今天Larry到Li Hua的宿舍去串门,Li Hua会学到两个常用语:hang in there和to be stressed out。
Larry: Li Hua, you look exhausted. Is everything OK?
Li Hua: 哎哟, Larry, 我得在星期五以前赶出两篇论文,星期五还有一门课要大考,你说我能不累吗?I AM exhausted!
Larry: Hang in there, Li Hua! After Friday it will be all over, and then you can relax.
Li Hua: Hang in there? 那是什么意思呀?
Larry: Hang in there. Hang in there just means "to keep enduring" or "to persist through a difficult situation."
Li Hua: 噢,hang in there的意思就是,在困难的情况下再忍一忍,或者坚持下去。Hang in there - Hmm...这个说法很有意思。不过hang这个词本意不是“悬挂”吗?
