Larry 剛在銀行開了一個帳戶。他一走出銀行的大門就遇到了李華。今天李
華會學到兩個常用語:freebie 和megabucks.
LL: Hi there , Li Hua ! You should open a savings account today.
Look at the freebie I got at the bank.
LH: Freebie?你手里拿的好像是個計算機。
LL: You are right, Li Hua. It is a calculator and , you know ,
it is free. And that is what makes it a freebie !
LH: Free ?你說,只要開個帳戶就能得到一個免費的計算機。所以免費送
的東西就是freebie.真的是送給你的嗎?
LL: Yes, it was a special promotion. I love getting freebies. And
a calculator is a good freebie.
LH:原來是銀行在開展特別的推銷活動,給開帳戶的人送一個禮物。計算機
是有用的東西。不過,凡是免費的我也都喜歡。
LL: Banks often give away candy as freebie or a pen with the bank
logo. But a calculator is something I will really use. That makes it a
good freebie.
LH:是啊,送給我一支筆,那也有用。送我糖我才不要呢!在所有的免費禮
品中我最喜歡香水了。
LL: It is a good way to try expensive perfumes before spending the
money. I guess.
LH:對呀!買一瓶香水很貴。送我一瓶小小的香水,要是喜歡我下回可以去
買,不喜歡就算。這樣就不會浪費錢了。Larry ,還有哪里可以得到免費商品啊 ?
LL: Well , book stores often give away freebie bookmarks. But ,
I think my favorite freebie is food !
LH:書店給的書簽沒有什么吸引力。我也喜歡超市里為了推銷而提供的那些
免費食品,什么面包呀,蛋糕呀,肚子餓的時候可好啦!
LL: Speaking of freebie food , here is a grocery store across the
street. Let's go in and see if they have any freebies.
LH:對馬路的超市有免費食品呀?那還等什么呀?快走呀!
(Sound of door opening , grocery store sounds )
LL: Let's go to the freezer compartments. There is usually a lady
giving out freebie samples of pizza.
LH:我看見了,后面是有一個女服務員在送比薩餅呢。Larry ,你可真行呀!
哪里有freebie 你都知道。

LL: Say, Li Hua , would you like to win megabucks?
LH: Megabucks? Mega 意思是大, buck 是指美元。如果我沒有猜錯的話,
megabucks 的意思是很多錢。
LL: Wow, Li Hua. Your English is getting really good. That's right,
megabucks is a lot of money.
LH: Larry,我當然想贏megabucks.誰不想發財呢?問題是怎么才能得到那
么多錢呢?
LL: Well , we can buy a lottery ticket at the front of the grocery
store. Who knows, we may win megabucks.
LH:你要到前面去買一張彩票呀?我才不信我們會贏megabucks 呢!不過,
Larry ,要是我們贏了,那會有多少錢呀?
LL: If all six of the numbers on our ticket match the winning numbers,
we will win 5 million dollars.
LH:要真能贏五百萬,那該多好呀!我們就不用再打工了。可是,要六個數
字全和彩票一樣才能贏,那中彩的機率不會很高吧?
LL: It really isn't. We would have to spend megabucks buying lottery
tickets to even have a small chance of winning.
LH:我就知道嘛,這種機會是很小的。即便花好多錢去買好多彩票,我們也
不見得會贏。與其這么毫無希望地等著中彩票還不如我們自己去賺大錢呢。
LL: You mean go to work? I don't know about you , Li Hua , but
I'm not being paid megabucks.
LH:我知道你工資不高,我的工資也很低啊。不過如果我們努力工作的話,
說不定哪一天我們會發財的。
LL: You mean like Bill Gates of Microsoft? He's certainly made megabucks.
LH:是啊,所以微軟的Bill Gates把很多錢都捐給了慈善事業。
LL: I'm not sure I'll be making megabucks—— so for now I'll just
keep living off of freebies in the grocery store. Want some more pizza?
今天李華學到了兩個常用語。一個是freebie ,意思是免費送的東西。還有
一個是megabucks ,意思是很多錢。
