Larry和李华刚上完课,现在在一面喝咖啡,一面聊天。今天李华会学到两个常用语:off one s rocker和silent treatment.
(Bar noise)
LH: Larry, 我看你一直盯着那边那个女孩。你为什么不走过去跟她聊一聊呢?
LL: Are you kidding? She ll think I m off my rockerif I just walk over and start talking to her.
LH: 你走过去跟她讲话,她会认为你是什么?Off your rocker,那是什么意思啊?
LL: To be "off one s rocker" means to be crazy. I m afraid she ll think I m crazy, or at least really weird, if I start talking to her for no reason.
LH: 噢!所以off one s rocker就是指一个人特别怪,行为反常。嗨,你要是觉得和陌生人说话很奇怪,那你才真的是off your rocker呢!
LL: I don t know, I guess I m just a little shy about it, okay?
LH: 你这么害羞,难怪总是错失良机!算了,你要胆子那么小,我也没办法。哎,Larry,你看那边那个人才真的有点不正常。
