Larry 在準(zhǔn)備搬家，李華特別去Larry 家?guī)退帐把b箱。今天李華會學(xué)到兩個常用語: to toss something和digs.

LL: Hey, Li Hua, what do you think of this sweater? It's got several holes. Should I toss it?

LH: 你要把這件毛衣扔給我裝箱？你自己說有好幾個洞了，還留它干嘛？扔了算啦！

LL: That's what I meant. I didn't mean to toss the sweater to you. I mean to throw it out. To toss something means to throw something out.

LH: 噢，原來to toss it就是把東西扔了的意思。這件毛衣真的該丟了。其實(shí)還有一些衣服你也該丟掉了。

LL: Hey, I didn't ask your opinion of my wardrobe. I just wanted to know if I should toss that one particular sweater.

LH: 哎！我也只是幫你忙啊。如果你不要我?guī)兔?，那就算嘍！我才不管你衣柜里哪些衣服該丟，哪些不該丟呢！

LL: Okay, since you're so eager to help: Should I toss this pair of shoes, too? They're really old and gross.

LH: 這還要問??？你這雙鞋又舊又臟的，當(dāng)然該丟掉嘍！還有你那件黃的T恤衫也可以扔了。

LL: No, I'm going to use that as a rag for cleaning my new apartment. I hate to toss something that I can still find a use for.

LH: 你想拿那件破衣服來當(dāng)抹布，廢物利用，這倒是不錯。Hey，Larry, 冰箱里的這些蘋果都爛了，可以扔掉了嗎？

LL: Yes, I'm afraid that there is quite a bit in the refrigerator that needs to be tossed. I buy things and then I'm never home to eat them.

LH: 我也是，經(jīng)常買了東西不吃，最后又扔掉。也許下回該買些冷凍食品，不然，讓食物爛了又扔掉，好浪費(fèi)喲！

LL: You're right. It's really terrible to toss out food.

LH: 好吧！我先幫你清一清冰箱里的東西，我可以把爛掉的食品全都扔掉嗎？Can I toss them out?

LL: You can toss out whatever you think needs to be tossed.

******

LL: Well, how do you like my new digs?

LH: Digs? Dig 不是“挖”的意思。你在說什么啊？這是你的新公寓耶！

LL: My new "digs" is my new apartment, Li Hua. "Digs" is slang for one's place of residence.

LH: 嗨，dig不是挖土，挖洞的挖嗎！你用的是名詞，還是多數(shù)。Digs，所以，這就是指一個人住的地方。

LL：That's right. My new digs is a bit empty now, but once I move my stuff in, this should be a nice apartment.

LH：嗯，現(xiàn)在看起來是有點(diǎn)空空蕩蕩?？墒俏覔?dān)心你東西搬進(jìn)來以后就會亂了。

LL: Hey, I'm not that messy! I like to keep my digs nice.

LH: 對，你不算太亂，但是也不見得是那種非常整潔干凈的人。

LL: Okay, you're entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to disagree with you. I happen to be very proud of the way I maintain my digs.

LH: 我當(dāng)然可以保留我的意見咯！ 你也完全可以不同意我的看法。其實(shí)，你的家只要你自己滿意就行了。說正經(jīng)的，Larry你要不要我?guī)湍悴贾眯录遥瑈our new digs？

LL: Let's just take care of moving first. Once all of my stuff is here, we can talk about decorating.

LH: 那也是，還是先搬完了再說，再不趕快搬，今晚你恐怕得在舊公寓里睡覺嘍！

今天李華學(xué)到兩個常用語。第一個是to toss something, 就是把東西扔掉的意思。另一個常用語是digs。這是指一個人的居住的地方。
