A: 给你提包啊？No way. 还是让我们一起看看李华和 Larry 准备去哪里玩吧。 Popular American: make up your mind // live within your means 现在播送「流行美语」。Larry 在和李华商量去什么地 方渡假，他们会用到两个常用语：make up your mind 和live within your means. Larry: Lihua, do you want to go to Toronto? I did a little research and found some really cool tours and LH: Larry, 我不是很想去多伦多，我想去个有热带风情 的地方。 Larry: Tropical? LH: 没错!你说加勒比海怎么样？ Larry: The Caribbean? Wow, that is very tropical... actually, I know someone who went there last summer, let me give him a call─ LH: 不过! 我又非常想去泰国，那里的水果和美食太诱 人了! Larry: What?? Thailand? Make up your mind, Lihua! LH: Make up? 化妆？你在说什么啊？ Larry: No, not the make-up you put on your face. To make up your mind means to make a choice and stick to it. LH: 哦，to make up your mind 就是拿定主意。 Larry: Yea. For example, it often takes you a long time to make up your mind when it comes to what to wear when we go out. LH: 呵呵，这倒是。出门前我总是不能决定穿哪身衣 服。 Larry: And what about your friend at school that couldnt decide which class she wanted to take? LH: 没错。那个同学特别爱学习，什么课都想选，可 是一学期的时间只有那么多，选修课的数量是有限的。 I
