流行美语第195课：虚假的人 - 韦博分享 流行美语第195课：虚假的人 - 韦博分享 Larry正在申请下学期学校的资助，可是到处碰壁。李华今天会学到两个常用语：runaround和take a chill pill。 LL: I am so frustrated! The Financial Aid Office is giving me a real runaround! LH: Larry，你说资助办公室给你什么？ Runaround是什么呀？ LL: To give someone a runaround means to be deceptive and evasive to someone. They sent me from office to office，but no one can give me the right answers. LH: 噢， to give someone a runaround意思是对某人很虚假，躲躲闪闪的。你是说资助办公室打发你到这个办公室那个办公室，可就没有人给你一个明确的回答。Larry，那现在怎么办呢？ LL: They are still giving me the runaround. They say I didnt turn in my application on time, but I know I did. LH: 他们说你没有交申请表？瞎说，你肯定交了，我还跟你一起去的。你知道， Larry，每次我申请延长学生签证，他们也是把我象皮球那样踢来踢去，gave me a runaround。 LL: Thats too bad. Since being given the runaround is no fun, what do you say we go for ice cream somewhere? LH: 去吃冰淇淋？我不知道能不能去。我今天下午很忙， 要批改很多作文。 LL: How about after you grade your papers? LH: 批改卷子后，我还要写论文。 LL: Li Hua, are you giving me the runaround? LH: Larry，看你说的，我怎么是在找借口呢？我看你有点多疑吧。 LL: Well, you arent giving me a direct answer for one. LH: 没有明确回答你。 好吧， Larry， 我的回答是不能去，对不起我不能跟你去吃冰淇淋。这行了吧？ LL：Thats OK! Just dont give me the runaround anymore. Ive had enough of that! ****** LL: Ive been so frustrated by this whole financial aid mess. I really need to take a chill pill. LH: 吃什么药片？吃了这药片就能解决资助问题了吗？ LL: Ha-Ha, very funny. No, to take a chill pill means to calm down. I need to calm down, forget my problems and do something else. LH: 原来是这个意思。 To take a chill pill是设法平静下来。我看也是，最好的办法是平静下来，做些别的事，先把这事阁一边。Larry，Rick的车给人撞坏了，他气死了。我看他也该平静下来，take a chill pill。 LL: No, Rick did have good reason to be upset. I wouldnt have told him to take a chill pill in that case. LH: 是，他有理由生气。在这种情况下就不能叫他take a chill pill? 那你再举个例子给我听听，什么情况下可以说take a chill pill呢？ LL: Sometimes when you get so worried before a test, Li Hua, I just want to tell you to take a chill pill. LH: 每次考试前，我是特别紧张。以后你看见我考试前太紧张，你尽管对我说take a chill pill。我不会生气的。我也不知道自己为什么会那么紧张。 LL: You always study so hard. There is no need to be worried. You should j
