第五部 第十课: to jinx , come off it
- 现在 Michael 和李华在準备下午的考试．李华会学到两个常用语：to jinx 和 come off it。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎，Michael, 考试準备得怎麼样啦？可别再像上次那样考砸了囉！
- Ahh! Li Hua, don't say that! You'll jinx me!
- Jinx you? 听不懂，什麼是 jinx 啊？
- Jinx. Jinx can be used as a verb or a noun. One way to jinx someone is to say something unlucky, like you just said.
- 哦～，jinx 这个词可以作动词，也可以作名词．你刚才说：You'll jinx me, 意思就是你认為我说 「这次你可别考砸了」 这句话不吉利，会让你倒霉．哎哟，Michael, 你那麼迷信啊！
- Well, some people believe in jinxes. For instance, a lot of people think that there is a jinx on the Chicago Cubs baseball team. It hasn't won a World Series for 95 years.
- 哼～，有人说芝加哥棒球队 「小熊队」 撞上了倒霉运，所以老是进不了世界盃决赛．疑，Michael, 你刚才说，There is a jinx on the Chicago Cubs. 这个 jinx 就是名词了吧？
- That's right! I don't believe in black magic or anything like that. But I do think that if someone hears something unlucky, or believes that there is a jinx, it can affect his or her performance.
- 我啊，也不相信真的有什麼魔术或巫术的．可是，要是你确实相信听到倒霉话就真的会倒霉，那是会影响你的心理，也会影响你做事的结果．我就不信真的有 jinx ！
- Really? What if I told you that I think you're going to fail this test unless you apologize to me? I am jinxing you!
- 什麼啊？你要我对你道歉！我要不跟你道歉，我考试就会不及格！你想咒我啊， You are trying to jinx me? 我才不怕呢．我又不信 jinx 这一套！我只是希望你这次别考砸了，我是好意哎！
- Li Hua, you said it again! I'm going to give you five seconds to apologize for jinxing me.
- 给我五秒鐘对你道歉？我干嘛吗要道歉啊，我又没有说错话．我啊看你还是赶快去复习你的功课啦！别相信什麼悔气不悔气的。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎哟， Michael, 我这一次啊肯定考砸了．都是你的错， you jinxed me before the test!
- Oh come off it, Li Hua. You said you don't believe in jinxes.
- Come off it? 你在说什麼呀？
- I said "come off it!" That means "stop talking nonsense" or "stop pretending that something is true".
- 喔， come off it 就表示 「不要瞎说」 、 「别装蒜啦」．嘿，你不是说你相信听了倒霉的话就真的会倒霉呀？
- Come off it, Li Hua! You're the one who said that if someone fails, it has nothing to do with the jinx.
- 我是不相信所谓的 jinx, 可是你在考试前和我争来争去，影响我情绪，所以我没有考好啊！
- You want me to feel guilty? Well, I don't!
- Come off it, Michael! 你要我跟你道歉，还说不然我就会考不好，这当然影响我情绪啦！
- Come off it, Li Hua! It's not my fault. It's your fault you didn't come to class on Friday. You missed about a third of the material covered on the test.
- 什麼？我考试没考好是因為我礼拜五没有来上课？哎，你明明知道那天我生病了嘛！
- Oh, come off it! I saw you later that day. You weren't sick!
- You come off it, Michael! 我是真的生病啦！
- Uh, Unlucky, huh? So you're still blaming me for jinxing you? Come off it, already. You don't really believe in that jinx nonsense, do you?
- 对，我考试没考好，不怪你，算我自己倒霉，行了吧？
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 李华今天在和 Michael 谈论考试的时候，学到了两个常用语： to jinx 表示「带来坏运气」； come off it 表示「不要瞎说 、别装蒜」。
