第十叁部 第九课: bad vibe , wake up call
- Larry 和李华在教室里等 Jones 教授把改完的考卷发下来。今天李华会学到两个常用语： bad vibe 和 wake up call。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Li Hua, I have a really bad vibe about this test.
- 你觉得你考的怎麼样？ Bad vibe？那是什麼意思啊？
- A vibe is a feeling. Since I don't think I did very well on this test, I have a bad vibe about the grade I am going to get.
- 哦～，vibe 就是一种感觉，你觉得你这一次的考试考得不好，所以有种不祥之兆，也就是你所说的 bad vibe。
- (Gets test back) Ooh. You see, my bad vibe was right. I got a C.
- 嗨，C 啊不算太糟啦，这门课很困难的，而且琼斯教授批分数一贯都很严。
- Yeah, I actually had a bad vibe about this course before the class ever started. Some of my friends told me it was difficult and I'd have to work hard.
- 其实啊我在上这门课以前也有点担心，因為上过这课的人都说这很难，要下很多功夫。
- So, what did you get?
- 嗯，我得到了 A。这次考试啊算是不错，可是，我很担心下个星期要交的那份报告。 I have a bad vibe about that paper.
- Why do you have a bad vibe about the paper?
- 因為我觉得用英文写报告是最难的。英文不是我的母语，每次写完英文报告啊，我总觉得好像有很多不通顺的地方耶。
- Li Hua, you can always ask me or another student to look over your paper before your turn it in. I am sure you'll do fine. About that, I have a good vibe.
- 真的啊？ Larry，你愿意修改我的报告？喔～你真好，谢谢你。
- Uh-oh. I have a bad vibe about the look Professor Jones is giving us right now.
- 喔～，对，嘘，琼斯教授在看我们了，别说了，下课后再聊吧。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- (After class) You know, Li Hua, getting a C on the test in Professor Jones' class was a real wake-up call.
- 你说拿了 C 是 wake-up call，疑？这个 wake-up call 不是叫人起床吗？难道你在上课的时候睡觉啊？
- No, no, a wake-up call is not like an alarm clock that wakes you up from your sleep. What I meant was the grade I got woke me up to the fact that I have to work harder for this class.
- 哦～， wake-up call 在这裡不是指闹鐘叫人起床，而是指一个警告。所以你是说，这次考试成绩不好就提醒你要在这节课上加把劲，要更用功！
- Yeah! Professor Jones gave me a wake-up call in the form of a bad grade. Now that class is over, I'm going to go home and study. Hey! Li Hua! Look out for that bike!
- 哎哟！那个骑自行车的人差点儿就撞上我了。
- Yeah, that was a wake-up call for us to be more careful about walking across campus.
- 说的也是喔，这就提醒了我们，在校园里走路啊也得小心注意，不然很可能会受伤的。
- We should be more careful. Say, Li Hua, where are you going now?
- 嗯～，我想利用下午没有课的时间，到体育馆的健身房去锻鍊锻鍊。
- Why the sudden interest in physical fitness? You don't usually go to the gym, do you?
- 嗨，别说了，你也知道我这个人从不上健身房的。还不是上回健康检查的时候，医生说我体重有点超重，所以囉，that was a wake-up call.
- You don't look overweight to me.
- Larry，你心地真好，还安慰我看起来不胖。其实啊我倒不是那麼在意外表看起来胖不胖，主要啊还是担心肥胖会影响健康吧！
- And maybe it was a wake-up call that you and I shouldn't go out to have ice cream so often.
- 啊？什麼？你要我放弃吃冰淇淋？我愿意每天上健身房，但是我一定得吃冰淇淋！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是： bad vibe，就是不好的感觉、不详的预感。另一个常用语是： wake-up call，这是指一个提醒或者是警告。
