第叁部 第十课: to be into , geek
- 今天 Michael 和李华一起温习功课，在他们两人对话的时候，李华学到了两个新词儿: to be into 和 geek 。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 嗨，Michael! 我马上要考试了，你帮我温习一下功课好不好？疑？你在看什麼书啊？ 啍，是本漫画呀？
- Hmmm, Yes, it is a comic book. I really used to be into comic books when I was a high school, but now I don't have much time to read them.
- 「Be into」 漫画书，你是说你喜欢把头埋在漫画书裡边儿啊？
- Well, not exactly. Be, b-e, Into, i-n-t-o. 「to be into」 means to be very interested in something, and know a lot about it.
- 哦～，原来你说的 to be into 指的是一种嗜好。疑？可是我以為，只有小孩儿才看漫画书的。你～未免年纪也太大了点儿吧？
- Please! Comic books are not only for children. A lot of people my age are into comic books. And in Japan, everybody reads them, young or old.
- 哎，那 Michael , 你还有其它哪些嗜好呢？
- Well, I am into dancing, and I am also into camping and watching sports.
- 嗯！我就不喜欢看体育节目，我啊倒是对连续剧挺感兴趣的呢。
- Why are you still into soap operas? They are so boring! At least the people who play sports are real!
- 哎～，你看你的漫画书，我看我的连续剧。而且啊，我还有些真正的嗜好啊。举例说，啊－，我就对中国书法很有兴趣，只不过啊，我的字老写不好。
- That's not true! I think your calligraphy is very good. You have been into calligraphy for a long time, haven't you?
- 是没错啦，我很小的时候，我妈就逼着我练字了。那时候啊，我一点也不喜欢，不过现在啊，我还真感激她那时逼着我练字呢！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎，Michael，你是不是该停下来，别再看那漫画书啦，我们该开始复习功课了。
- Li Hua, you sound like my mother. Anyway, I can't put this comic book down. I am such a comic book geek.
- 啊？你说你是什麼啊？一个 geek ？那是什麼意思啊？
- Well, a "geek" is someone who spends all of their time with their special interests or hobbies. They are more concerned about their hobbies than being "cool" or making friends.
- 哦～，那这个 geek 是怎麼拼的啊？这个字听起来好怪喔。
- Geek, g-e-e-k.
- 哎，Michael，那～这样的话，我能不能说篮球名将 Michael Jordan 他是一个篮球 geek 呢？
- Well, not really. Geeks are not usually into playing sports. They like things like comic books, computers, collecting stamps, and reading science fiction books.
- 嗯～，这样说来，一个 geek 他所喜欢的东西，大部份是要用脑筋和想像力的，但是不需要身体劳动。有点类似书獃子喔，我想在美国啊被人叫着 geek 可不是件好事呢！
- That sounds about right. Geeks often put their hobbies before other things, such as their social life, meeting girls, gaining a useful education.
- 啊哈！你就是一个道地的 geek! 你啊，就情愿看漫画书而不肯学习。
- Gee, thanks Li Hua. Anyway, I am not completely a geek. I do study hard most of the time. I do like to dance, and I do have a lot of female friends.
- 好了好了，那我就算你是半个 geek 好了．
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天 Michael 和李华二个人本来是要在一起温习功课的，结果聊起了 to be into 和 geek 这两个新词儿．李华现在明白了 to be into 就是「一个人对某件事物特别有兴趣」． geek 是说「一个人只花时间在他有兴趣的嗜好上，别的都不管不顾」，有点像书獃子。
