第十五部 第七课: classic , go for it
- Larry 和李华在看篮球比赛，交战的一方是姚明所属的休士顿火箭队，另一方是迈阿密的热火队。李华会学到两个常用语：classic 和 go for it。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Wow, Li Hua, did you see that shot by Yao Ming? Now, that was classic!
- 看到了，姚明的投篮真是一流的！你说that was classic!就是这个意思吧。
- Yes, classic means something that is really good or especially well done.
- 要是姚明的队能赢就太好了。 It will be classic。
- I'm not sure that they will. Did you see that Miami Heat player steal the ball? Now that was a classic move!
- 迈阿密热火队虽然抢到了球，这并不保证他们就会赢呀！你看，姚明队的队员紧紧地盯着对方，他们根本没有机会投篮。哎， 你看哪！火箭队的吉祥物火箭熊跑到比赛场上来了？
- That is really funny! That is just classic.
- 火箭熊在场上干扰比赛，你还说是classic。 不是说classic是好事吗，这有什麼好的呢？
- Oh, things that are classic are good. Clutch the Bear is doing a good job as a mascot. His prank is well-done and that is why it is classic.
- 原来火箭熊是出来表演！ 火箭熊玩的把戏倒是很精彩，真是一流的。哎， 说到可笑的事情，你听过 Bob的笑话吗？
- Oh, yeah, Bob has so many jokes and almost everyone of them, I should say, is classic.
- 是啊， 不知道他哪儿来的那麼多笑话。每个笑话都很妙，有的时候笑得我肚子都痛了。
- I remember sometimes you laughed so hard that you cried, Li Hua. Now, I have to say, your response was classic.
- 有的时候我真的笑得肚子都痛了。 可这有什麼好不好的？
- Of course, it showed you have a great sense of humor.
- 那倒是，有的人对笑话毫无反应。Hey, look, Larry, 迈阿密热火队领先了！
- Whoooooo-eeeeeee! Alright! Awesome!
- Wow, Larry, 我要是有相机一定把你站在沙发上乱蹦的样子拍下来，Now that would be classic!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Look at Yao Ming setting up his free throw. He is really taking too much time. He should just go for it.
- 轮到姚明罚球了。你说姚明应当Go for it? 这是什麼意思呢？
- Oh, to go for it means to do something without thinking too much about it and ignoring the risks. Yao Ming should just take his free throw and get on with the game.
- 我明白了， go for it的意思是不要犹豫不决、要全力以赴。姚明罚球是有点不紧不慢的，不过这是他的风格呀。太快了，可能投不中。糟糕！姚明罚球没中！
- That's too bad. Say, speaking of going for it, I hear you are thinking of applying for a full-time teaching job.
- 是啊，我打算申请一个全职的教师工作，不过还没有最后决定呢。
- I think you should go for it, Li Hua.
- 我知道应该去争取， 可是那个工作在外州， 一想到搬家我就头痛。
- But if you don't go for it, you may never know if the job is good or not.
- 这我也知道， 要不做那个工作就永远也不知道这工作好不好。不过，我也不想搬到外州后，万一不理想再搬回来。
- That is just one of the chances you have to take when you go for it.
- 当然任何事情都有风险，找工作也一样。
- Li Hua, sometimes when you go for it, good things happen.
- 积极找工作有时会有好的结果？万一工作不满意怎麼办？
- Well, my friend Bob saw a posting for a job he was interested in and decided to go for it. But his boss didn't want to see him go and gave him a really big raise.
- Bob真走运。 老闆听见他要走就给他加工资。 我要碰到这种老闆，那该多好呀！
- I think you should apply for that teaching job. You really should go for it!
- 让我想想再说。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是 classic, 意思是优秀的、一流的。还有一个是 go for it，意思是不犹豫、全力争取。
