Larry和李華正在一家洗衣店里洗衣服。今天李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：whoa和booboo。

LL: Whoa, Li Hua, don't put so much detergent into the washing machine!

LH: 我放太多洗衣粉啦？那下回我就少放一些。對(duì)了，Larry，你剛才說(shuō)whoa，那是西部牛仔經(jīng)常說(shuō)的話嗎？你剛才說(shuō)whoa是什么意思呀？

LL: Li Hua, have you been watching Westerns lately? You are right. Cowboys say "whoa" when they want their horses to slow down.

LH: 原來(lái)我還真猜對(duì)了。在西部電影里，那些牛仔經(jīng)常會(huì)說(shuō)whoa，就是要他們的馬兒慢下來(lái)。所以你剛才說(shuō)whoa，就是要我慢點(diǎn)，別倒太多洗衣粉下去。

LL: Right. Whoa, Li Hua, look at all the laundry that guy just brought in!

LH: 等等，Larry，那個(gè)人是拿了一大包臟衣服進(jìn)來(lái)，你說(shuō)whoa是要他慢慢洗嗎？ 你又不認(rèn)識(shí)他，跟你又有什么相干哪！

LL: No, this time I used "whoa" to express amazement. I was amazed at the piles of laundry that guy just brought it. "Whoa" is an exclamation and depending on how you say it, it can mean different things.

LH: 噢，這兒的whoa 是表示驚奇。你說(shuō)了兩次whao， 可是意思完全不一樣。看來(lái)，這個(gè)whao 可以表達(dá)不同的意思。

LL：You're absolutely right!

LH：Whoa, Larry，你沒(méi)有必要摺衣服摺那么快嘛！我們還有很多衣服要洗，得在這兒等上好長(zhǎng)時(shí)間呢！

LL: Hey, that was a good use of "whoa."

LH: 還是得謝謝你這位老師的指導(dǎo)啊！Whoa, Larry，你看到那個(gè)人換了多少硬幣要來(lái)洗衣服??？

LL: The guy with all the laundry? He's going to need a lot of quarters to do all of that laundry. Oh, hey, my next load of laundry is done. Let me take it out.

LH: Whoa, Larry, 你的白襯衫怎么全變成粉紅色啦？

LL: I think you've mastered the use of "whoa," Li Hua.

LH: Whoa, Larry, 我不過(guò)是用你剛教的常用語(yǔ)開開玩笑嘛。不過(guò)，你的白襯衣是變成粉紅色啦！

******

LL: Oh, boy, Li Hua, I made a big booboo.

LH: 你做了什么？A booboo?

LL: Yeah, a booboo means a big mistake! I left a red sock in with my white t-shirts and underwear. Now everything is pink.

LH: Booboo就是犯了個(gè)大錯(cuò)誤。原來(lái)你把一只紅襪子丟進(jìn)去和白襯衫一塊洗，怪不得現(xiàn)在它們都成了粉紅襯衫了。沒(méi)關(guān)系啦，Larry，犯錯(cuò)誤的人多著吶，我昨天也犯了個(gè)大錯(cuò) - a booboo。

LL: What was that?

LH: 我啊，把錢包和鑰匙放在廚房的桌子上，走出家才想起來(lái)，所以就把鑰匙給鎖在家里了。

LL: That was a booboo, all right. How did you fix your booboo?

LH: 還能怎么辦，只好請(qǐng)鎖匠來(lái)開門。當(dāng)然啦，就是得花錢，破財(cái)消災(zāi)嘍！Larry，我來(lái)幫你把這些粉紅襯衫放到烘干機(jī)里吧！

LL: Thanks. Hey, Li Hua, do you see that kid over there with the booboo on his knee?

LH: The kid with a booboo on his knee? 你是說(shuō)坐在那兒，那個(gè)膝蓋上貼繃帶的小孩??？

LL: Yeah, I saw him fall down earlier and get a booboo. He just scraped his knee a little. He cried, but his mom cheered him up.

LH: 噢，你看到他摔下來(lái)，膝蓋受了傷?。康鹊?，Larry，這么說(shuō)，booboo除了指錯(cuò)誤，也可以指受傷，對(duì)嗎？

LL: Right, but not a serious injury. . . Oh, Li Hua, watch out for the door of the dryer!

LH: Ow! 好痛噢， 我的手指給烘干機(jī)的門夾到了。

LL: Oh, let me see. Look, you've got a booboo, too!

今天李華學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。第一個(gè)是whoa，這個(gè)詞有幾種意思，它可以指“嘿，慢點(diǎn)”。也可以表示“很驚奇”。李華學(xué)到的另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)就是：booboo。Booboo也有兩種意思。一個(gè)是指錯(cuò)誤，另外也可以指受傷。
