第五部 第五课: to fork something over , to get over something
- 今天 Michael 和李华在打台球．从 Michael 的谈话中，李华学到两个常用语： to fork something over 和 to get over something.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎！哎！别，别进去，别进去呀！哎哦～，我怎麼又输了这关键的球呢！这下好了...
- Oh! That's too bad, Li Hua. Looks like you owe me five dollars. Come on, fork it over!
- 对，我们赌了五块钱，输了就给你嘛，有什麼了不起．疑？什麼是 fork it over 啊？
- To fork something over means to pay or give something, usually money. You lost a 5 dollar bet, so you need to fork over five dollars!
- 哦～， to fork it over 原来就是付钱，或者给什麼东西． Michael ，你再举个例子好不好？
- Before I left China, I bought a lot of souvenirs. At the train station, a worker told me that my bags were too heavy, and I was made to pay a fine. I had to fork over 80 yuan， 八十块！
- 啊？行李太重就被罚了八十块人民币！可能啊是坑你是外国人吧！嗨，你啊，本来就不该买那麼多礼品，而且你买的啊都不是什麼好东西，瞧！那条石头雕的龙，真难看！
- Hey, I forked over 350 yuan for that statue! Don't make fun of it!
- You forked over 350 yuan for that thing? 出 350 块买那条龙啊，哎哟老天爷，Michael, 那玩意儿恐怕还不值 50 块人民币呢。
- Well, anyway, you need to fork over my 5 dollars now, please.
- 哎，你那麼着急要我给你五块钱干嘛？
- Go over to the bar and get us some beers. My treat!
- 要我拿那五块钱去买啤酒，还算你请客！ Macheal , 你真好意思吶！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎哟，我刚才怎麼会又输给你呢，真是难以相信，真倒霉！
- Oh! Please, Li Hua, its a game of pool. Get over it!
- Get what? 你说什麼啊？ Get-over-it?
- I said "get over it". To get over something means to stop feeling bad about something, to forget about something bad.
- To get over it 就是不要為了某件事老感到难受，要把它忘掉．哎，你的意思是要我忘掉我输给你五块钱啊？
- Well, you don't need to completely forget about losing -- but just don't let the fact that you lost bother you. Get over it!
- 就是喔，完全忘掉啊恐怕是不行，但是别老放在心裡．哎， Michael, 我是跟你开玩笑的啦．嗯，不过， to get over it 这个说法好像很有用哎，再给我举个例子吧。
- My aunt's husband was killed in the Vietnam war. She never completely got over his death. She sometimes talks about him as if he were still alive.
- 哇哦～，你姨夫在越南战争裡被打死已经那麼久了，你阿姨到现在有时还以為他还活着．哎哟，我听了都感到难受，你不要举这麼伤心的例子好不好？
- Ok, let me see -- when I was eight, I had a puppy. I really loved that dog! But the dog got sick, and never got over the illness.
- 哟～，你八岁时候养的小狗后来病死啦！哦～，Michael! 我最心痛这种小动物了，我都快要哭了啦。
- Li Hua, Li Hua, please! Don't cry . That was years ago! Besides, it wasn't even your dog.
- 哎～，说的也是喔，那麼多年前的事了，而且又不是我的狗．嗯，可能我喝酒喝太多了。
- Hey, you'd better finish that! I forked over five dollars for these beers!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到两个常用语，一个是： to fork it over，意思是「给什麼东西或付钱」．另一个是： to get over it，意思是「忘掉不愉快的事情」。
