夏天的时候，Larry 和李华开车去海边玩。李华会学到两个常用语：jazzed
和to catch some waves.

    LL： Li Hua ， I am really jazzed about this trip to the beach.

    LH： Jazz 不是爵士乐吗？我们去海边跟爵士乐有什么关系呢？

    LL： You are right， but by Jazzed I mean to be really excited. I
am really looking forward to spending some time at the beach today.

    LH：我知道了，Jazzed的意思是很兴奋。其实我也挺高兴的，不过我想知道
有什么事情让你这么兴奋呢？

    LL： There are three reasons. First ， I am really jazzed to not be
working ！ I have been working really hard on a project for my boss ，
and it is really nice to have some time off.

    LH：对，你为你老板的那个项目花了一个月的时间，现在完成了当然要放松
一下喽。不用上班，这个理由很成立，另外两个理由呢？

    LL： Second ， I am very jazzed about trying out my new surf board
and riding some waves.

    LH：你想试试你新买的冲浪板。那也合理，你那新的冲浪板真是很漂亮。要
我是你，I would be very jazzed， too. 不过呢，我只想躲在阳伞下面看书。

    LL： I don't see how you can get jazzed about reading a book， Li
Hua.

    LH： Oh ， Larry，你喜欢冲浪，我喜欢看书。各人的兴趣不同嘛。

    LL： I guess that is what makes the world interesting ！ I get really
jazzed about playing Frisbee at the beach ， too.

    LH：在沙滩上扔飞盘，那有什么好玩的？那是小孩玩的东西。

    LL： Remember what you said ， Li Hua ？ Different people get jazzed
about different things.

    LH：没错，没错，我是说过。

    LL： Remember ， the guy in our English class really get jazzed about
flying kites. We should have asked him to come to the beach with us today.

    LH：对了，忘了邀请他一起来了。你不是说有三个理由让你兴奋吗？

    LL： Yes， the third reason is that I am jazzed to be spending some
time with one of my favorite friends. And that would be you ， Li Hua.

    LH：第三个理由是跟像我这样的好朋友一起出游让你感到兴奋。Larry ，你
的嘴可真甜呐。不过，我还是谢谢你的好意。

    ******

    LL： Well ， now that I've put on some sun screen ， Li Hua ， I am
going to go catch some waves.

    LH： Catch some waves ？你能抓到海浪吗？

    LL： Ha ， ha. I don't mean with my arms. To catch some waves- WAVES，
means to ride some waves on your surfboard.

    LH： Oh ，我明白了，你是要去冲浪。不过，今天的浪不太，即使是用新的
冲浪板也不好冲哟。

    LL： You are right， Li Hua. It isn't the best day to catch waves.
The waves aren't very big ， but I can at least try out my new surfboard
by catching some little waves.

    LH：不管是大浪还是小浪，反正有浪就行了。Go and catch your waves.我
在这里看我的书。

    LL： Oh ， come on Li Hua ， why don't you come out and catch some
waves with me ？

    LH：我不知道怎么冲浪，我从来没有试过。

    LL： Catching waves isn't hard， Li Hua. I can show you how.

    LH： Okay ，那我去试试。不过，你知道我有点紧张。

    LL： Oh ， it will be fine， Li Hua. Let's go catch some waves.

    （Ocean/splashing sounds）

    LH：我们已经在水里了，那怎么冲浪呢？

    LL： First， you hold on to the surfboard like this. And then you
wait for a wave to catch. When a big wave comes along ， you stand up
on the surfboard and ride it.

    LH：我来试试。把冲浪板拿好，然后海浪一来，就站到冲浪板上。噢，我的
天啊，大浪来了！

    LL： Okay ， Li Hua ， try to stand up. Good job， you caught your
first wave！

    LH： Wheeeee，我第一次冲浪成功了！

    LL： See， I told you catching some waves isn't hard.

    LH：冲浪是不难。 Larry，我们再来一次吧。

    今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是jazzed，意思是令人兴奋，还有一个是
catch some waves，意思是海上冲浪。
