第十部 第一课: chocoholic , fix
- 李华和 Larry 到商店裡去买东西．李华看到巧克力正在减价出售，所以买了一大堆．今天李华会学到两个常用语： chocoholic 和 fix.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Whoa, Li Hua. I didn't know you were such a chocoholic. How are you going to eat all of that?
- 我看这巧克力多便宜啊！所以当然得多买一些囉！疑？你刚才说我是 chocoholic，那是什麼意思啊，是不是说我很爱吃巧克力？
- A chocoholic is someone who likes chocolate so much that they are practically addicted to it.
- 哦～， chocoholic 还真的是指特别爱吃巧克力的人啊，可是，我还没有到上癮的地步啦． Larry，喝酒成癮的人在英文裡面就是 alcoholic．那 chocoholic 是不是跟 alcoholic 一样严重呀？
- Don't worry. Being a chocoholic isn't as serious as being an alcoholic. All you have to worry about is getting fat from eating so much candy.
- 我啊确实是很爱吃巧克力，你要说我是 chocoholic 也没关係．不过，我不会因為吃巧克力而发胖，因為我挺能控制自己，我一天啊只吃一、两块。
- I suppose that's reasonable. My mom is a real chocoholic, too. It's easy to buy her a birthday present or a mother's day present - I just buy her a box of chocolates.
- 原来，你妈妈也爱吃巧克力啊．这样看来，好像大多数喜欢吃巧克力的人都是女的．你们男孩儿难道不喜欢巧克力吗？
- Personally, I love chocolate, but I know a lot of guys who don't like it very much. I don't know why chocolate seems to be more popular among girls.
- 嗯，我也搞不清楚為什麼女孩子要比男孩子更喜欢巧克力．这样吧！我们啊可以做个调查，看看每个人每天吃多少巧克力，说不定能找出答案哦！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, have you had your daily chocolate fix yet?
- Chocolate fix? Fix 是修理的意思，修理巧克力？ Larry，你在说什麼啊？
- To get a "fix" is to get a portion of something that you're addicted to and thereby relieve your craving. You're a chocoholic, so you need a chocolate fix once in a while.
- 哦～， fix 在这裡不是修理的意思．你是指我每天都要吃巧克力，今天有没有吃了巧克力，过了隐的意思啊．那 Larry，我知道你喜欢喝咖啡，我是不是能说每天早上你都需要 a caffeine fix？
- That's exactly right. Once in a while, I need a chocolate fix, too. I don't know why, but sometimes I really crave chocolate.
- 你有的时候也爱吃巧克力啊？这麼说你和我一样，都是 chocoholic 囉？
- I don't need to have chocolate every day, but I am guilty of needing an occasional chocolate fix.
- 哎哟！原来你只是偶尔想吃巧克力啊．对了，回答你刚才的问题，我今天啊还没有过我的 chocolate 隐呢！
- Okay, then I have a suggestion. Let's go to Starbucks and get coffee and chocolate chip cookies.
- 好主意耶！到星巴克咖啡馆去喝咖啡，还吃带巧克力的点心，这样啊你和我都可以解馋了！
- We'll be getting a sugar fix at the same time, too. It's a brilliant plan!
- 等等，什麼又是 sugar fix？
- Well, some people crave sweet things in general, so they need a sugar fix. In addition, sugar gives you an extra boost of energy.
- 没错，有的人啊每天都得吃甜的东西，不吃啊就好像少了什麼似的．你说糖还有提神的作用啊？这我倒是不知道．既然如此，那好吧，快去咖啡馆囉！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到两个常用语，第一个是： chocoholic，是形容「一个人爱吃巧克力到了成癮的地步」；另一个常用语是： fix，在这裡是名词，就是「吃自己特别爱吃的东西过过隐」。
