流行美语第61课：废话，当然咯！ -(韦博分享) 流行美语第61课：废话，当然咯！ -(韦博分享) Michael和李华正在尽情享受这星期才开始的假期。今天他们去参加了一个音乐会。Michael教会李华两个常用语：24-7和duh。 L: Michael，这音乐会真不错，就是太长了。我啊快要饿死了！快去找个地方吃东西吧！ M: Alright. Theres a cafe on the corner over there, I think its open 24-7. L: 对，前面就有家咖啡馆。你说那个cafe 24-7, 24-7是什么意思呀？ M: I said its open 24-7. You know the number 24, and seven, right? 24-7 means it is open all the time. L: 我知道了！就是说一天二十四小时，一个星期七天它都开门。对不对？ M: Youve got it! In the U.S. a lot of small diners, convenience stores and gas stations are open 24-7. L: 对，我看到一些小饭馆，还有一些杂货店还有加油站，他们都是二十四小时营业的。Michael, 那24-7是不是只能用在商店哪？ M: Not at all! It can be used for anything. For instance, Li Hua, if you ever have an emergency, you can call me any time, 24-7. L: 噢，24-7可以用在任何场合。你说要是我遇到紧急情况，可以在任何时候打电话给你。Michael, 你真是太好了。不过，我想我可能会先打911。 M: Yeah, thats probably a better idea. 911 operates 24-7. Li Hua, can you use this phrase now? L: 让我想想。有了。期终考试前，我肯定很多人为了准备考试，交报告晚上开夜车，所以可以说：Many students worked 24-7 before the finals. 对不对？ M: Youre right. I was also up 24-7 studying and writing before the finals. L: 那最后一个礼拜真够呛。现在总算轻松了。 M: Thats right! Woo Hoo! Hey, after we eat, lets go dancing somewhere. L: Michael，你还没有玩够呀！ M: Now that we are on vacation, Im ready to party 24-7! L: Michael，这饭馆开门吗？ M: Well, duh, Li Hua! The lights are on and there are people inside. What do you think? L: 你说什么？ Duh? 那是骂人的意思吗？ M: No, I didnt say anything bad! All I said was duh. When someone says something that you think is very obvious, or asks you a stupid question, you can say duh. L: Duh！ 也就是说我刚才问这个饭馆有没有开门是个傻问题，所以你就说：duh！就像是我们中文里说的“废话”！Michael, 他们这里有咖啡吗？ M: Duh, Li Hua. Of course they have coffee here. Practically every restaurant in the States has coffee. L: Michael, 我只不过随便问一句，你就又来duh, duh, duh...真讨厌！ M: Oooh! Sounds like you are getting a little grumpy, Li Hua. I guess you are pretty tired, huh? L: Duh, Michael! 现在都已经半夜一点半了，你还问我累不累？我才该对你说“duh! M: Ok, Ok, calm down. Ill just get a coffee to go, and give you a ride home. It sounds like you need some sleep
