第九部 第五课: to toss something , digs
- Larry 在準备搬家，李华呢特别去 Larry 家帮他收拾装箱．今天李华会学到两个常用语：: to toss something 和 digs.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, what do you think of this sweater? It's got several holes. Should I toss it?
- 你要把这件毛衣扔给我装箱啊？你自己都说有好几个洞了，还留它干嘛？扔了算啦！
- That's what I meant. I didn't mean to toss the sweater to you. I mean to throw it out. To toss something means to throw something out.
- 哦～，原来 to toss it 就是把东西扔了的意思啊．这件毛衣啊真的该丢了．其实，还有一些衣服，你也该丢掉了囉。
- Hey, I didn't ask your opinion of my wardrobe. I just wanted to know if I should toss that one particular sweater.
- 哎！我也只是帮你忙啊．如果你不要我帮忙，那就算囉！我才不管你衣柜裡哪些衣服该丢，哪些不该丢呢！
- Okay, since you're so eager to help: Should I toss this pair of shoes, too? They're really old and gross.
- 这还要问啊？你这双鞋又旧又脏的，当然该丢掉囉！哎，还有啊，你那件黄的 T 恤衫也可以扔了。
- No, I'm going to use that as a rag for cleaning my new apartment. I hate to toss something that I can still find a use for.
- 你想拿那件破衣服来当抹布，废物利用啊，这倒是不错．哎， Larry，冰箱裡的这些苹果都烂了，可以扔掉了吗？
- Yes, I'm afraid that there is quite a bit in the refrigerator that needs to be tossed. I buy things and then I'm never home to eat them.
- 我也是哎，经常啊买了东西不吃，最后又扔掉．也许下回啊，该买些冷冻食品，不然，让食物烂了又扔掉，好浪费喔！
- You're right. It's really terrible to toss out food.
- 好吧！那我先帮你清一清冰箱裡的东西，我可以把烂掉的食品全都扔掉吗？ Can I toss them out?
- You can toss out whatever you think needs to be tossed.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Well, how do you like my new digs?
- Digs? Dig 不是「挖」的意思（吗）？你在说什麼啊？这是你的新公寓哎！
- My new "digs" is my new apartment, Li Hua. "Digs" is slang for one's place of residence.
- 嗨， dig 不是挖土，挖洞的挖吗！你啊用的是名词，还是多数． Digs，所以，这就是指「一个人住的地方」。
- That's right. My new digs is a bit empty now, but once I move my stuff in, this should be a nice apartment.
- 嗯，现在看起来啊是有点空空荡荡．可是，我担心你东西搬进来以后啊就会乱囉。
- Hey, I'm not that messy! I like to keep my digs nice.
- 对，你啊不算太乱，但是也不见得是那种非常整洁乾净的人啊。
- Okay, you're entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to disagree with you. I happen to be very proud of the way I maintain my digs.
- 我当然可以保留我的意见囉！你也可以完全不同意我的看法．哎，其实啊，你的家只要你自己满意就行囉．说正经的，Larry，你要不要我帮你佈置新家，your new digs？
- Let's just take care of moving first. Once all of my stuff is here, we can talk about decorating.
- 那也是喔，还是先搬完了再说，再不赶快搬啊，今晚你恐怕得在旧公寓裡睡觉囉！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语，第一个是： to toss something，就是「把东西扔掉」的意思．另一个常用语是： digs，这是指「一个人的居住的地方」。
