大家都在關(guān)注:19年7月國(guó)際學(xué)校開(kāi)放日全國(guó)優(yōu)質(zhì)國(guó)際高中國(guó)際初中國(guó)際小學(xué)推薦
今天Michael和Li Hua在一起做功課。Li Hua會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ):bail和call it quits.
M: Agghh! Come on, Li Hua. We've been studying for five hours. I'm ready to bail!
L: 是啊,我們做了5個(gè)小時(shí)的功課,我也想干點(diǎn)兒別的了。可是Michael, 你說(shuō)你準(zhǔn)備做什么?You're ready to bail.bail, 那是一種游戲嗎?
M: No, silly. I said "I'm ready to bail". "To bail" as in "to leave". L: 噢,To bail在這里是“離開(kāi)”的意思。可是明天就要考試了,我們還沒(méi)復(fù)習(xí)完呢!
M: Please, Li Hua. I already know the material. I'm ready for tomorrow's test. Let's bail and get something to eat!
L: 好吧,我肚子也餓了,Let's bail and get something to eat! Michael, 你對(duì)明天的考試這么有把握,你是不是昨天晚上就開(kāi)始復(fù)習(xí)啦?
M: Not really. I went to a movie with some friends last night. After the movie, they wanted to go to a dance club, but I bailed on them and went home to get some sleep. L: 噢,你昨天晚上和朋友去看電影,然后你的朋友們?nèi)ヌ瑁墒莥ou bailed on them, 意思就是你沒(méi)和他們一起去,對(duì)不對(duì)?
M: That's right. I bailed on my friends and went home. L: 噢,那Michael, 除了可以說(shuō)bail on someone, 還可不可以說(shuō)bail on something呢?
M: Of course! For instance, last week I had a dentist appointment, so I had to bail on history class. L: 對(duì)啊,上星期,你因?yàn)橐タ囱溃詻](méi)有上歷史課,You bailed on history class.
M: Come on, Li Hua. I'm starving. Let's bail and get something to eat!
(Door open and the two leave……)
M: (in restaurant) By the way, Li Hua, I heard that Jack isn't going to be in school next term. Is he really calling it quits?
L: 什么?Jack下學(xué)期就不來(lái)上學(xué)啦?你說(shuō)他calling it quits, quit 不就是“放棄”的意思嗎?你是說(shuō)Jack下學(xué)期就要退學(xué)啦?
M: Ya, that's right. "To call it quits" means to quit doing something. I heard that Jack is calling it quits. L: 噢,to call it quits意思就是“停止做某件事”,可是,我聽(tīng)說(shuō)Jack只不過(guò)是想先打半年工,多掙點(diǎn)錢,明年他還會(huì)回來(lái)繼續(xù)上學(xué),He's not really calling it quits.
M: That's good to hear. L: Michael, 那這個(gè)to call it quits還可以用在別的地方嗎?
M: Sometimes "to call it quits" means to break up a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend. L: 噢,原來(lái)to call it quits還可以用來(lái)表示男女朋友分手,這就讓我想到啦,不久前好萊塢電影明星Ben Afleck和Jennifer Lopez, 他們倆本來(lái)都訂婚了,可是后來(lái)又推遲了婚禮,大家就覺(jué)得很奇怪啊:Are Ben and J-Lo calling it quits?
M: (sighs) I can't stand those two. I hope that this time they are calling it quits for real, so I never have to hear about them again. L: 你倒希望他們倆真分手,這樣你再也不會(huì)聽(tīng)到他們的消息啦。嗨,Michael你也真是的,他們寫(xiě)他們的,你不看不就得了。你不是老說(shuō)功課太多嗎?對(duì)了,你還說(shuō)選修的阿拉伯語(yǔ)課太難 - Are you going to call it quits?
M: No, I'm not going to call it quits! I am going to finish it. L: 哇,從來(lái)沒(méi)見(jiàn)過(guò)你這么大的決心吶!我還記得你學(xué)中文的時(shí)候有好幾次都想call it quits呢!
M: Whatever.今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ),一個(gè)是bail, 表示“離開(kāi)”。另一個(gè)是call it quits, 意思是“停止做某件事”。
