第七部 第十课: a blast , lighten up
- Larry 去 Florida 渡假了一个星期．李华现在正在开车去飞机场接他．今天李华会学到两个常用语：a blast 和 lighten up。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 嗨， Larry，我在这裡！
- Hi, Li Hua, how are you? Thank you for coming to pick me up.
- 啊～，没事！哎，佛罗里达怎麼样？ 玩得好吗？
- Oh man, I had a blast! My friends in Miami took a few days off, just to hang out with me. We did nothing but hang out on the beach and go partying every night!
- 哟，你那个在 Miami 的朋友还请了几天的假陪你玩呀！那你肯定玩得很痛快．疑？Larry， 你刚才说 I had a... 什麼来啦？
- I said I had a blast. "To have a blast" means to have a great time. If something was a blast, that means it was a lot of fun.
- Blast 不是「爆炸」的意思吗？怎麼 "to have a blast" 又成了玩得特别高兴！哎哟，学英文啊真不容易！得了，Larry，你啊玩得痛快，我可是花了整整一个星期帮 Jones 教授来準备下学期的课呢！
- Yeah, well, I tried to get you to come along. You would've had a blast too.
- 对，你是请我一起去了，可是我不能去啊．我得工作，要不然下学期的学费哪儿来呢？不过，昨天啊 Rick 过生日，我晚上啊去他的 party 了．
- Well, too bad I didn't come back a day sooner... his parties are always a blast.
- 对哎，每次啊 Rick 开 party，大家总是玩得很痛快．昨天晚上我到早上叁点才回家．我走的时候还有好多人在那儿呢！大家都玩疯了！
- Sounds like you had a blast. What about you? Li Hua, your birthday's today. Are you going to celebrate?
- 嗯～，生日也不是什麼大事嘛．我在中国的时候从来就不过生日的。
- Aww, whatever. I think everyone should have a blast on their birthday!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 唉，时间啊过得真快，我都已经 25 岁了，四分之一个世纪吶！可我还在这儿唸书，还没有一个正式的工作...
- What? Lighten up, Li Hua! You're in your mid-twenties! You have plenty of time to decide what you want to do!
- 什麼啊？你叫我 lighten up? 你是说我要减轻体重啦？你在胡说什麼嘛？
- Hey! I'm not talking about weight here. To lighten up means to relax, to be less serious.
