Larry和李华正在乘公共汽车去公园去溜冰。今天李华会学到两个常用语:to level with someone和clueless.
(Local traffic)
LL: I have to level with you, Li Hua. I m not very fond of ice-skating. I haven t done it in years.
LH: To "level with me?" Level是水平的意思。你是说你溜冰的水平和我不一样啊?哎!你又没看过我溜冰,怎么知道我的程度呢?
LL: No, "to level with someone" is to be direct and honest.
LH: 噢,to level with someone, 就是向人诚实坦白的意思。嘿!那我也得和你老实说,我根本不太会溜冰。我只是想去看看历史课的同学Jake。他说他今天会去公园溜冰,可是我又不想一个人去,所以.....
LL: Now, the truth comes out! Come on, level with me, do you have a crush on Jake?
