第二部 第叁课: lucky break , mellow
- 他们俩刚上完课，现在正在从课堂裡走出来．今天李华会学到两个常用语： lucky break 和 mellow。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎，今天教授把考卷发回来给我们了，Michael，你考得好吗？
- I did much better than I expected. It was a lucky break that I knew most of the answers.
- 啊～？你考得比你预期的好，那太好了．哎？不过，你说什麼又是 lucky 又是 break 的？ Lucky 不是说好运气吗？那， Break 是休息啊，对不对？
- Lucky, l-u-c-k-y, and break, b-r-e-a-k, Lucky break together means something good that happens that you were not expecting.
- 哦～， lucky 和 break 这两个词放在一起，它的意思就是没有预料到的好运气．哎， Michael 啊，你刚才那句话是怎麼说的呢？
- I said: it was a lucky break that I knew most of the answers.
- 啊～，我懂了．你是说啊，你没有想到运气会那麼好，大多数考题的答案啊，你刚好都知道。
- Yeah, that's right. If you understand, give me an example.
- 喝！，我当然懂啦，你还想考考我吶？哎，那天吶，我开车开的飞快，警察让我把车停下来．哎，可是他只给了我一个警告，而没有给我罚单，我可没想到会有这种好运气．那～，这可以说是一个 lucky break 吧？
- That was a lucky break. I think it was because the police officer found you attractive.
- 嘻嘻嘻，你说警察因為看我漂亮才不给我开票？哎哟，你别开玩笑了！哎，不过呀，那一次可真是运气，否则啊至少要罚我五十美元吶．嗯，让我想想我还有什麼例子可以用 lucky break 这个说法的。
- Well, the paper that's due in two days, I.....
- 对对对，教授要我们在两天后交报告， Michael，你还没有开始动手吧！哎，幸好教授啊推迟了限期，让我们下个星期一交．这对你来啊也是个 lucky break 吧？
- Yeah, let's go to lunch to celebrate our good luck.
- 好呀， 去吃午饭，庆祝我们的好运气。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎呀，这个地方太闹了！
- Yeah, you're right. It'll be hard for us to have a conversation here. Let's go to a place that's more mellow.
- 对啊，在这裡讲话什麼都听不到，到别的地方去吧．哎， Michael 啊，你刚才讲什麼 more mellow 啊？
- I said that let's go to a place that's more mellow, meaning someplace more calm and relaxing. Mellow, m-e-l-l-o-w.
- 哦～， more mellow 的意思就是说比较平静、比较放鬆．那也就是说到一个比较不闹的地方去，对不对？
- Yeah, you can use the word mellow to describe a person too.
- 哦～， Mellow 也可以用来形容一个人吶，那～，今天我们的教授很平静，我可不可以说： She was mellow today!
- Yeah, hey, let's go the cafe near the library.
- 太好了，这个地方啊很安静．哎，我们来看看菜单吧．哎哟，你看，再过五分鐘就开始减价了哎，叁明治今天要半价．我们的运气可真好呢！
- Well, we found the mellow place and we pay half price. Really a lucky break. Worth celebrating too.
- 对啊，我们找到了安静的地方，还只付半价。真是值得庆祝呢．哎， Michael，你多吃点吧， 晚饭啊就可以不用吃了。
- Ok. Good idea!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
