Larry和李華剛看完一部最新的恐怖片，兩人在離開(kāi)戲院時(shí)還在討論這部電影。今天李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：go overboard和guzzle。

LH: 這電影好恐怖，真嚇人噢！

LL: Actually, I think it was kind of disappointing. I think the director went a little overboard with some of the special effects.

LH: 你是在說(shuō)導(dǎo)演和電影里的特效，但是你說(shuō)的“went a little overboard"，我可不懂。那是什么意思？

LL: To go overboard with something is to go too far with it or use too much of it. I think the director relied too much on special effects.

LH: 噢，原來(lái)to go overboard就是做得過(guò)頭了，太過(guò)份了。所以你剛才是說(shuō)這部電影的導(dǎo)演用了太多特效，對(duì)嗎？

LL: Exactly. I think the writers went a little overboard, too.

LH: 啊？連編劇都做過(guò)頭了，為什么呀？

LL: Well, the writers created a main character who is a pilot, a linguist, a professor, and an expert in martial arts. That sounds a little overboard to me!

LH: 那倒也是。他們把主角寫(xiě)成是一個(gè)飛行員、語(yǔ)言學(xué)家兼教授、而且還是武術(shù)高手，是有點(diǎn)太夸張了！一個(gè)角色有這么多才能，好像有點(diǎn)不真實(shí)了。

LL: Yup. Of course, maybe I'm going a little overboard by analyzing a movie so much. After all, it is just a movie.

LH: 你覺(jué)得你對(duì)這部電影的分析太過(guò)份啦？我倒沒(méi)有這種感覺(jué)。是的，這只不過(guò)是一部電影。但是看完電影大家不是都討論分析嗎？

LL: Aaaagh?

LH: Larry，你怎么啦？

LL: My stomach hurts. I think I went overboard with the popcorn.

LH: 我剛才就告訴你別吃那么多爆米花，你看，現(xiàn)在胃開(kāi)始疼了吧？

******

LL: Aaaagh (groan).

LH: Larry，怎么啦，你的胃還在疼呀？

LL: Well, I pigged out on popcorn and then I was really thirsty, so I guzzled a large soda. Now, I'm really uncomfortable.

LH: Guzzle a large soda? 你是說(shuō)你喝了一大杯汽水，是這個(gè)意思嗎？

LL: Yeah, to guzzle something is to drink it quickly. The salt in the popcorn made me really thirsty, so I guzzled a bunch of soda.

LH: Guzzle就是很快喝下去的意思。我知道，那就是說(shuō)，你大口大口地喝了好多汽水。哼，你吃了那么多爆米花，那玩意兒又干又咸的，你口渴了就往下灌汽水。這么吃胃不疼才怪呢！

LL: I know. I know. I'm suffering the consequences of my actions.

LH: 對(duì)了，你毫無(wú)克制地吃爆米花，接著大口地喝汽水。你現(xiàn)在知道這么做的后果，吃苦頭了吧！你真是自作自受！

LL: Yes, I know. Usually I don't guzzle soda like that.

LH: 是呀，我從來(lái)沒(méi)有見(jiàn)你喝過(guò)那么多汽水 - guzzle so much soda。

LL：Yes, I've never done that before. I just suffered a temporary lapse in judgment.

LH：我看也是，你真是一時(shí)糊涂。好啦，看你這么難受，我們趕快回家，讓你吃點(diǎn)藥，看能不能好一些。

LL: That's a good idea. I have some Pepto Bismol in my medicine cabinet. That should make me feel better.

LH: Larry，你家里老有這種叫Pepto Bismol的藥呀？我知道那是胃不舒服的時(shí)候吃的藥。聽(tīng)我的勸，Larry，下回再口渴，還是喝白水好！

LL：You're right!

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。第一個(gè)是go overboard，就是指做什么事做得太過(guò)頭，太過(guò)火的意思。另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是guzzle，是指很快喝下什么飲料。
