Larry最近去約塞美蒂?lài)?guó)家公園度假。他正在告訴李華旅游的情況。李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：blown away和bone head。

LL: Yosemite was fantastic. You really should go sometime, Li Hua. I know you would be completely blown away by the scenery.

LH: 你是說(shuō)那兒的風(fēng)很大，會(huì)把我吹走呀？我本來(lái)倒是很想去，可是要是會(huì)被吹走的話(huà)，那不是太危險(xiǎn)了嘛？

LL: No, no. By "blown away" I mean you would be astounded. When something blows you away, it amazes you.

LH: 噢，blown away 在這里指的是感到驚異，吃驚。對(duì)了，我看到過(guò)約塞美蒂?lài)?guó)家公園的照片。照片上的風(fēng)景就讓我驚嘆不已了。

LL: But being there in person is so much more amazing. You won't believe how high some of the waterfalls are; when you go, it will blow you away!

LH: 身臨其境那當(dāng)然更好了。我是聽(tīng)說(shuō)了那兒的瀑布從很高的山上流下來(lái)，非常驚人。其實(shí)你知道嗎，Larry，中國(guó)也有許多有名的山脈。下回你去中國(guó)一定要去黃山玩。那里的景色也會(huì)讓你驚嘆不已！

LL: I am sure I will be blown away. I've heard friends who have been to Huang Shan and talk about it, and it does sound amazing.

LH: 對(duì)，很多美國(guó)人都去黃山玩過(guò)，他們都覺(jué)得很美。對(duì)了，Larry，你去約塞美蒂有沒(méi)有照相哪？

LL: I sure do. Before I left, my uncle came by and gave me a new camera to take with me to Yosemite. I was blown away by his generosity.

LH: 你叔叔那么好呀！知道你要出去玩還特地送你一個(gè)新的照相機(jī)呀！他這么慷慨，人人都會(huì)感到驚異，而且還會(huì)讓人羨慕你吶。

LL: Yes, sometimes when someone does something unexpectedly nice, it really blows you away.

LH: 對(duì)，象我剛到美國(guó)的時(shí)候沒(méi)有汽車(chē)，有的人開(kāi)車(chē)帶我去買(mǎi)菜，然后告訴我到什么地方該怎么走。我沒(méi)有想到人們會(huì)對(duì)我這么好，真是讓我感到又感動(dòng)，又驚訝呢。

LL: You know, the scenery was beautiful, but I was also blown away by the number of tourists at Yosemite.

LH: 那有什么奇怪的？放暑假嘛，旅游的人當(dāng)然多了！

******

LL: Li Hua，I was also blown away by some of the stupid things people would do in the park!

LH: 那不奇怪，在哪兒都有人做一些不得體的事。你看見(jiàn)有些人做什么啦？

LL: Well, there was one guy who was feeding the deer. What a bone head!

LH: 給鹿吃東西？公園里一般都不讓大家給動(dòng)物吃東西。你說(shuō)bone head，你是指那頭鹿頭上有骨頭？誰(shuí)頭上沒(méi)有骨頭呀？

LL: No, I mean the guy who fed the deer was a bone head. A bone head is someone who has no brains and does something really stupid.

LH: 嗯，bone head就是沒(méi)有腦筋的人，所以你是指那些給鹿吃東西的人沒(méi)有腦子。對(duì)了，我聽(tīng)說(shuō)鹿應(yīng)該在他們所在的棲息地自己找東西吃。

LL: Yes, there are thousands of tourists who come to Yosemite every day. If everyone fed them, the deer would probably get fat and sick!

LH: 還有那些隨地扔?xùn)|西的人也很討厭，他們也都是bone-headed。

LL: Exactly. Not picking up your trash just spoils the view for others and is bad for the environment.

LH: 就是嘛，到處扔垃圾不但會(huì)影響公園的景色，而且也有害與保護(hù)環(huán)境。也許他們是因?yàn)闆](méi)有扔垃圾的口袋？

LL: That still seems like a bone-headed excuse to me. You can carry your trash until you find a park trash can or bring it with you to your car.

LH: 你說(shuō)我沒(méi)有腦筋才會(huì)問(wèn)這樣的問(wèn)題？我看你才沒(méi)腦筋吶！把垃圾拿在手里，等到看見(jiàn)垃圾筒再扔？或者把垃圾帶回到你汽車(chē)?yán)?？什么餿主意呀！

LL：I wonder why don't parks give out trash bags to everyone who comes into the park, Li Hua, Do you think that would prevent littering?

LH: Larry，這才是個(gè)好主意吶！ 公園應(yīng)該給每個(gè)來(lái)公園玩的人發(fā)一個(gè)垃圾袋，這樣人們就不會(huì)隨地扔?xùn)|西了。

LL：In fact, there are some parks in the U.S. that do that.

LH: 有的公園已經(jīng)這樣做了，那別的公園也應(yīng)該這樣做。

LL：So, I had a good idea! I guess that means you don't think I'm a bone head!

LH：對(duì)，這個(gè)主意很好，所以你不是一個(gè)bone head.

今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。一個(gè)是blown away，意思是驚嘆，驚奇。另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是bone head，意思是沒(méi)有腦筋的人。
