Donny 在北京學(xué)漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會(huì)來請教他。今天是Jimmy要問的：別慌。

Jimmy: Donny, 大事不好了!

Donny: What happened, Jimmy? You look terrible!

Jimmy: 兩小時(shí)后....我要和女朋友約會(huì)，她剛提醒我，今天是我們認(rèn)識(shí)一周年紀(jì)念日，還給我準(zhǔn)備了禮物。But I totally forgot! 怎么辦？她肯定會(huì)生氣，會(huì)罵我，會(huì)分手，還會(huì)......

Donny: Hey! Hey! Don't have a cow!

Jimmy: 啊？你說什么？cow? cow 不是奶牛么？

Donny: What I meant is-- you need to calm down. "Don't have a cow" 也就是中文里說的不要慌張。

Jimmy: 哦，讓別人冷靜，別慌，就說 Don't have a cow! 哎？還有別的說法么？我記得有個(gè)詞叫 chill, c-h-i-l-l?

Donny: Yes! You can say chill out. It means calm down, or "don't panic".

Jimmy: 啊! 要是我今晚跟女朋友坦白講：我就是忘了咱倆認(rèn)識(shí)一周年這回事了，你能把我怎么樣？她肯定會(huì)抓狂。然后我就說：Honey! Chill out!

Donny: 呃....I think you better say "Honey, I'm really sorry. How can I make up to you?"

Jimmy: 呵呵，我開玩笑的。

Donny: Oh, speaking of the word "chill", you can also say "take a chill
pill". It's another way of saying "calm down".

Jimmy: Take a chill pill. Pill, p-i-l-l, pill是“藥丸”的意思，所以, take a chill pill字面意思就是“吃個(gè)冷靜藥丸”，就是叫人別激動(dòng)，別慌。

Donny: You got it. So what are you going to do for tonight's date?

Jimmy: 還能怎么辦，抓緊這兩小時(shí)，趕緊去買禮物唄! 走啦!

Donny: Before you go, tell me what you've learned today!

Jimmy: 今天學(xué)了讓人別慌的三種說法。第一，Don't have a cow; 第二，Chill out; 第三：Take a chill pill.
