L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？ 1 E" W' j2 {6 X/ U! X: |* M' K) a4 F. S

M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades? If I don't do well, I won't get a good job later on.* P9 r7 M! a; X4 K% `9 B

L：哟，哪儿来那么大的火气呀！我知道你不是经常逃学，你学习很努力，争取得到好分数，将来找一份好工作。你不用发那么大的脾气嘛！- X6 ~& T" j5 |" q6 l0 Z) M2 P8 b/ q9 W

1 Z7 n; ` b% ?# h5 }: x2 `9 O M- R+ |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？ 8 G$ {/ m- |( a ! a; R2 y+ z0 X4 n/ u) I' N) O4 ZM：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way., N& W/ h. j! V9 j4 X
3 r8 @4 {8 j3 G, F+ ?9 T! X: N
L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 * ]! `) o. n2 B M# p6 n' r 2 o" n. \0 J; m( e/ CM：Yeah, but that's no excuse for snapping at you. I know you didn't mean to make me angry. " @. ^4 z- K, o2 o# I - q r F( q7 R- @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。。。 ( i2 Y7 [* C. z9 @" |% [/ Q 8 }8 e; y$ u.

L：对，他是说他妈妈骂他因为他打破了一个花瓶。可是，Michael，这里的snap是过去时，那该怎么拼呢？ 7 q* ~4 N8 I; P" Y) @5 g2 g6 ]; K3 m6 y5 d
M：Past tense for snap is s-n-a-p-p-e-d. I can say, "I snapped at you but I apologized." : v ^% `9 a Y! e6 a; s! D" |! @$ l# J. `6 j1 {

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。 T# P$ o5 @% g3 o& \# {
