Michael和李华已经从华盛顿返回纽约。今天是星期六,他们一起到纽约的 Meadowlands去看冰球。Michael和李华这两个大学生,一个讲英文,一个讲中文,旁边的人听起来很奇怪,可是他们自己已经习惯了这种方式。今天他们在谈话中会用两个常用语:keep cool和screw up。1 ?9 a5 H6 L8 ^6 a0 d- B1 a: Q

+ g' L, Q4 |9 j+ e" `% cL:Michael,谢谢你带我到Meadowlands来看冰球,Meadowlands可是有名的地方呐!而且我从来还没有看过冰球呢!

L:是啊,他们已经开始推推攘攘,真的打起来了。人们都说冰球比赛有时会很粗暴,但是才开始五分钟就打架,这可是不多见。

5 O* ^& R% N+ y, C6 _; z3 l+ Z2 DM:Li Hua, that's not what I meant. Keep cool means to calm down。Keep, means to hold and cool, meaning cold.
  c3 Y8 H4 q; t* y# C, z
3 V) Q' t  {) `) S% |L: 噢,keep cool就是要冷静一点, 你是说这些球员不要火气那么大,需要保持冷静。对,他们要是老打架,最好的球员就会被禁止打球的。- u# l2 g3 n0 p  W* \

" p9 u4 ?& v8 K8 xM:Yeah. Another example, remember last week when you got into an argument with the professor over your mid-term grade?

L:是不是只能说打球时,或参加运动比赛时犯了错误?  n, X0 I: W# X+ g

7 ?0 x* L+ k5 QM:No, it can be used to describe a lot of things. For example, I screw up on tests all the time.
1 d$ W  ^& b3 {+ e3 \. P, y: X- [3 f
L:噢,你考试老考糟也能用screw up来表示呀!这么说,"screw up" 可以用的范围很广。 要是说一个人工作没有做好呢?

9 b3 p: k% X6 @5 W6 ^; q李华今天从Michael那儿学到了两个常用语,一个是:keep cool,意思是:冷静一些,别太激动;另一个常用语是:screw up, 意思是把事情弄糟了。今天的[流行美语]就学习到这里,我们下次再会。* Y& r% g' c, [5 I
