流行美语第302课：抵死不从，死不通融 -（韦博分享） 流行美语第302课：抵死不从，死不通融 -（韦博分享） 李华陪Larry去买车。今天我们要学两个常用语：caught dead和deal breaker. LL: Thanks for helping me shop for a car, Lihua. Its always good to have advice from someone you trust when making a big purchase. LH: 别客气。你昨天上网给我看了你要买的车，我就知道你需要有人给你出谋划策。 LL: You didnt like the pictures? I think that bright purple pickup truck would have been great! LH: 那辆皮卡是不错，可你要开亮紫色的车，先得换个女朋友才行。 LL: What do you mean? You wouldnt be caught dead riding in a purple pickup truck? LH: Caught dead? 我的意思是说那辆车颜色太丑，难道安全也有问题吗？ LL: Actually, no. When you say you wouldnt be caught dead doing something, it means that you would never do it, because it would be really embarrassing if someone saw you.

LH: 言归正传，你不如买辆双人自行车，咱俩可以一起骑？ LL: Are you kidding? Two-person bikes are so lame. I wouldnt be caught dead riding one of those. LH: 你什么时候变得这么没情趣了！不想唱卡拉OK，不想骑自行车...you know, normally I wouldnt be caught dead with such a boring guy. 我一般情况下是绝不会跟这么乏味的男孩子交往的。 LL: Are you kidding? Nobody who has a purple pickup truck can be considered boring. ****** LH: Larry, 你觉得这辆车怎么样，又省油，又安全。 LL: Yeah, but just look at how boring it is. Its plain white, and its not a convertible. LH: 买车可是件大事，你不能光看车的外表，还得考虑实用性。 LL: Yeah, but look. It doesnt even have a sunroof. I would still buy it even though its not bright purple, but Im afraid the sunroof is a deal breaker. LH: 什么是deal breaker? LL: A deal breaker is a critical condition that must be met in
