李華正在興致勃勃地給Larry將她去看醫(yī)生的經(jīng)過,沒想到被Larry潑了一盆冷水。李華今天要學(xué)兩個常用語,TMI和PDQ 。

LL: Oh, Li Hua, that is really TMI. I'm sorry you had to go to the doctor, but I really don't want to hear all about your infected toenail!

LH: 你不想知道醫(yī)生是怎么幫我處理那個發(fā)炎的腳趾甲的嗎?TMI? 什么是TMI呀?

LL: T-M-I is an abbreviation for "Too Much Information." I think you were giving me too much information about your doctor's appointment.

LH: 我知道TMI是too much information的縮寫,但我還是不明白,你為什么對我看醫(yī)生漠不關(guān)心呢?

LL: Well, you were telling me very specific details about your trip to the doctor, like how he had to cut away part of your toenail, and I thought you gave me too much information. TMI!

LH: 噢,你是不想聽醫(yī)生是怎么把發(fā)炎的腳趾甲剪掉,又是怎么把里面的膿....

LL: (Urgently) Please, Li Hua, that really is TMI! Generally, Americans don't like to talk about the specifics of personal matters like a doctor's visit, especially when the details are disgusting!

LH: 原來是這樣,就是說凡是像看醫(yī)生這類的私事,美國人一般不會告訴別人,否則的話就是TMI。

LL: That's right. But you should also not give too much information about your personal relationships.

LH: 我有個朋友叫Sharon,她最喜歡給我講她跟自己男朋友交往的細節(jié)。我也覺得那些都是 TMI 。

LL: How so?

LH: 比如說,她會告訴我,她的男朋友是怎么親她的。

LL: That is definitely TMI. You probably really don't want to know how Sharon's boyfriend kisses.

LH: 那當然了。我實在不想聽,可又不知道該怎么告訴她。

LL: Well, now you do! The next time Sharon goes on and on about her boyfriend you can just say, "Please, Sharon, TMI!"

LH: 我下次一定試試。對不起,Larry, 我得趕緊找個廁所。我剛才喝了一大瓶水。憋死我了。

LL: (Urgently) Li Hua, that is another excellent example of TMI!

******

LL: You are back, Li Hua. That was PDQ!

LH: 你剛才說TMI "too much information", 現(xiàn)在又說PDQ, PDQ是什么意思?。?/p>

LL: PDQ stands for "Pretty Darn Quick." You came back from the restroom very quickly, you were PDQ!

LH: 噢,你是說我動作快啊,我是不想讓你等,當然PDQ啦。

LL: Say, Li Hua, I am getting very hungry. Aren't you? Let's stop chatting and find a place to eat PDQ.

LH: 附近那個三明治的小吃店怎么樣?

LL: That's a good idea! The sandwiches are really good and they make them PDQ, which is good because I should really get back to work.

LH: 對呀,他們那里的三明治又好吃又不用等。Larry, 你下午干脆別上班了,我們好好吃一頓,然后去公園。這么好的天氣,待在辦公室里可惜了!

LL: I wish I could, Li Hua, but I really can't. My boss assigned me a project this morning, and he really wants me to finish it PDQ.

LH: 那好吧,既然你要趕項目,那我們就快吃,你好get back to work PDQ.

LL: What about you, Li Hua? Do you have a relaxing afternoon planned?

LH: 其實我也有事。我的公寓有些地方需要修理,房東下午過來。所以吃完飯,我也要立刻趕回去。

LL: Well, it sounds like we both have things to do this afternoon. Here's the sandwich place. Oh, No! It doesn't look like our lunch is going to PDQ after all.

LH: 今天怎么這么多人,都排到門外了。

LL: Well, it doesn't look like the service will be PDQ today. They must be short-handed.

LH: 我們改去麥當勞吧,快餐店應(yīng)該不會等太久。

LL: And then we'll need to eat them PDQ, too!

今天李華學(xué)到了兩個常用語。一個是TMI,意思是別人并不想知道的事。另一個是 PDQ, 意思是非??臁?/p>
