LH: Shrink是指心理醫(yī)生?。∧阋钦f(shuō)要去看心理醫(yī)生，別人就會(huì)覺(jué)得你這個(gè)人腦袋有問(wèn)題，精神不正常。

LL: Yeah, but shrink isn't usually a nice way to refer to psychiatrists.

LH: 噢，shrink是指心理醫(yī)生，但是是帶貶意的。為什么呢？

LL: Well, for instance, if my dad were a psychiatrist, I wouldn't describe him to other people as a shrink.

LH: 你爸爸要是個(gè)心理醫(yī)生，你就不會(huì)說(shuō)他是個(gè)shrink，為什么？你爸爸是個(gè)很糟糕的醫(yī)生？

LL: No, it's because shrink is just not a very respectful word.

LH: 我懂了，所以shrink就是對(duì)心理醫(yī)生不尊重的稱(chēng)呼。對(duì)了，Larry，你看過(guò)心理醫(yī)生嗎？

LL: Are you trying to imply that I'm crazy, Li Hua?

LH: 沒(méi)有啦，我當(dāng)然知道你腦子沒(méi)有問(wèn)題。不過(guò)，在美國(guó)好像很多人都去看心理醫(yī)生耶！

LL: It is more acceptable nowadays, but a lot of people are still very uncomfortable about the idea of seeing a shrink.

LH: 是呀，好象這是很普遍的事。原來(lái)在美國(guó)還是有很多人覺(jué)得不能接受，他們覺(jué)得去看心理醫(yī)生的都是有些問(wèn)題，腦筋不太正常的人吧！

LL: No, shrinks help people who are depressed or are having family problems. Actually, most of the people who see a shrink probably aren't what we would call crazy.

LH: 是啊，現(xiàn)代人生活這么緊張，很多人都得了憂(yōu)郁癥，這時(shí)候心理醫(yī)生就能幫上很大的忙。對(duì)了，Larry，你認(rèn)不認(rèn)識(shí)什么心理醫(yī)生?。?/p>

LL: Actually, my Dad's best friend is a shrink. He works with children that have social disorders.

LH: 真的??？你爸爸的好朋友就是一個(gè)心理醫(yī)生？而且專(zhuān)門(mén)治療小朋友不合群的問(wèn)題？Larry，你小的時(shí)候有沒(méi)有什么問(wèn)題，去看過(guò)這醫(yī)生嗎？

LL: Very funny, Li Hua.

LH: 我是跟你開(kāi)玩笑的啦！

******

LL: Hey, Li Hua, were you grossed out by the murder scene in that movie?

LH: 你說(shuō)電影里那段謀殺的情節(jié)怎么樣？什么是gross out？

LL: Grossed out means disgusted. So, did that scene gross you out?

LH: Gross out就是讓人感到惡心，你這么一說(shuō)我就想起來(lái)，那段劇情真是夠可怕的，有好多血噢！我是真的覺(jué)得gross out！

LL: Yeah, me too. Usually scenes like that don't bother me too much because I know they're fake, but that one was particularly nasty. I was really grossed out.

LH: 我啊，一看到血就受不了了。前幾天，我不小心摔傷了膝蓋，看到血流出來(lái)，我差點(diǎn)兒沒(méi)昏倒 - I almost grossed out.

LL: I guess that it's a good thing you decided not to be a surgeon. Otherwise, you'll be grossed out all the time.

LH: 是呀，我媽媽一心想要我當(dāng)醫(yī)生，可是我這種一看到血就惡心的人，怎么能進(jìn)醫(yī)學(xué)院嘛！

LL: Yeah, in medical school, you have to study dead bodies.

LH: Larry，你別再說(shuō)了，你越說(shuō)我越害怕，也越覺(jué)得惡心了。別再說(shuō)了啦！

LL: Wow, I guess you do get grossed out easily.

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。第一個(gè)是shrink，這是指心理醫(yī)生，但是是一種非常不禮貌的稱(chēng)呼，所以大家在應(yīng)用時(shí)要小心。另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是gross out，就是讓人惡心的意思。
