第七部 第九課: sleep in , slacker
- 這是星期六，李華一大早就到 Larry 的宿舍去叫他一塊兒去跑步．在今天的談話中，李華會學到兩個常用語：sleep in 和 slacker。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- come in!
- 哎呀，Larry，你怎麼還沒起床啊，都八點半啦！
- Li Hua, it's Saturday, I want to sleep in for once. What's so important that you have to wake me up?
- 哎喲，你不是說今天早上一起去跑步嗎？還問我什麼事情那麼重要，把你叫醒了，你啊真健忘．疑？你說你想 "sleep in" 那是什麼意思呀？
- Ok, now pay attention. "Sleep in" is a very, very important term to me. (Sleep in) means to sleep later than usual.
- 哦～，sleep in 意思就是「比平時起得晚」，疑？那不就是「睡懶覺」嗎？喔！你真懶哎，怪不得 sleep in 這個短語啊，對你來說 "very, very important".
- Hey, sleeping in once in a while does not make a person lazy.
- 嗯～，這話也有道理喔，偶爾睡個懶覺也不見得就是懶惰，其實我有的時候也喜歡早上多睡會兒呢。
- Li Hua, why didn't you sleep in this morning? It's Saturday!
- 喔～，這個星期啊每天我都忙得要命，根本沒時間鍛煉，所以才想早上起來跑步啊！
- Sleep is important, too, Li Hua. You should have slept in and run later.
- 唉～，要早知道你想睡懶覺，我也不用起那麼早了．今天中午啊我睡個午覺，這樣就可以補過來早上沒有 sleep in 的損失囉！
- That sounds like a good idea. Now, can I go back to sleep?
- 跟你說了那麼多話，你還想睡覺啊！起來，起來，起來，跟我一起去跑步。
- All right. I guess I'm awake now anyway. Wait for me, I'll be ready to go in a minute.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Li Hua, why don't we stop at Starbucks and have a coffee!
- Larry，跑了那麼幾分鐘，你就想到星巴克喝咖啡啊！哎喲，你真懶。
- Come on! I'm not a slacker. I'm just a little tired because somebody didn't let me sleep in this morning.
- 對，是我把你叫醒的．可是你沒睡懶覺也不至於就累成這樣啊！你不是個 "slacker"，我連 "slacker" 是什麼我都還不知道呢！
- A slacker is someone who "slacks off" or is very lazy.
- 哦～，我想起來了， Michael 啊以前就給我解釋過 slack off 這個短語，意思就是「鬆懈、懶散」，那 slacker 就是「喜歡偷懶、特別懶散的人」囉！
- You got it. For example: a student who doesn't do his homework and is always late for class is a slacker.
- 嗯～，一個上課老遲到、老不做作業的學生就是個 slacker． 哎，Larry，我們認識的人裡，誰是 slacker 啊？
- You know that guy in our history class who always sleeps through class and never reads his textbook? He is a slacker.
- 對對對，歷史課上那個傢伙啊一上課就睡覺，課本也從來不看，絕對是個 slacker．哎，Larry，那昨天飯館裡那個女服務員也是個 slacker 吧？
- Ah, she was a slacker! She was so slow that it took nearly an hour to get our food. I thought I was going to starve to death.
- 唉～，別說你了，讓我們等了快一個小時，我啊都要餓死了．哎，Larry，你看，我們還有不到 2 百米就要到頭了，快跑啊！
- Can't we walk the rest of the way?
- 你想走？不行不行，我們要堅持跑到終點 - Don't be a slacker, Larry!
- Stop calling me that! Next weekend, I'm going to wake you up at 6 a.m. to go running and then we'll see who is the slacker!
- 什麼啊？你下星期六早上 6 點要叫我起來跑步啊？喝！我可不幹，下星期六啊我要睡懶覺 - I'm going to sleep in！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李華從 Larry 那兒學到了兩個常用語，一個是： sleep in，意思是「睡懶覺」．李華學到的另一個常用語是： slacker，是指「喜歡偷懶的人」。
