今天是星期六,Larry和李華要和另外一個同學Jim一塊兒去吃午飯,然后再去看電影。今天李華會學到兩個常用語:to dump someone和babe magnet.

LL: Li Hua, Jim sounded really bummed on the phone. His girlfriend just dumped him and I don't think he's handling it very well.

LH: Jim在電話上聽起來情緒很壞?他女朋友把他怎么啦?Dumped him?什么是dump?

LL: Well, first they had a fight and then she dumped him. To dump is to break up with someone.

LH: 噢,原來dump someone就是不要和某人在一起了。也就是Jim的女朋友把他給甩了。是呀,男女朋友分手是挺難受的。

LL: Yeah, I can't believe she dumped him after they'd been together for two years. It's really a shock.

LH: 我聽了也很驚奇。他們在一起已經(jīng)兩年了,Jim脾氣又那么好,為什么他女朋友要把他甩了?為什么要dump him?

LL: I don't know. He wouldn't tell me the reason why she dumped him.

LH: 他不原意告訴你為什么。對,有的人是不原意跟別人談這種細節(jié)。會不會Jim的女朋友愛上別人了?

LL: That's possible, but it's not really any of our business. We should just try and cheer him up while we're with him.

LH: 對,這是他們之間的事。我們不必過問。我們今天就想辦法讓他高興一點就好了。哎,Larry,你有沒有被女朋友甩過? Have you ever been dumped?

LL: I really don't want to talk about that, Li Hua. If I have been dumped, it's not something I'm proud of.

LH: 你不想告訴我。我能理解,被別人甩了確實不是什么值得驕傲的事。這么說,你被甩過。You have been dumped. 為什么?

LL: Li Hua! I told you that I don't want to talk about it.

LH: 對不起,對不起。我只是好奇。你人那么好,為什么你的女朋友會甩了你。我只是覺得很難想像而已。

LL: Don't worry about it. Hey, look, we're almost at Jim's place.

******

LH: 嘿,Larry, 剛才吃飯的時候,你說Jim是個babe magnet,他聽了好像開心一點。Babe magnet到底是什么意思啊?

LL: A babe magnet is a man who attracts lots of women, the way a magnet attracts metal. I was trying to make him feel better.

LH: 噢,我懂了,babe就是指女孩子,而magnet就是磁鐵,所以一個babe magnet就是很能吸引女孩的人。你這么說是為了安慰Jim。意思是他很快就會找到新女朋友了,是不是?

LL: Exactly. If he feels good about himself and thinks about future possibilities, then he won't be so depressed about getting dumped.

LH: 沒錯。只要Jim對自己有信心,覺得前途有希望,他就不會太難過了。而且Jim真的是一個babe magnet??!他長的一表人才,又聰明,對人也好。我想很多女孩都會喜歡他!

LL: Hey, Li Hua, if you think he's such a babe magnet, then why don't you go out with him?

LH: Larry! 你在說什么嘛!我說Jim是個好人并不意味著我就要和他談戀愛啊。

LL: I know; I'm just teasing you. Besides, even if Jim is an irresistible babe magnet, I don't think it's a good idea to go out with him right now.

LH: 我同意。他現(xiàn)在情緒不好。最好等一段時間再開始談戀愛。Larry,有沒有人告訴你,你也算得上是個babe magnet?

LL: I don't need anyone to tell me I'm a babe magnet. I already know it.

LH: 是嗎?口氣還真不小嘛,你早知道自己是個babe magnet啊?

LL: Yep. Women love me. They told me I'm a babe magnet.

LH: (Giggling) 你要真是個babe-magnet,那你怎么會被甩的呢?

LL: Li Hua, I told you...

LH: 開個玩笑嘛!

今天李華學到兩個常用語。一個是to dump someone,就是把某人甩了,和這個人分手的意思。另一個常用語是babe magnet。這是指一個能吸引女孩的男人。
