Larry 在告訴李華關(guān)于他們的一個同學(xué)最近和女朋友鬧別扭的事。今天李華
會學(xué)到兩個常用語:high maintenance和dating 101.
LL: You know , Li Hua , I feel bad for Tom. His girlfriend is so
high maintenance. LH:什么?High maintenance不就是指一些需要精心維護的
機器嗎?
LL: Exactly. And in this case, Rachel is very complicated , and
Tom needs to put a lot of efforts into maintaining his relationship with
her. LH :嗨,把high maintenance這個說法用在人的身上!不過也有道理,要
是一個人需要high maintenance,那不就是很難伺候嘛!我和Rachel不熟,但是
她看起來好象是個很好的人!為什么你認(rèn)為她很難伺候呢?
LL: Well , she gets upset if Tom doesn't call her every day. If
he takes her out to eat , it has to be to a very expensive restaurant
or she'll complain. It is hard for Tom to keep her happy. LH:真沒想到
她那么難伺候。不每天給她打電話,不去高級餐館就要生氣。聽起來倒是和我的
朋友美玲很像。美玲也是個需要high maintenance的人。
LL: Yeah , Meiling is a high maintenance friend. I know she doesn't
like it when you spend time with me and not her. LH :就是。她經(jīng)常抱怨
我花太多時間和你一起。我得經(jīng)常向她解釋我是在跟你學(xué)英語,還得跟她道歉。
對了,Larry ,你覺得我會不會像他們一樣很難伺候?
LL: Of course not, Li Hua , you are a very relaxed and easy-goingperson.
In fact , as friends go, you are pretty low maintenance. LH : Low maintenance,
你是說,和我交朋友,你不需要為了避免我生氣而費盡心思。那就好。我可不想
變成朋友心目中很難搞的人呢。
******
LL: Well , Li Hua , I just talked to Tom. Rachel just broke up
with him. It is back to Dating 101 for Tom. LH: Tom和Rachel分手啦?!
你說Tom 需要上約會101 的課?我怎么沒聽說學(xué)校有開這門課呢?
LL: Of course the university doesn't offer such a class! But it
does offer History 101, English 101, and Chinese 101. These are all
basic classes. LH :噢,像歷史101 ,英語101 都是指一些基本課程,所以dating
101 就是指學(xué)習(xí)有關(guān)約會的一切,就好像他到學(xué)校里修一門基礎(chǔ)課學(xué)習(xí)怎樣約會。
LL: Right. And Tom isn't the only one who needs to take Dating 101.
I haven't had a date in a long time. LH :嘿!Larry ,說到約會,你還記
得我很喜歡的那個男孩,上星期我和他出去一次。我們?nèi)ヒ患覛夥詹诲e的餐廳,
可是他的話實在不多。
LL: Sounds like he needs to enrollin Conversation 101. He should
at least be able to keep a conversation going through dinner. LH:沒錯,
看來他的確需要修一門對話101 的課程。不過他人是真的很好,就是非常害羞。
LL: Then maybe what he needs is Confidence-Building 101, instead.
LH: Larry,你真有意思,居然說他該上一門建立自信的基礎(chǔ)課,Confidence-Building101!
LL: And as for you Li Hua, you could use a little Relaxation 101.
You are always so worried about your grades. LH :沒錯,我是很擔(dān)心學(xué)習(xí)
成績,所以你建議我修一門學(xué)會放松的基礎(chǔ)課,Relaxation 101. 你呀!我看你
應(yīng)該修一門有關(guān)整理家務(wù)的101 課,看你的房間亂得那樣。
LL: Well , as you probably guessed, I failed Housekeeping 101.
Dating 101 is a lot more fun.
今天李華學(xué)到兩個常用語。一個是high maintenance. 這是形容一個人需要
別人小心謹(jǐn)慎來對待,否則就會不高興,也就是很難伺候的意思。另一個常用語
是dating101.這是指有關(guān)約會的最基本知識。
