第十一部 第五课: butterfingers , klutz
- Larry 和李华正在学校体育馆裡打篮球．今天李华会学到两个常用语： butterfingers 和 klutz。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Here, Li Hua, catch!
- 嘿！Larry，你不要那麼用力嘛！你这麼用力我接不住啊！
- Don't blame the fact that you're a butterfingers on me. I don't think it's my fault that you keep dropping the ball.
- 对，我老是接不住球，可我没有怪你呀！我只是让你别使那麼大劲儿嘛．你说我是什麼来着啊？ Butterfingers？喝！你肯定又在损我了，是不是？
- A butterfingers is someone who is clumsy and tends to drop things.
- 哦～，我知道了， butter 是黄油， fingers 是手指， butterfingers 就好像啊手上抹黄油，油腻腻的抓不住东西．也就是指那些笨手笨脚，经常会把东西掉在地上的人． Larry，我才不是呢，都是你～，扔球太用力，所以我才接不住啊！
- Okay, butterfingers, you can keep trying to blame this on me, but I know the truth.
- 别再叫我 butterfingers 了啦．哎，来吧，再丢一次，只是别那麼用力了喔！
- All right, but I don't think it's going to help.
- 你看．我这不是接住了吗？ I'm not a butterfingers！
- That was just luck. Don't feel too bad, though, my sister's much more of a butterfingers than you are.
- 你妹妹比我还糟糕？怎麼说啊？
- She used to try out for the softball team every year in high school, but she never made the team because she couldn't catch the ball.
- 啊～，她唸中学的时候每年都参加垒球队选拔，从来没有被接纳呀！就是因為她老接不到球！看来她真的是个 butterfingers。
- My sister's tough, though, she never let the fact that she's a genuine butterfingers stop her from trying.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Larry，你怎麼摔倒啦，没事吧？
- Yeah, I'm all right. I just tripped over that rock. I'm such a klutz!
- 喔～，是一块石头把你绊倒了啊？疑？你说你是什麼来着啊？ Klutz？那是什麼意思啊？
- A klutz is someone who is very clumsy and falls, and trips, and bumps into things very easily.
- Klutz 就是指那种经常会撞上什麼东西，经常会跌倒的人啊． Larry，我可从来没有见你摔倒过哎．这还是第一次呢，所以你还算不上是个 klutz。
- Thank you, Li Hua. I appreciate it. However, I assure you that I can be a real klutz sometimes. Fortunately, I usually do klutzy things when no one else is looking.
- 哼哼嘿，Larry，你啊真有意思．你怎麼知道你笨手笨脚的时候没有人看见呢？不久前你好像告诉我你撞到什麼东西．我听了也忘了。
- Oh, that's a few months ago. One day, I wasn't paying attention and I walked into a street sign. Some girls saw me and they started laughing. I felt ridiculous!
- 光听你这麼说啊，我就觉得很好笑，从没听说有人走在路上还会撞上路标的．我可以想像，你当时啊一定显得很傻， a real klutz!
- Well, that's the only time people saw me being a klutz. I don't plan on doing a repeat performance.
- 就这一次给人看见？以后不再会这样傻了？你别太自信了！
- You mean once a klutz, always a klutz?
- 我不是说你做了一次傻事，以后永远做傻事．我是说啊你还有可能做傻事喔。
- Well, let's see!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语．第一个是： butterfingers，这是指「抓不稳东西、手裡拿的东西经常会掉到地上去」．另外一个常用语是： klutz，是形容「一个人经常跌倒，或者是撞到东西，笨手笨脚的」。
