Michael和李華都在紐約上大學(xué),最近他們結(jié)束了期中考試,今天準(zhǔn)備坐火車去華盛頓參觀訪問,F(xiàn)在Michael正在火車站等李華。今天他們?cè)谡勗捴袝?huì)用到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ):drained和wired。
L:嘿,Michael。這火車站好大,總算找到你了。
M: The train is just about to leave. Good thing you got here in time.
L:我當(dāng)然會(huì)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到,我什么時(shí)候遲到過?嗨,火車就要開啦?要多少時(shí)間才能到華盛頓吶?
M: Only about four hours. I'm probably going to sleep the entire way.
L:(train leaving station, announcer in background) 你想在火車上睡覺?不行,你睡覺我跟誰(shuí)說話吶?
M: Li Hua, you are full of energy. But I'm drained, I'm going to sleep.
L:我是精力充沛?赡阏f你是什么?Drained?
M: Yeah. Drained, it means exhausted.
L:Drained就是累的意思。那drained這個(gè)詞還能用在其他什么場(chǎng)合呢?
M: The word can be used two ways. To be physically drained and emotionally drained. For example, if a couple fight all the time, they would be emotionally tired, which you can also call drained.
L:噢,drained可以指體力很累,也可以指一個(gè)人在情緒上壓力很大。要是一對(duì)夫婦老是吵架,那肯定情緒很不好。你是這個(gè)意思吧?
M: Yeah, you understand. You don't even seem drained after the mid-terms.
L:考試倒沒讓我覺得累,可是,兩天前我跟我哥哥為了他的女朋友吵了一架。他那女朋友很任性,還老想管別人,真討厭。跟我哥哥吵完后,我真是感到很累。
M: Yeah, you were emotionally drained. Well, if you don't want me to sleep on the train, we'd better go get more coffee. Let's go to the Cafe Car.
L:那好呀,走,去食品車廂買咖啡!
M: This coffee is going to keep me awake the entire trip.
L:這杯咖啡就能讓你一路上不困啦?我可不行,到華盛頓之前,我至少還要喝兩杯。
M: Geez, Li Hua, I don't think I will be nearly as wired as you are.
L:Wired?我猜這是說我精力旺盛,是不是?
M: You are right. This word has a couple of meanings. One means to be energetic and the other means to have nervous energy.
L:這么說,wired可以指對(duì)某件事很興奮,也可以說對(duì)某件事感到緊張而努力去做。要是我精力充沛,可以說:I am wired;要是在大考前我感到很緊張而抓緊時(shí)間復(fù)習(xí)功課,也可以說:I'm wired。是這個(gè)意思嗎?
M: Yeah, that's right. But it has one other meaning as well. Wired means to be connected to something, such as being wired into the Internet, or being wired into a discussion.
L:噢,跟什么東西聯(lián)系在一起也可以說是wired,例如和因特網(wǎng)連接。你最后說的wired into a discussion 我不太懂,那是什么意思啊?
M: You have been participating in the meetings to make decisions about our college, right?
L:對(duì)啊!我是參加一些會(huì)議,討論有關(guān)學(xué)校的某些決定。
M: Ok, your participation in the college's meetings and being involved in those decisions means you are wired into the discussion.
L:噢,我參加這些會(huì)議,參預(yù)決策的討論,這就可以說:I'm wired into the discussion.
M: Yep. After all this coffee I have had, I don't feel so drained. In fact, after the next cup, I think I'm going to be pretty wired.
L:喝了咖啡你就不感到那么累了。再喝一杯,你就精神百倍了。那好,我再去給你買一杯,要不要?
M: Thanks so much, Li Hua!
今天Michael和李華在談話中用了兩個(gè)意思相對(duì)的詞,一個(gè)是drained,意思是非常累;另一個(gè)是wired,意思是精力充沛。
