李华来找Larry ， Larry正坐在沙发上发呆。今天我们要学两个常用语：chilling
和Oh Snap.

    LH： Hey Larry，想什么呢？

    LL： Oh you know， just chilling.

    LH：是啊，房间里好象是有点冷，我去把温度调高。

    LL： What ？ Oh ， no ， I'm not chilly ， I'm chilling.

    LH： Chilly 不就是凉飕飕的意思吗？

    LL： Oh ， not chilly. If you're chilly ， you're cold. But if you're
chilling it means you're just hanging out.

    LH：哦，我明白了。你说的chilling就是放松、闲待着的意思。你今天不是
有很多事情要做吗？还不赶快行动起来。

    LL： Well to be honest Li Hua ， I have a bit of headache ， so I
kind of just want to lay about and chill for a bit.

    LH：头疼？你是不是生病了？发烧吗？要不要去看医生？

    LL： I don't think I'm sick. I just had a bit too much to drink at
Jimmy's birthday party last night.

    LH：哦，原来是昨天喝多了，难怪头疼。你看上去脸色是不太好。

    LL： Tell me about it. Now I just want to lay around and chill.

    LH：昨天晚上Jimmy 的生日派对还真热闹。我玩得特别开心。

    LL： I had a really good time too. Though I have this nightmarish
bruise on my leg and couldn't figure out where I got it.

    LH：哈！你真的一点都不记得了？

    LL： What ？ What happened？

    LH：昨天Jimmy 的女朋友没站稳，把椅子碰倒，撞到了你的腿上。看来你真
是喝多了。So you're just chillin' here all day？

    LL： I think so. I need to get some groceries and pick up my dry cleaning，
but I don't really feel up to it for right now. I just want to chill.

    LH：确实，昨天折腾到那么晚，我今天也不太想动。I could stand for some
chillin' too. 电视里有什么好节目吗？

    LL： Eh ， not really. I have been watching some reruns. Ghost busters，
The Lord of the Rings part II ， Titanic……

    LH： WOW， you really are chillin'.

    LL： Yeah. I have taken chillin' to a new level.

    LH：你再这样chill 下去，小心粘在沙发上站不起来了。

    LL： Then I would be complete ……

    ******

    两小时过后。

    LL： The movie is terrible. I've seen paint dry with more plot development.
Oh snap ！

    LH：不简单，这么无聊的电影咱俩居然能从头看到尾。不过Larry ，你刚才
说的Oh Snap 是什么意思？

    LL： Oh snap！ It is an exclamation used to indicate that a witty
thing has just been said. For instance， if we go out for dinner and I
forget my wallet， you could say， "What a surprise ， I have to pay as
usual. Oh snap！"

    LH：噢，原来是感叹词。那我上次跟朋友约好早上一起去跑步，结果睡过了
头，他就可以说，You sleep more than a bear in hibernation. Oh snap！

    LL： Yeah ， but you have to say it like you mean it.

    LH： OK ， let me try.这电影太没劲了，我一直在打哈欠。Oh Snack！ wait
…… not snack. One more time. Oh Snap！

    LL： Now you're getting it.

    LH： Oh Snap. 我完全忘记了今天十一点半约好了去看牙。

    LL： Man， you have got the memory of a goldfish. Oh Snap ！

    LH：有个病人临时取消，我才约到今天。我得赶紧走，不然要晚了。怎么样，
要不要陪我去？

    LL： No thanks. I don't think I'm alone in wanting to avoid the dentist
office.

    LH： Oh snap！

    LL： Plus ， I have been working overtime the whole week， and I just
want to lay on the couch and chill on my day off.

    LH： You're getting to be an expert at that. Oh snap！好吧，那我自
己去，哎呀，我手机呢？

    （Cell Phone Ringing）

    LH：（Answering the phone ） Hello……Yes. I am on my way. Thanks
……（对Larry 说）这家诊所真不错，居然还会打电话来提醒我。我走了，Bye
……

    今天李华学了两个常用语，一个是chilling，意思是放松；另一个是Oh Snap
是感叹词。
