第八部 第五課: to tick someone off , get lost
- Larry 和李華正在圖書館裡看書，在他們旁邊有個學生在用手機打電話．今天李華會學到兩個常用語： to tick someone off 和 get lost.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- It really ticks me off when people talk so loudly in the library. Don't they realize that other people are trying to study?
- 就是嘛，在圖書館裡這麼大聲說話，真討厭！疑，Larry，你說 tick me off ，那是甚麼意思啊？
- That person ticks me off means he irritates me. To tick someone off is to annoy or irritate someone.
- 哦～， to tick someone off 就是「惹人生氣、讓人討厭」的意思啊．沒錯！那個傢伙說話這麼大聲，害我不能專心看書，哎， Larry，我們是不是該跟他說說啊？
- No, that's okay. I think he's leaving now anyway. Thank God. Besides, that would be a rude thing to say to someone's face.
- 對喔，當眾要他小聲點好像也太厲害、不夠禮貌囉．哎，你看他要走了．啊，謝天謝地．哎，Larry，你知道還有甚麼事 tick me off，惹我生氣的嗎？
- What ticks you off, Li Hua?
- 哼！Smith 教授啊在這個假期裡給我們安排這麼多作業，真是氣人哎！這樣我們根本沒有機會好好休息嘛！
- Yeah, that ticks me off, too, but there's nothing we can do about it. What else ticks you off?
- 說的也是喔，我啊再抱怨，作業還是得做．嗯～，還有甚麼事讓我生氣的啊？哎，對了，我那個同屋啊常常三更半夜才回家，每次都把我吵醒，我一生氣啊就怎麼也睡不著了！
- No wonder you look so tired lately. You should really talk to your roommate about that. You need to sleep.
- 我看起來很累的樣子，是不是啊？哎喲，真糟糕．我是該跟她好好談談，可是這種事情真的很難開口嘛！
- You can just very politely tell her that it really ticks you off when she comes home so late and ask her to try and be more quiet.
- 啊～，很禮貌地告訴她，她那麼晚回來讓我生氣？讓她小聲一點？唉～，我得好好想想啊該怎麼說才不會讓她生氣． I don't want to tick her off.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey, Li Hua, you're still looking really tired today. Didn't you talk to your roommate?
- 唉喲，別提了，我和我同屋說了啊！可是她叫我 get lost．哎， Larry， get lost 那是甚麼意思啊？
- That's so rude! "Get lost" is a rude way of telling someone to leave. She told you in a very rude way to leave her alone.
- 啊～，昨天她說的時候是很不高興的樣子，可是啊我當時不懂甚麼是 get lost．喝！原來是叫我走開，別煩她的意思啊．這可真是粗魯哎．那，我現在該怎麼辦呢？
- Next time she comes home at 2 a.m., I would tell her to get lost and find somewhere else to sleep.
- 啊～，下次她再晚回家，你讓我也對她說 get lost，叫她到別處睡去．那怎麼行啊？
- I know, but she deserves it. Maybe you can look for another roommate. She doesn't sound like a nice person to live with.
- 嗯！你說得沒錯．等我啊找到一個新的同屋，就把她給踢出去．到那個時候啊，我就可以對她說 get lost ！
- That's right. I'm sure you'll tick her off.
- 她要生氣，那真是活該了．哎，對了，Larry，我們剛才啊應該對那個打電話的人說 get lost，對不對？
- We could, but that would be kind of rude. Try not to use "get lost" too much unless you are kidding with someone.
- 哦～，開玩笑的時候也可以說啊．OK, Larry, get lost!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李華學到兩個常用語，一個是： to tick someone off，意思是「惹人生氣、討人厭」．李華學到的另一個常用語是： get lost．意思是「叫人走開，別來煩我」的意思．這是一種非常粗魯的說法。
