流行美語-第九十九課

sleep in

slacker

這是星期六，Li Hua一大早就到Larry 的宿舍叫他一塊兒去跑步。 在今天的談話中，Li Hua會學(xué)到兩個常用語：sleep in和slacker。

LL: come in!

LH:  哎呀，Larry, 你怎么還沒起床啊，都八點(diǎn)半啦！

LL:  Li Hua, it's Saturday, I want to sleep in for once.  What's so important that you have to wake me up?

LH:  哎喲，你不是說今天早上一起去跑步嗎？還問我什么事情那么重要，把你叫醒了，你真健忘。嗨，你說你想 "sleep in" 那是什么意思呀？

LL:  Ok, now pay attention. "Sleep in" is a very, very important term to me. "Sleep in" means to sleep later than usual.

LH:  噢，sleep in 意思就是“比平時起得晚”，那不就是“睡懶覺”嗎？你真懶，怪不得sleep in這個短語對你來說 "very, very important".

LL:  Hey, sleeping in once in a while does not make a person lazy.

LH:  這話也有道理，偶爾睡個懶覺也不見得就是懶惰，其實(shí)我有的時候也喜歡早上多睡會兒。

LL：Li Hua, why didn't you sleep in this morning? It's Saturday!

LH：這個星期每天我都忙得要命，根本沒時間鍛煉，所以才想早上起來跑步啊！

LL:  Sleep is important, too, Li Hua. You should have slept in and run later.

LH:  要早知道你想睡懶覺，我也不用起那么早了。 今天中午我睡個午覺。這樣就可以補(bǔ)過來早上沒有sleep in 的損失嘍！

LL ：That sounds like a good idea. Now, can I go back to sleep?

LH：跟你說了那么多話，你還想睡覺??！起來，起來，跟我一起去跑步。

LL:  All right. I guess I'm awake now anyway.  Wait for me, I'll be ready to go in a minute.

******

LL：Li Hua, why don't we stop at Starbucks and have a coffee!

LH:  Larry,  跑了那么幾分鐘，你就想到星巴克喝咖啡！你可真懶。

LL:  Come on! I'm not a slacker.  I'm just a little tired because somebody didn't let me sleep in this morning. 

LH:  對，是我把你叫醒的?？墒悄銢]睡懶覺也不至于就累成這樣??！你不是個"slacker"， 我連 "slacker" 是什么都還不知道呢！

LL:  A slacker is someone who "slacks off" or very lazy. 

LH:  噢，我想起來了，Michael以前就給我解釋過slack off這個短語，意思是“松懈、懶散”，那 slacker就是“喜歡偷懶、特別懶散的人”嘍！

LL:  You got it. For example: a student who doesn't do his homework and is always late for class is a slacker.

LH:  一個上課老遲到、老不做作業(yè)的學(xué)生就是個slacker。 哎，Larry, 我們認(rèn)識的人里，誰是slacker 啊？

LL:  You know that guy in our history class who always sleeps through class and never reads his textbook?  He is a slacker.

LH:  對對對，歷史課上那個家伙一上課就睡覺，課本也從來不看，絕對是個slacker。 哎，Larry, 昨天飯館里那個女服務(wù)員也是個slacker吧？

LL: Ah, she was such a slacker!  She was so slow that it took nearly an hour to get our food.  I thought I was going to starve to death.

LH:  別說你了，讓我們等了快一個小時，我都要餓死了。嘿，Larry,  你看，我們還有不到2百米就要到頭了，快跑??！

LL:  Can't we walk the rest of the way?

LH:  你想走？ 不行不行，我們要堅(jiān)持跑到終點(diǎn) - Don't be a slacker, Larry!

LL:  Stop calling me that!  Next weekend, I'm going to wake you up at 6 a.m. to go running and then we'll see who is the slacker!

LH:  什么？你下星期六早上6點(diǎn)鐘叫我起來跑步啊？我可不干，下星期六我要睡懶覺- I'm going to sleep in！

今天李華從Larry那兒學(xué)到兩個常用語。一個是sleep in, 意思是“睡懶覺”。李華學(xué)到的另一個常用語是slacker, 是指“喜歡偷懶的人”。
