Michael这个美国学生由于各方面的压力太大而情绪不太好。今天他想去找李华一起出去放松放松。现在他正在敲李华的门。Michael会教李华两个常用语：to play hooky和to snap。- @/ S: b0 f& B( @7 R: a K

L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？" s' _& [, S# l2 F& J6 ^! e4 o8 S

L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。0 y( E5 T! R5 H! u

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。1 I* G3 `* _) x" i, n
