【節(jié)目介紹】
流行美語是一檔關(guān)于美國日常生活的常用語、短語的節(jié)目。節(jié)目內(nèi)容比較輕松，具有趣味性，講解一些常見的單詞，但是卻是一些我們不太了解的意思，穿插各種情景和人物對話，因而生動有趣。節(jié)目更新頻率為一天一期，每次大約為5分鐘，內(nèi)容比較簡單，適合初學(xué)者學(xué)習(xí)。音頻材料為中英雙語，只需要聽寫英文部分。
特別提示：文中Michael 為男聲，Li Hua為女聲，只需聽寫男生的英文對話部分即可，只聽寫Michael說的英文部分哦?。?！中文部分不需要聽寫！??！
【今日情景】
在這個節(jié)目里，我們要請大家聽Michael 和李華的對話，他們倆都是紐約大學(xué)的學(xué)生。今天是星期六，Michael和李華到購物中心去買東西。李華喜歡買衣服，Michael喜歡看電腦, 所以他們決定各自先去買東西，然后中午在吃飯的地方碰頭。今天李華會學(xué)到兩個常用語：to rip off和straight answer。
Hints:
Li Hua
"All Sales are Final"
P.S.如果文中Michael 對話出現(xiàn)的關(guān)于to rip off和straight answer的拼寫，不需要寫上去~~~
應(yīng)大家要求，【流行美語】已經(jīng)有了節(jié)目單，以后不用麻煩的去搜索了，直接訂閱節(jié)目，每天更新哦~~筒子們趕緊訂閱吧~~
Hi, Li Hua. Hey, what did you buy? I bought a pair of tennis shoes. When I bought them, I thought it was a good deal, but later I saw the same pair at another store for much less. I got ripped off. Yes, to be ripped off means to be cheated. I wanted to do that, but when I went back to the first store, I saw a sign that said "All Sales are Final". So, I guess there's nothing I can really do about it. I was just too eager to buy these shoes. If you buy something and then find out that is poor quality, you can also say you were ripped off. I guess I'm not the only one who got ripped off. Sure. That was fun, Li Hua, but I have to stop spending so much money. No, they just keep telling me that they will let me know soon. I wish the company would just give me a straight answer. Well, if you are looking for a straight answer, that means you want someone to give you a direct answer and tell you the truth. That's right. For instance, I could see that my last roommate was unhappy living in our apartment, I asked him why, but I could never get him to give me a straight answer. Yes, he did give me a straight answer after he moved out. It turned out he wanted to move in with his girlfriend. Li Hua, I think you are the only one who is bothered by that. Well, this is our stop. Do you still want to come over to my messy apartment? Give me a straight answer.
L: 嗨， Michael, 在這兒！ M: Hi, Li Hua! Hey, what did you buy? L: 今天我真高興，你看，買了那么多衣服才花了我七十五美元。那 店要關(guān)門了，東西全都半價。Michael, 你買了什么？ M: I bought a pair of tennis shoes. When I bought them, I thought it was a good deal, but later I saw the same pair at another store for much less. I got ripped off. L: 你買了一雙網(wǎng)球鞋。讓我看看。挺好的嘛！Michael, 你剛才說的 最后一句話我沒有聽懂，什么是got ripped off? 是不是上當(dāng)受騙的 意思？ M: Yes, to be ripped off means to be cheated. L: 你看，我還猜對了。Michael, 你為什么不把買的網(wǎng)球鞋去退掉， 再到便宜的店去買呢？ M: I wanted to do that, but when I went back to the first store, I saw a sign that said "All Sales are Final". So, I guess there's nothing I can really do about it. L: 喲，還不讓退貨，這可真倒霉。那你買鞋的時候怎么沒看見不讓 退貨的牌子呢？ M: I was just too eager to buy these shoes. If you buy something and then find out that it is of poor quality, you can also say you were ripped off. L: 噢，買了東西后發(fā)現(xiàn)質(zhì)量很差也可以說to be riffed off。對了，我上 個月從網(wǎng)上買了一部DVD電影，可是我在看電影的時候好幾次都卡住 了，害得我連結(jié)尾都沒看上。 M: I guess I'm not the only one who got ripped off. L: 買東西真是要小心。得了，我們?nèi)ベI飯吧！ (Michael和李華吃完飯以后) L: 時間不早了，該回去了。搭地鐵去吧！ M: Sure! That was fun, Li Hua, but I have to stop spending so much money. L: 我也不該花那么多錢。嗨，Michael, 你不是申請去一個公司實習(xí)， 他們會付你一些工資的嗎？那他們有沒有決定要雇用你啊？ M: No, they just keep telling me that they will let me know soon. I wish the company would just give me a straight answer. L: Straight answer? 是什么意思??？ M: Well, if you are looking for a straight answer, that means you want someone to give you a direct answer and tell you the truth. L: 噢，straight answer就是直接了當(dāng)，或者是實事求是的回答。 M: That's right. For instance, I could see that my last roommate was unhappy living in our apartment, I asked him why, but I could never get him to give me a straight answer. L: 為什么你以前同宿舍的人既不高興和你住在一起可是又不告訴你 真正的原因呢？后來他不是搬出去了嗎？ M: Yes, he did give me a straight answer after he moved out. It turned out he wanted to move in with his girlfriend. L: 他搬出去以后才老實地告訴你他是要搬去和女朋友一起住。 我 還以為他不喜歡你把屋子弄得亂糟糟的呢。 M: Li Hua, I think you are the only one who is bothered by that. Well, this is our stop. Do you still want to come over to my messy apartment? Give me a straight answer. L: 我才不信只有我一個人批評你把屋子弄得亂七八糟。不管你家亂 不亂，我當(dāng)然得去呀，我的書還在你哪里嘛！ 今天李華學(xué)到兩個常用語，一個是：to rip off，意思是受騙，上當(dāng)；另一個是：straight answer，意思是坦率，老實的回答。 這次[流行美語]就到此結(jié)束，我們下次再見。
