[流行美语]又和大家见面了.Michael 今天和李华约好了去纽约中国城吃饭.李
华刚刚到Michael 的住处.他们在对话中会用到 hang out 和hard headed 这两个常
用语.
L:嗨,Michael,走吧!
M:I'm coming. Hey, come on in for a minute and sit down.
L:还要叫我进来坐会儿呀!不行,快走,我饿了,我要去吃中国饭.
M:I'm not ready yet. Just hang out for a minute.
L:嗨,你真是的,还有什么事非要现在干呐!你要我给你挂什么?一张画?
M:No, no, no!! Just wait for a few minutes.
L:要我等几分钟,这跟挂东西有什么关系呀?
M:No, you don't understand. Hang out means to pass time while you're waiting.
L:噢,hang out 是等一会儿的意思?
M:Yes, but it can also mean to spend time with your friends. For example, you and I
hang out a lot.
L:跟朋友一起玩也能说是hang out,对,我们是经常在一起活动.
M:Ok. So hang out while I go get ready.
L:还要我等呀!行,不过下次不管上那儿去,要是我让你等一会儿,你可别感
到奇怪哟.
M:Ha, ha. Ok, I 'm ready.
L:那就走吧!你喜欢中国城哪个饭馆呐?
M:Let's go to Good Fortune. Do you mind if some of my other friends hang out with
us?
L:好,新世界饭馆挺好.你说你还有几个朋友也要跟我们一起吃饭呀?当然没
关系了,我一直认为玩的时候人多一些好.
(Michael 和李华开车到了中国城)
L:Michael,你知道该往哪儿走吗?我想我们还是问一下路吧,你好象是迷路了.
M:I'm not lost. I think I know where we are.
L:还硬说你没有迷路呢!Michael, 别这么顽固嘛!问一下路有怎么啦?你真是
讨厌.
M:Are you calling me hard headed?
L:我是说你顽固,跟你的头硬不硬没有关系.
M:Hard headed does mean stubbon, they have the same meaning. It's an expression
people use sometimes.
L: 我说呢,我刚才还真不懂什么头硬不硬.原来hard headed 就是顽固.有人用
hard headed 这个说法?我怎么没听说过?不过,你要是问了路我就不会说你顽固
了.美国男人呐,都一样,都很顽固.他们硬着头皮,就是不肯问路.
M:I know where we are. We're really close to the restaurant.
L:你还不认为你迷路,你知道离新世界饭馆很近了.好吧,那我就听你的吧.
对了,Michael, 我跟我弟弟说什么他都不听,非常顽固,我能说是 hard headed
吗?
M:Yeah, I remember meeting him, he is certainly hard headed.
L:对,你见过他.上回在公园里,他非要去跟一个不认识的女孩搭讪,我们叫
他不要去,他不听,结果给人瞪了一眼,落个没趣.这真可以说是hard headed 吧?
M:Sure. But remember, hard headed is only an adjetive to describe people.
L:噢,hard headed 只能形容人呀?我看,用hard headed 来形容你是再合适不过
了.走了那么多路,饭馆在哪里呐?
M:I think it's just down this block.
L:你还认为在这条街上.Michael, 你就在这儿等等吧,我去问路.你啊,真是
hard headed, 顽固不化.
今天Michael 和李华在谈话中用了两个常用语,一个是:hang out,意思是等一等,
或跟朋友一起玩;另一个常用语是:hard headed,意思是:顽固,固执.谢谢大家
和我们一起学习[流行美语],下次节目再见.
