第十二部 第六課: crummy , sack out
- Larry 和李華正在吃午飯． Larry 好像心情不太好．今天李華會學到兩個常用語： crummy 和 sack out。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Larry，怎麼啦？你好像不太開心哎，是什麼事惹你不高興？
- Oh, I'm just having a really crummy day. My crummy computer crashed again and my crummy air conditioner isn't working.
- 你的電腦壞啦，連你的空調也壞了．你可真倒霉哎！疑？不過，你說了好幾個 crummy，那是什麼意思啊？
- When you're talking about a situation, crummy means miserable. When you're talking about an object, crummy means cheap and poor quality.
- 哦～， crummy 形容一個情況呢，是指非常難受、很慘．那～，要是形容一個東西，就是指這個東西很次，質量很差． Larry，你好可憐喔，有沒有什麼我能幫上忙的啊？
- Not unless you can fix my crummy computer and my crummy air conditioner.
- 抱歉哎，我真希望我能幫忙，可是我既不會修電腦，也不會修空調．你有沒有通知你的房東，要他來修空調呢？
- Yeah, but he's not a very good landlord. He takes forever to fix anything, and even when he finally fixes something, he usually does a crummy job.
- 唉！這樣的房東！要就不給你修，就是修也修得不怎麼樣．這可真糟糕呢！ What a crummy situation!
- You said it. I brought my computer to the repair shop and they say that they will have to keep for a week and it will cost $100 to fix.
- 什麼！要在修理的店裡放一個星期，還要一百美元啊？
- Yes, I hope they don't do a crummy job of fixing it. Well, if they do a crummy job the first time, then they should fix it the second time for free.
- 當然囉，如果一次沒修好，他們當然得免費再幫你修啊．不過啊如果他們修理的技術太差，要是我的話，可不想再回去找他們了。
- That's understandable. Well, hopefully, they'll do a good job.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- I think part of the reason I'm having a crummy day is because I'm tired. I think I'll go home and sack out for an hour or two.
- 你累了啊？疑？你要回家做什麼？什麼是 sack out？
- To sack out is to go to sleep. I want to go home and sleep for a while.
- 哦～，原來 to sack out 就是睡覺．那不就和 hit the sack 意思一樣嘛？
- That's right. If I sack out for a couple of hours, then I should wake up in a better mood.
- 對了， Larry，你怎麼會這麼累啊？
- Well, I didn't sack out until around 2 this morning because I was trying to fix my crummy computer.
- 哇！修電腦修到零晨兩點啊，怪不得你那麼累！你啊真應該早點休息！
- I know. It was so hard to get out of bed and go to work this morning.
- 那當然囉，半夜兩點才睡覺，早上啊肯定不想起床．如果你現在回家睡覺，那你今晚還睡得著嗎？
- I'm so tired that I don't think it will be a problem. I could probably sack out now and not wake up until tomorrow morning.
- 你累到這種程度啊？現在回家睡覺，可以一覺睡到明天早上？看你這個樣子啊，你再要這樣熬夜早晚得生病的！
- I don't believe you sack out at regular hour every night. You stay late too.
- 嗯，我有必要時當然也會開夜車，但是沒有像你這麼經常啊！你得自己注意身體嘛。
- You're right! I'll try not to sack out too late.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李華學到了兩個常用語．第一個是： crummy，可以「指情況很糟糕，也可以指一樣東西質量很差」．另一個常用語是： sack out，就是「睡覺」的意思。
