第十一部 第十四课: boss , mob scene
- Larry 和李华正在中央公园等着听音乐.那裡举行的户外摇滚乐演唱会马上就要开始.今天李华会学到两个常用语: boss 和 mob scene。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, I can't wait for the band to start playing. The last concert I went to by this band was totally boss.
- 你说上回去听这个乐队演出怎麼啦? Boss?那不是指监督工作的老闆吗?
- Right, but when I said the concert was boss, I meant it was really great.
- 啊? Boss 在这裡是形容演唱会很棒的意思,可是, Boss 跟很棒有什麼关係呀?
- You know how a boss is above his employees and tells them what to do? Something that is boss is above the others. And better than the rest.
- 哦~,因為老闆,也就是 boss 比其他人啊更能干,指挥手下的人干活儿,所以啊就是棒!那我很喜欢星际大战电影裡的特效,我能不能说 they were boss?
- The special effects in the new Star Wars movie were boss. They were much better than in the older Star Wars movies.
- 对,我同意.新的星际大战裡面啊特效要比以前的星际大战更棒. Larry,你有没有看到 Rick 买的新车呀?
- Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Fire engine red with leather seats and a sunroof. That is definitely one boss car.
- 哼~,我可不喜欢那大红顏色,像救火车.可是啊皮座垫和天窗我倒很喜欢喔. Larry,要是我认為一样东西不太棒,那该怎麼说呀?
- If you don't think something is that great, you can say something is not so boss.
- 要是今天的演出很棒,我就可以说: They are boss! 但是上个星期的表演不怎麼样,所以就是: They weren't so boss.
- You are right, in fact. Last week's act wasn't so boss. I was there.
- 嘿!你看!乐团出来了.哇!他们的服装好棒喔! So boss!
- And wait until you hear the lead guitarist start playing. I think you'll find he is pretty boss, too.
- 你说那吉他手也很棒呀?哎,那他肯定很有名,对不对?嘘!哎,要开场了.别说话了!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- What a mob scene! The concert is over and now there are people everywhere.
- 就是啊,演唱会一结束,大家都抢着要回家,你瞧这人群啊!疑?Larry,什麼是 mob scene?
- Well, a mob scene, is a big group of people, who are acting in a random and disorderly way.
- 哦~, mob scene 就是指乱糟糟的一大群人.上个星期啊我去看星际大战电影的首映,买票的人排着队打闹说笑,有票的人在门口等着开场. That was a real mob scene.
- Yes, the theaters were mobbed for the opening of Star Wars. I am going to wait a few weeks to see it when the lines will be shorter.
- 早知道啊首映的时候会那麼多人,我也该像你这样,等几个星期再去看看,就不必排那麼长的队了. Larry,我们现在该往哪儿走呀?我们得脱离这个 mob scene 才行啊,不然我们什麼时候才能到家呀!
- Well, the subway will probably also be mobbed. It will be just as much of a mob scene on the train as it is here.
- 啊?连地铁也会像这裡一样挤满人啊?那我们别去和人挤了.我们先走一段路吧!
- Okay, Li Hua, I've got an idea about how to get away from this mob. Follow me. I know a shortcut!
- 哟,你还知道小路呢.你早说嘛!

- 今天李华学到了两个常用语.第一个是: boss,这是「很棒、很好」的意思.另一个常用语是: mob scene,这是指「人很多的场面」。
