LL: Hey, Li Hua can I borrow your cell?

LH: 你要借我的什么來(lái)著，cell？

LL: You know your cell. Your cell phone.

LH: 噢，原來(lái)cell就是cell phone手機(jī)的簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)。你當(dāng)然可以借用我的手機(jī)。拿去！

LL: Thanks. Having a cell is so convenient. I just need to give Rick a call and let him know I am going to be late to meet him.

LH: 手機(jī)是很方便。你看，你現(xiàn)在快要遲到了，有手機(jī)就可以打個(gè)電話(huà)告訴Rick，否則他會(huì)以為你不來(lái)了呢！

LL: (Larry makes phone call) Hey, Rick, it's Larry. I'm running a bit late. I'll meet you at the library in about half an hour. OK? See you then, Bye! Thanks, Li Hua, here's your cell back.

LH: 你半小時(shí)就能到圖書(shū)館見(jiàn)Rick? 那你就快走吧！對(duì)了，Larry，你不自己也有手機(jī)嗎？

LL: I am embarrassed to say my apartment is such a mess that I can't find my cell. I am sure it is there somewhere under a pile of clothes.

LH: 你找不到你的手機(jī)啦？沒(méi)錯(cuò)，肯定是埋在那堆衣服里了。沒(méi)問(wèn)題，今晚我給你手機(jī)打個(gè)電話(huà)，你聽(tīng)到鈴聲就知道手機(jī)在哪里了。

LL: Right, when my cell starts ringing, I'll be able to find it. I'll just follow the sound of the ring. Good idea!

LH: 好，那你把你手機(jī)的號(hào)碼給我，我輸入我的手機(jī)里，今晚就可以給你打電話(huà)。

LL: Okay, it is 5-5-5-2-3-4-5. I already have your cell number programmed into my phone, Li Hua.

LH: Larry，我得用一下我的手機(jī)，Mary給我留了話(huà)，不知道她找我做什么？

******

LL: So, what was the call about? Give me the 411.

LH: 你在說(shuō)什么奇怪的東西啊？什么是give me the 411?

LL: You know you dial 411 to reach the information operator, right? Well, when I said to "give me the 411," I meant for you to give me information just like the operator gives you the number you are looking for.

LH: 對(duì)呀，要查電話(huà)號(hào)碼就打411，然后他們就會(huì)把你要的號(hào)碼告訴你。所以，你說(shuō)“give me the 411”，意思就是要我告訴你Mary打電話(huà)給我有什么事。Mary是問(wèn)我想不想?yún)⒓用魈焱砩显谒遗e行的讀書(shū)會(huì)。

LL: Hmmm....I don't know Mary. What is the 411 on her?

LH: 噢，你要知道有關(guān)Mary的情況？Mary她人很好，也很用功。你想不想跟我去參加明天的讀書(shū)會(huì)。這樣你就能見(jiàn)到Mary了！

LL: I'd really like to meet Mary, but I've been invited to a party tomorrow evening.

LH: 你明晚要參加一個(gè)party？什么party， give me the 411?

LL: One of the guys I work with - Fred - has been given a big promotion. He has invited several of us from work to meet him at a pub to celebrate.

LH: 噢，你的朋友被提升要請(qǐng)你們?nèi)c祝。這個(gè)party聽(tīng)起來(lái)很棒耶！Larry，我能跟你一起去嗎？

LL: Sorry, Li Hua. According to the 411 I have, this is a co-workers only event. Fred wants to express his thanks to the people that have helped him at work.

LH: 哼，只有同事才能參加啊。好吧。對(duì)了，這個(gè)Fred是個(gè)什么樣的人？What is the 411 on Fred?

LL: He's a great guy. Oh, Li Hua, I've got to go! I've got to meet Rick at the library. I'll give you more 411 on Fred some other time.

LH：你下回可別忘了告訴我有關(guān)Fred 的情況。

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。第一個(gè)是cell，也就是cell phone 手機(jī)的簡(jiǎn)稱(chēng)。另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是the 411，意思是有關(guān)某人或某件事的信息。今天的流行美語(yǔ)就播送到這里。謝謝大家收聽(tīng)，我們下次節(jié)目再見(jiàn)！
