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。 C0 S2 R" X( ?+ X& e \: W2 A0 }; v- [5 q9 T% }5 T

L：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ * [6 s( e$ F! C1 R0 f. d- F/ ]' C3 x6 b5 b7 {1 J

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。" \2 f' E( V- `/ U h
