Larry和李華正在電影院外面等朋友。電影都快開(kāi)場(chǎng)了，可是朋友還沒(méi)到。Larry 決定用手機(jī)給這個(gè)朋友打電話。今天李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：juice和nuke.

LL: Darn! My cell phone is out of juice. Can I use your cell phone to call Bob and Lisa and find out why they're late?

LH: 你的手機(jī)怎么啦？Out of juice, juice是果汁。哎噢！該不是你的電話掉到果汁里啦？難怪不能用啦！

LL: No, my cell phone is out of juice. "Juice" is slang for "power". I meant that the battery in my phone is out of power.

LH: 噢，原來(lái)juice在這里是指電池里的電??！所以out of juice就是沒(méi)電的意思。既然你的手機(jī)沒(méi)電了，你可以用我的，我昨晚才充過(guò)電，so it has plenty of juice.

LL: That's fortunate. At least one of us has a functioning phone.

LH: 對(duì)了，Larry你前些天不是說(shuō)你的車有毛病嗎？現(xiàn)在怎樣啦？

LL: Yes, my car wouldn't start because the battery was out of juice. I had to go to the mechanic and get a new battery.

LH: 原來(lái)是車子里的電池也沒(méi)電啦！看來(lái)這juice還真少不了，否則什么也干不了。昨天，我的激光唱機(jī)沒(méi)有電。噢，沒(méi)有juice了，偏偏我又找不到電池，害得我什么也聽(tīng)不了。

LL: Yeah, I hate it when that happens, too. The other day, I was in the middle of typing a report on my laptop, when the battery ran out of juice. I almost lost the whole report.

LH: 哇，你可得特別小心電腦的電池呢。如果電腦沒(méi)電了，你輸入的報(bào)告還有檔案都可能會(huì)泡湯。那可就嚴(yán)重了！

LL: I know! I've had some awful experiences with that. Fortunately, now computer companies are making laptops with batteries that hold more juice.

LH: 就是，現(xiàn)在的電腦用的都是容量比較大的電池，所以打到一半沒(méi)電的情況比較少了。Larry, 你還是快點(diǎn)兒給他們打電話吧！電影很快就要開(kāi)始了。

******

LH: 我真不敢相信Lisa和Bob居然說(shuō)好了會(huì)不來(lái)。太糟糕了！

LL: Yeah, I agree. Do you still want to go out to dinner? Or do you want to nuke the pizza that's in my fridge and eat that?

LH: "Nuke a pizza"? "Nuke"是nuclear核能的簡(jiǎn)稱。哎，Larry，你準(zhǔn)備怎么吃那塊比薩餅呀？

LL: Oh, to nuke something is slang for cooking it in the microwave.

LH: 噢，你真嚇了我一跳呢！原來(lái)to nuke是把東西放進(jìn)微波爐里加熱??！所以你是說(shuō)你想把冰箱里那塊pizza熱來(lái)當(dāng)晚飯吃。

LL: Well, it would save some money. I also have some frozen dinners we could nuke. It would be faster than going to a restaurant.

LH: 嗯，吃冷凍食品是比去餐館吃飯是比較快，又便宜，可是我覺(jué)得冷凍食品不好吃耶！吃東西還是要吃新鮮的好！

LL: My cousin won't eat food that's been nuked at all. She thinks that using a microwave is unhealthy.

LH: 真的嗎？你表妹說(shuō)微波過(guò)的食物都不健康。那微波食物真的對(duì)身體有害??？

LL: I don't know and I don't want to know. Nuking food is so convenient and quick that I really don't want to give it up.

LH: 我知道，微波食物既方便又快速。有時(shí)候我實(shí)在太忙，沒(méi)時(shí)間做飯，我也是用微波爐來(lái)熱剩菜剩飯。

LL: I hardly ever have time to cook an entire meal. I'm also not a very good cook, so I would probably starve without a microwave.

LL：好多男生都不會(huì)做飯，也沒(méi)有興趣。我看沒(méi)有微波爐是要餓死的。

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。第一個(gè)是juice，也就是電源，電力的意思。 另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是nuke，是用微波爐加熱的意思。
