李华和Larry在看大学美式足球赛。今天李华会学到两个常用语:hardcore和to take it out on someone.
(Football crowd noise)
LH: 噢!今天真够冷的。Larry,你看看那边那几个家伙,这么冷的天,还打赤膊,身上涂满了漆。你说,他们这不是疯了吗?
LL: (Yelling) Come on, go, go, go! First down! Yeah! What s that Li Hua? No, those guys aren t crazy. They re hardcore football fans. They want to show how devoted they are to their team.
LH: 你说他们是什么? Hardcore?
LL: I said that they re hardcore fans. Hardcore means that they are very serious, and uncompromising. They are extremely devoted fans.
LH: 噢!我懂了,hardcore就是指非常认真,非常投入的球迷。Larry, 这个hardcore是不是只能用来形容球迷呢?
LL: No, hardcore can refer to people who are really devoted to a sport, hobby, or belief of some kind.
LH: 噢,hardcore 还可以指那些对某种运动、嗜好或信仰狂热的人!
LL: For instance, my cousin John is a hardcore mountain climber. He s going to go to Alaska in the middle of winter just to climb a mountain for fun!
