第十一部 第十四課: boss , mob scene
- Larry 和李華正在中央公園等著聽音樂．那裡舉行的戶外搖滾樂演唱會馬上就要開始．今天李華會學到兩個常用語： boss 和 mob scene。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, I can't wait for the band to start playing. The last concert I went to by this band was totally boss.
- 你說上回去聽這個樂隊演出怎麼啦？ Boss？那不是指監督工作的老闆嗎？
- Right, but when I said the concert was boss, I meant it was really great.
- 啊？ Boss 在這裡是形容演唱會很棒的意思，可是， Boss 跟很棒有什麼關係呀？
- You know how a boss is above his employees and tells them what to do? Something that is boss is above the others. And better than the rest.
- 哦～，因為老闆，也就是 boss 比其他人啊更能幹，指揮手下的人幹活兒，所以啊就是棒！那我很喜歡星際大戰電影裡的特效，我能不能說 they were boss？
- The special effects in the new Star Wars movie were boss. They were much better than in the older Star Wars movies.
- 對，我同意．新的星際大戰裡面啊特效要比以前的星際大戰更棒． Larry，你有沒有看到 Rick 買的新車呀？
- Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Fire engine red with leather seats and a sunroof. That is definitely one boss car.
- 哼～，我可不喜歡那大紅顏色，像救火車．可是啊皮座墊和天窗我倒很喜歡喔． Larry，要是我認為一樣東西不太棒，那該怎麼說呀？
- If you don't think something is that great, you can say something is not so boss.
- 要是今天的演出很棒，我就可以說： They are boss! 但是上個星期的表演不怎麼樣，所以就是： They weren't so boss.
- You are right, in fact. Last week's act wasn't so boss. I was there.
- 嘿！你看！樂團出來了．哇！他們的服裝好棒喔！ So boss!
- And wait until you hear the lead guitarist start playing. I think you'll find he is pretty boss, too.
- 你說那吉他手也很棒呀？哎，那他肯定很有名，對不對？噓！哎，要開場了．別說話了！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- What a mob scene! The concert is over and now there are people everywhere.
- 就是啊，演唱會一結束，大家都搶著要回家，你瞧這人群啊！疑？Larry，什麼是 mob scene？
- Well, a mob scene, is a big group of people, who are acting in a random and disorderly way.
- 哦～， mob scene 就是指亂糟糟的一大群人．上個星期啊我去看星際大戰電影的首映，買票的人排著隊打鬧說笑，有票的人在門口等著開場． That was a real mob scene.
- Yes, the theaters were mobbed for the opening of Star Wars. I am going to wait a few weeks to see it when the lines will be shorter.
- 早知道啊首映的時候會那麼多人，我也該像你這樣，等幾個星期再去看看，就不必排那麼長的隊了． Larry，我們現在該往哪兒走呀？我們得脫離這個 mob scene 才行啊，不然我們什麼時候才能到家呀！
- Well, the subway will probably also be mobbed. It will be just as much of a mob scene on the train as it is here.
- 啊？連地鐵也會像這裡一樣擠滿人啊？那我們別去和人擠了．我們先走一段路吧！
- Okay, Li Hua, I've got an idea about how to get away from this mob. Follow me. I know a shortcut!
- 喲，你還知道小路呢．你早說嘛！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李華學到了兩個常用語．第一個是： boss，這是「很棒、很好」的意思．另一個常用語是： mob scene，這是指「人很多的場面」。
