，Michael, 你等等，我要到那個售貨機去買包土豆片兒．(sound of vending machine)，嘿，這個機器壞了哎，我給了一包的錢，它給我兩包。
- It's broken? Oh well, I guess you have to give me a bag. We don't want to waste food, right?
- Oh well, 你說這啊是想逗我．我為什麼要給你一包土豆片哪！還美其名說什麼不要浪費食物，你不就是想白吃我的土豆片嗎？
- You're not going to give me any chips? Oh well, I guess I won't be able to give you a ride home.
- 你為了一包土豆片就不讓我搭你的車，要我走回家啊？行啊，那，我以後就不幫你做中文課作業了！
- Oh well. I guess I won't be able to help you learn English then. Hm, too bad!
- 你呀，別裝模作樣，不幫我學英語就算了，以後啊，不跟你說話了。
- Ha, ahm.., calm down Li Hua. I was just joking, you know.
- Gee, really? 我還真以為啊，你為了一包土豆片就不要我這個朋友了呢。
- Oh well, we've been kidding too much. Let's go home.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 李華今天學到了兩個常用語，一個是： gee，這是一個語氣詞，可以使你「說的話帶有遺憾、驚奇的色彩」．另一個是： oh well...，在中文裡就是「行啊、得啦！」。
