第十叁部 第十课: whoa , booboo
- Larry 和李华正在一家洗衣店里面洗衣服。今天李华会学到两个常用语：whoa 和 booboo。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Whoa, Li Hua, don't put so much detergent into the washing machine!
- 我放太多洗衣粉啦？那下回我就少放一些嘛。对了，Larry，你刚才说 whoa，那是西部牛仔经常说的话吗？你刚才说 whoa 是什麼意思呀？
- Li Hua, have you been watching Westerns lately? You are right. Cowboys say "whoa" when they want their horses to slow down.
- 原来我还真猜对了。在西部电影里面，那些牛仔啊经常会说 whoa，就是要他们的马慢下来。所以你刚才说 whoa，就是要我慢一点，不要倒太多洗衣粉下去。
- Right. Whoa, Li Hua, look at all the laundry that guy just brought in!
- 等等，Larry，那个人是拿了一大包脏衣服进来，你说 whoa 是要他慢慢洗啊？你又不认识他，他跟你有什麼关係啊！
- No, this time I used "whoa" to express amazement. I was amazed at the piles of laundry that guy just brought it. "Whoa" is an exclamation and depending on how you say it, it can mean different things.
- 哦～，在这儿的 whoa 是表示惊奇。你说了两次 whao， 可是意思完全不一样。看来，这个 whao 可以表达不同的意思哦。
- You're absolutely right!
- Whoa, Larry，你没有必要摺衣服摺那麼快嘛！我们还有很多衣服要洗耶，得在这儿等上好长时间呢！
- Hey, that was a good use of "whoa."
- 还是得谢谢你这位老师的指导啊！Whoa, Larry，你看到那个人换了多少硬币要来洗衣服啊？
- The guy with all the laundry? He's going to need a lot of quarters to do all of that laundry. Oh, hey, my next load of laundry is done. Let me take it out.
- Whoa, Larry, 你的白衬衫怎麼全变成粉红色的啦？
- I think you've mastered the use of "whoa," Li Hua.
- Whoa, Larry, 我不过是用你刚教的常用语开开玩笑嘛。不过啊，你的白衬衣是变成粉红色的啦！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Oh, boy, Li Hua, I made a big booboo.
- 你做了什麼啊？ a booboo?
- Yeah, a booboo means a big mistake! I left a red sock in with my white t-shirts and underwear. Now everything is pink.
- Booboo 就是犯了个大错误。原来你把一隻红袜子丢进去和白衬衫一块洗啊，怪不得现在它们都成了粉红衬衫了。没关係啦，Larry，犯错误的人啊多着呢，我啊昨天也犯了个大错 - a booboo。
- What was that?
- 我啊，我把钱包和钥匙放在厨房的桌子上，走出了家才想起来，所以就把钥匙给锁在家里囉。
- That was a booboo, all right. How did you fix your booboo?
- 还能怎麼办，只好请锁匠来开门。当然啦，就是得花钱，破财消灾嘍！Larry，我来帮你啊把这些粉红衬衫放到烘乾机里吧！
- Thanks. Hey, Li Hua, do you see that kid over there with the booboo on his knee?
- The kid with a booboo on his knee? 你是说坐在那儿，那个膝盖上贴绷带的小孩啊？
- Yeah, I saw him fall down earlier and get a booboo. He just scraped his knee a little. He cried, but his mom cheered him up.
- 哦～，你看到他摔下来，膝盖受伤啦？等等，Larry，这麼说，booboo 除了指错误，也可以指受伤，对吗？
- Right, but not a serious injury. . . Oh, Li Hua, watch out for the door of the dryer!
- Ow! 好痛喔！ 我的手指给烘乾机的门夹到了。
- Oh, let me see. Look, you've got a booboo, too!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语。第一个是 whoa，这个词有几种意思，它可以指嘿，慢一点儿。也可以表示很惊奇。李华学到的另一个常用语就是：booboo。Booboo 也有两种意思。一个是指错误，另外也可以指受伤。
