李華來找Larry ， Larry正坐在沙發上發呆。今天我們要學兩個常用語：chilling
和Oh Snap.

    LH： Hey Larry，想什么呢？

    LL： Oh you know， just chilling.

    LH：是啊，房間里好象是有點冷，我去把溫度調高。

    LL： What ？ Oh ， no ， I'm not chilly ， I'm chilling.

    LH： Chilly 不就是涼颼颼的意思嗎？

    LL： Oh ， not chilly. If you're chilly ， you're cold. But if you're
chilling it means you're just hanging out.

    LH：哦，我明白了。你說的chilling就是放松、閑待著的意思。你今天不是
有很多事情要做嗎？還不趕快行動起來。

    LL： Well to be honest Li Hua ， I have a bit of headache ， so I
kind of just want to lay about and chill for a bit.

    LH：頭疼？你是不是生病了？發燒嗎？要不要去看醫生？

    LL： I don't think I'm sick. I just had a bit too much to drink at
Jimmy's birthday party last night.

    LH：哦，原來是昨天喝多了，難怪頭疼。你看上去臉色是不太好。

    LL： Tell me about it. Now I just want to lay around and chill.

    LH：昨天晚上Jimmy 的生日派對還真熱鬧。我玩得特別開心。

    LL： I had a really good time too. Though I have this nightmarish
bruise on my leg and couldn't figure out where I got it.

    LH：哈！你真的一點都不記得了？

    LL： What ？ What happened？

    LH：昨天Jimmy 的女朋友沒站穩，把椅子碰倒，撞到了你的腿上。看來你真
是喝多了。So you're just chillin' here all day？

    LL： I think so. I need to get some groceries and pick up my dry cleaning，
but I don't really feel up to it for right now. I just want to chill.

    LH：確實，昨天折騰到那么晚，我今天也不太想動。I could stand for some
chillin' too. 電視里有什么好節目嗎？

    LL： Eh ， not really. I have been watching some reruns. Ghost busters，
The Lord of the Rings part II ， Titanic……

    LH： WOW， you really are chillin'.

    LL： Yeah. I have taken chillin' to a new level.

    LH：你再這樣chill 下去，小心粘在沙發上站不起來了。

    LL： Then I would be complete ……

    ******

    兩小時過后。

    LL： The movie is terrible. I've seen paint dry with more plot development.
Oh snap ！

    LH：不簡單，這么無聊的電影咱倆居然能從頭看到尾。不過Larry ，你剛才
說的Oh Snap 是什么意思？

    LL： Oh snap！ It is an exclamation used to indicate that a witty
thing has just been said. For instance， if we go out for dinner and I
forget my wallet， you could say， "What a surprise ， I have to pay as
usual. Oh snap！"

    LH：噢，原來是感嘆詞。那我上次跟朋友約好早上一起去跑步，結果睡過了
頭，他就可以說，You sleep more than a bear in hibernation. Oh snap！

    LL： Yeah ， but you have to say it like you mean it.

    LH： OK ， let me try.這電影太沒勁了，我一直在打哈欠。Oh Snack！ wait
…… not snack. One more time. Oh Snap！

    LL： Now you're getting it.

    LH： Oh Snap. 我完全忘記了今天十一點半約好了去看牙。

    LL： Man， you have got the memory of a goldfish. Oh Snap ！

    LH：有個病人臨時取消，我才約到今天。我得趕緊走，不然要晚了。怎么樣，
要不要陪我去？

    LL： No thanks. I don't think I'm alone in wanting to avoid the dentist
office.

    LH： Oh snap！

    LL： Plus ， I have been working overtime the whole week， and I just
want to lay on the couch and chill on my day off.

    LH： You're getting to be an expert at that. Oh snap！好吧，那我自
己去，哎呀，我手機呢？

    （Cell Phone Ringing）

    LH：（Answering the phone ） Hello……Yes. I am on my way. Thanks
……（對Larry 說）這家診所真不錯，居然還會打電話來提醒我。我走了，Bye
……

    今天李華學了兩個常用語，一個是chilling，意思是放松；另一個是Oh Snap
是感嘆詞。
