L：我最近工作是很忙。Michael，你的意思是让我打电话给工作的地方说我生病，这样就可以不去上班？这也可以说是to play hooky? 7 i2 z$ L9 b/ }0 P( E1 Q0 i ! X# n" o5 J6 E# c. g# v7 gM：Yes, you can play hooky from school or from work. 0 c. p; r!

M：I'm sorry, Li Hua. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that right now I'm so stressed. That's part of the reason why I didn't go to class today. 4 l7 V2 @0 a! I. |" O & p! o9 [/ b% c1 [L：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？: u$ d# W* G! l: o( F7 m# P

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。; ~; J. V( c9 ?3 Z( t: o

今天李华又从Michael那儿学到两个常用语，to play hooky就是逃学，或者装病不去上班；to snap就是对某人嚷嚷，很生气地对某人说话。这次<流行美语>播送完了，下次节目再见。 / G5 B @/ Y- U' o% H3 c" x' L4 O+ b+ K
