第二部 第一课: to goof off , to hit the sack
- Michael 和李华今天早上都有课，现在正往课堂走．李华今天会学到两个常用语： to goof off 和 to hit the sack。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Michael，别往我头上扔雪块了，行吗？你怎麼像个小孩呀！
- Li Hua, I'm just goofing off.
- 你啊，就是讨厌．我不懂什麼是 goofing off.
- Actually Li Hua, to goof off does mean that I'm acting stupid and not being serious. You know, Goof is spelled g-o-o-f, and Off is o-f-f, Goof is a verb.
- 哦～， to goof off 就是干无聊的事，哎，那你确实很无聊哎，老向我扔雪块。
- To goof off is a great term. Young people use it a lot. It is often used to describe how young people are behaving.
- 年轻人经常会用 to goof off 来形容别人的行為？我记得啊，唸中学时，班上有个学生老是打断老师的话，喜欢开玩笑，那～，你可以说这个学生是 goofing off 吗？
- Yeah, that's right. Children or young people often goof off. Do you remember when we were at the movies and those high school students threw candy at the screen, you could say they were goofing off.
- 对，没错，小孩啊和年轻人经常会做一些无聊的事开玩笑．我才不会忘记啊我们那一次去看电影的事呢．那几个中学生啊，往银幕上扔糖果，真是太无聊了，他们还以為好玩呢。
- To tell you the truth, when I went to the library in high school with my roommates we would usually waste time and ended up goofing off.
- 你是说，你在唸中学时跟同学去图书馆唸书，结果在那儿互相扔纸球呀？
- Yeah, that's right.
- 怪不得你一开始考不上大学呢！行啦，教室到了，哎，下课啊等我一起去图书馆，不过，你可千万不要 goof off 喔。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 噢，这课真是枯燥无味．我最讨厌晚上上课，每次上完课啊，我都感到很累喔。
- That's right. Even though it's not that late, I'm ready to hit the sack!
- 啊～？你说什麼？你要去捅一个口袋？ Sack 不是麻袋吗？我以為你很累了，你现在还要去运动啊？
- No, no. It's a colloquial saying. I mean I'm going to bed. Sack, s-a-c-k, here means bed, and Hit, h-i-t, means going to.
- 哦～，原来 to hit the sack 是指去睡觉， sack 呢～，在这裡是指床，那 hit 就是去床上睡觉的意思．哎， Michael，那我要坐下，我能不能说 to hit the chair 呢？
- Hmmm, No, not really. This phrase -- to hit the sack -- has a pretty limited meaning.
- 哦～， to hit the sack 只能说是去睡觉，别的地方还不能用啊！嗯～，那要是我下午想睡个午睡，我能不能说： I want to hit the sack.？
- No, it's usually used to talk about going to bed at night, after a long day at work or school.
- 哦～，午睡也不能用啊，这只能指一天工作和学习以后晚上去睡觉．哎，那现在我已经上了一天的学，再加上晚上上了这个枯燥无味的课，我总可以说： It's time for me to hit the sack．对不对？
- That's correct, Li Hua. But don't forget that we have a test tomorrow.
- 我当然不会忘掉明天的考试囉。
- Ok, now go hit the sack, but after tomorrow's test we will have to study seriously for next week's test, no more goofing off.
- 好，明天你想好好学习，為下星期的考试作準备．没问题，我帮你準备，我们俩啊，都会考得很好。
- Yeah, I'm going to hit the sack. Bye, Li Hua!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Michael 今天教李华两个常用语，一个是： to goof off，意思是「做一些无聊的事、开玩笑」；另一个是： to hit the sack，这是指「晚上上床睡觉」。
