Larry去Florida渡假一個星期。李華現(xiàn)在正開車去飛機場接他。今天李華會學(xué)到兩個常用語：a blast 和lighten up。
LH: 嗨， Larry，我在這里！
LL: Hi, Li Hua, how are you? Thank you for coming to pick me up.
LH: 沒事！Florida怎么樣？ 玩得好嗎？
LL: Oh man, I had a blast! My friends in Miami took a few days off, just to hang out with me. We did nothing but hang out on the beach and go partying every night!
LH: 喲，你那個在Miami的朋友還請了幾天假陪你玩呀！那你肯定玩得很痛快。嗨，Larry， 你剛才說 I had a...什么來啦？
LL: I said I had a blast. "To have a blast" means to have a great time. If something was a blast, that means it was a lot of fun.
LH: Blast 不是“爆炸”的意思嗎？怎么 "to have a blast" 又成了玩得特別高興！哎喲，學(xué)英文真不容易！ 得了， Larry, 你玩得痛快，我可是花了整整一個星期幫Jones教授來準(zhǔn)備下學(xué)期的課呢！
LL: Yeah, well, I tried to get you to come along. You would''ve had a blast too.
LH: 對，你是請我一起去了，但是我不能去。我得工作，要不然下學(xué)期學(xué)費哪兒來呢？不過，昨天Rick過生日，我晚上去他的party 了...
LL: Well, too bad I didn''t come back a day sooner... his parties are always a blast.
LH: 對，每次Rick 開party，大家總是玩得很痛快。昨天晚上我早上三點才回家。我走的.時候還有好多人在那兒呢！大家都玩瘋了！
LL: Sounds like you had a blast. What about you? Li Hua, your birthday''s today. Are you going to celebrate?
LH: 嗯，生日也不是什么大事嘛。我在中國的時候從來不過生日的。
LL: Aww, whatever. I think everyone should have a blast on their birthday!
******
LH: 唉，時間過得真快，我都已經(jīng)25歲了，四分之一個世紀(jì)吶！可我還在這兒念書，還沒有一個正式的工作...
LL: What? Lighten up, Li Hua! You''re in your mid-twenties! You have plenty of time to decide what you want to do!
LH: 什么？你叫我lighten up? 你是說我要減輕體重？你在胡說什么嗎？
LL: Hey! I''m not talking about weight here. To lighten up means to relax, to be less serious.
LH: 噢，lighten up就是要放松，不要太認(rèn)真的意思！哎喲，不行，我可不能lighten up，我得考慮我的前途吶，我畢業(yè)以后干什么 - 是要回國還是呆在這兒...
LL: Like I said, Li Hua, you seriously need to lighten up. Stress makes people gain weight.
LH: 行，行，行，我想辦法放松。嗨，Larry，你好象是很輕松，沒什么壓力，那你肚子怎么會這么大呢？
LL: Watch it, Li Hua! I''m tired of you making fun of me. You know I''ve been working hard to lose weight recently...
LH: "Lighten up, Larry!" 別跟我生氣，我只是開玩笑嘛！我只不過是想舉個例子。我這么說lighten up，對不對？
LL: Yeah, you''re right. But don''t you mention my belly again!
LH: 好了，好了，你家到了! Larry，我今天不想出去玩了，咱們明天再見吧！
LL: Wait, Li Hua, can you help me with this bag?
LH: 那么兩個小包你都拿不動呀？ 得了得了，我?guī)湍隳眠@個包吧！
(Sound of many people yelling "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!")
LH: 哎喲，我的天哪！你們給我舉行生日party都沒讓我知道！啊呀，你們真是太好了！怪不得Larry 你非要我?guī)退冒M(jìn)來呢！
LL: Looks like you''ve lightened up already. See? I told you you''d have a blast tonight!
LH: 那么多人給我過生日，我當(dāng)然很高興呀！謝謝，謝謝。Thank you so much!
今天李華從Larry那兒學(xué)到兩個常用語。一個是to have a blast, 意思是“玩得很痛快”。李華學(xué)到的另一個常用語是lighten up。這是指“放松，別太認(rèn)真”。
