Larry 和李华今天晚上约好和朋友碰面,可是当Larry 到李华家接她时,李
华还在梳妆打扮。今天李华会学到两个常用语:dilly-dally 和dis.
LL: Come on, Li Hua. Aren't you ready yet ?
LH:再等一下,我头发还没弄好呢。
LL: Come on, already. Stop dilly-dallying and let's go!
LH: Larry,你在说什么啊,什么是dilly-dally 啊?
LL: To dilly-dally is to waste time doing pointless things. Right
now , you're dilly-dallying with your hair when our friend is waiting
for us. LH: Dilly-dally就是拖拖拉拉。噢,你是说我们的朋友在等着,而我
在这儿浪费时间。整理头发是浪费时间?我总不能披头散发地出门吧。你不有的
时候也爱拖拖拉拉,- dilly-dally 嘛。
LL: Me ? Dilly-dally? Tell me, when have I ever dilly-dallied ?
LH:瞧你说得,好像你自己从来没有拖拖拉拉过?两天前,我们约好晚上七
点吃晚饭,结果你在家打电话跟朋友聊天,到了七点半才来!这不是Dilly-dally
吗?你忘啦?
LL: Oh , I forgot about that. Yeah, I guess I do dilly-dally sometimes.
I really felt sorry for making you wait. LH :还有一次我在家里开party ,
我让你早点来帮忙,结果客人都到齐了,你还没有到,原来你是去买牙膏,在商
店里逛得忘了时间。
LL:Hey , Li Hua , you do have a good memory. I already forgot about
it. But , I am sorry for dilly-dallying. LH:我倒不是要你道歉,你早就
道歉过了。我只是要提醒你,你也有拖拖拉拉的时候。也就是:dilly-dally ,
对不对?
LL:You're right. But at least you've learned how to use "dilly-dally".
LH:不过说真的,现在是5 点半,我们和John的约会是6 点,真的得赶快走了。
LL: Well , because of your dilly-dallying , we're really going
to have to hurry.
******
LH: Larry,你的上衣和裤子根本就不搭配,你是关着灯穿衣服还是怎么着?
LL: Don't dis my clothes ! I may not have great fashion sense ,
but at least I don't waste a lot of time dilly-dallying with my hair.
LH:哎,我是在说你的衣服,你怎么又扯上我的头发。你说我dis 你的衣服。
那是什么意思?
LL: To "dis" something is to criticize something or make a negative
comment about it. I think dis is short for "disrespect."
LH:原来dis 就是disrespect这个词的简称,disrespect就是不尊重。你说
:※Don't dis my clothes" 就是让我别批评你的衣服。我不是批评你的衣服,
只是搭配得不好么。
LL: That doesn't make me feel any better , Li Hua. It's not nice
to dis your friends or their clothes.
LH:我以为朋友之间应该坦率,我说你衣服搭配得不好,你也不高兴,还说
我这样说是不礼貌的。你不觉得你这样批评我也是不对的吗?
LL: Oh , please , you started the whole thing by dissing my clothes.
LH:好啦,好啦,我以后不说就行啦。
LL: All right, I promise not to dis you if you promise not to dis
me or my clothes, deal ?
LH: Deal.以后你不批评我,我也不再批评你穿衣服的品味。我们就这么说
定了。 Larry,已经六点了,怎么John还没有来呢?
LL: Yeah , I wonder where he is ? I hate people dilly-dallying.
LH:也许John正在哪里闲晃,根本就忘记时间了!
