to tick someone off

get lost

Larry和李華正在圖書(shū)館里看書(shū)，在他們旁邊有個(gè)學(xué)生在用手機(jī)打電話。今天李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：to tick someone off和get lost.

(Someone talking on the phone loudly)

LL: It really ticks me off when people talk so loudly in the library.  Don't they realize that other people are trying to study?

LH:  就是嘛，在圖書(shū)館里這么大聲說(shuō)話，真討厭！Hey，Larry, 你說(shuō)tick me off，那是什么意思?。?/p>

LL:  That person ticks me off means he irritates me. To tick someone off is to annoy or irritate someone. 

LH:  噢，to tick someone off就是惹人生氣，讓人討厭的意思。沒(méi)錯(cuò)！那家伙說(shuō)話這么大聲害我不能專(zhuān)心看書(shū)。Larry，我們是不是該跟他說(shuō)說(shuō)呢？

LL:  No, that's okay.  I think he's leaving now anyway.  Thank God.  Besides, that would be a rude thing to say to someone's face.

LH:  對(duì)噢，當(dāng)眾要他小聲點(diǎn)似乎也太厲害，不夠禮貌。你看他走了，謝天謝地。Larry，你知道還有什么事tick me off ， 惹我生氣嗎？

LL: What ticks you off, Li Hua?

LH: 哼！Smith 教授在假期里給我們安排這么多作業(yè)，真是氣人！這樣我們根本沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)好好休息嘛！

LL:  Yeah, that ticks me off, too, but there's nothing we can do about it.  What else ticks you off?

LH:  說(shuō)的也是，我啊再抱怨，作業(yè)還是得做。嗯，還有什么事讓我生氣的?。繉?duì)了，我那同屋常常三更半夜才回家，每次都把我吵醒，我一生氣就怎么也睡不著了！

LL: No wonder you look so tired lately.  You should really talk to your roommate about that.  You need to sleep.

LH:  我看起來(lái)很累的樣子，是不是？哎呀，真糟糕。我是該跟她好好談?wù)?，可是這種事情真的很難開(kāi)口嘛！

LL:  You can just very politely tell her that it really ticks you off when she comes home so late and ask her to try and be more quiet.

LH: 很禮貌地告訴她她那么晚回來(lái)讓我生氣？讓她小聲一點(diǎn)？唉，我得好好想想該怎么說(shuō)才不讓她生氣。I don't want to tick her off.

******

LL:  Hey, Li Hua, you're still looking really tired today.  Didn't you talk to your roommate?

LH: 唉，別提了，我和我同屋說(shuō)了??！可是她叫我get lost。嗯，Larry，get lost是什么意思??？

LL:  That's so rude!  "Get lost" is a rude way of telling someone to leave.  She told you in a very rude way to leave her alone.

LH:  哎喲，昨天她說(shuō)的時(shí)候是很不高興的樣子，但是我當(dāng)時(shí)不懂什么是get lost。 哼，原來(lái)是叫我走開(kāi)，別煩她的意思。這可真是粗魯。那我現(xiàn)在該怎么辦呢？

LL: Next time she comes home at 2 am, I would tell her to get lost and find somewhere else to sleep.

LH:  下次她再晚回家，你讓我也對(duì)她說(shuō)get lost, 叫她到別處睡去。那怎么行哪？

LL: I know, but she deserves it. Maybe you can look for another roommate.  She doesn't sound like a nice person to live with.

LH:  嗯！你說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。等我找到一個(gè)新的同屋就把她給踢出去。到那時(shí)，我就可以對(duì)她說(shuō)get lost！

LL:  That's right.  I'm sure you'll tick her off.

LH:  她要生氣，那真是活該了。嗨, 對(duì)了，Larry, 我們剛才應(yīng)該對(duì)那個(gè)打電話的人說(shuō)get lost，對(duì)不對(duì)？

LL:  We could, but that would be kind of rude.  Try not to use "get lost" too much unless you are kidding with someone.

LH:   噢，開(kāi)玩笑的時(shí)候也可以說(shuō)。OK, Larry, get lost!

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。一個(gè)是：to tick someone off, 意思是惹人生氣，討人厭。李華學(xué)到的另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是get lost。意思是叫人走開(kāi)，別來(lái)煩我的意思。這是一種非常粗魯?shù)恼f(shuō)法。
