第九部 第一课: to be beat , to O.D. on something
- 今天 Larry 和李华花了大半天时间在购物中心裡，採购圣诞礼物．今天李华会学到两个常用语： to be beat 和 to O.D. on something.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- The mall was so crowded! I'm totally beat from fighting the crowds all day long.
- 就是啊！我啊从来没有看过这麼多人一块儿逛街．哎？Larry，你刚才说 I'm beat，是不是说我们挤在人群裡的时候，有人打你啊？
- No, nobody hit me. The expression "I'm beat" means, "I'm exhausted."
- 哦～，原来 I'm beat，不是打的意思，而是累坏啦．其实啊，我也好累喔．你想想我们在这儿花了 6 个小时哎，怎麼可能不累。
- It would have taken only two hours at most if we didn't have to spend so much time waiting in line to pay for things. I bet the sales people are really beat by the end of the day.
- 你说的没错，光是付钱啊，我们就花了很多时间排队．我看啊，那些售货员一天下来肯定累坏囉。
- Well, I'm glad I don't work in a store. I'm so beat that I think I'm going to go to bed very early tonight. What about you?
- 我也累死了，今晚啊可能也得早点睡了．嘿！Larry，如果说我逛街逛累了，我是不是能说 shopping beat me?
- No, you can only say, "I'm beat from shopping."
- 哦～，这麼说，下星期我要準备期末考试，我应该说： Next week, I'll be beat from studying for my final exams.
- Please, don't mention exams. I'm beat just thinking about studying for them.
- 哎，Larry，你也别这麼想嘛！準备的时候是很累；可是，考试如果考得好，不也是很高兴的事嘛！
- That's true. I hope my family members appreciate the effort I put into finding their Christmas presents.
- 你花了那麼大的功夫买来的礼物，你家人啊一定会喜欢的．唉！我们俩都累了，还是回家吧．明天见囉！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 嘿， Larry，你好一点了吗？还是你仍然觉得很累啊？
- I'm afraid I'm not feeling much better. I caught a cold and then I O.D.ed on cold medicine. Now, I feel really tired and spacey.
- 什麼，你感冒啦？你还说你 O.D. 了一些感冒药．那是什麼意思啊？严不严重啊？
- "To O.D. on something" is short for "to overdose on something."
- 啊～，O.D. 就是服药过量？那不是很危险吗？你是不是该去医院检查一下啊？
- No, don't worry. Usually, O.D.ing on medicine or drugs is very serious, but I probably took a little bit too much cold medicine, not enough to hurt me.
- 哦～，那就好！你啊刚才真把我吓了一跳呢．其实我也不太舒服，我啊看了好几个小时的书哦，现在头好疼呢！
- Hey, please don't mention exams and studying. I don't even want to think about exams now that I have a cold!
- 好啦！我不再提唸书和考试了嘛！Larry，也许你应该少吃些感冒药，多多睡觉．这样啊或许会感觉好一些。
- I think O.D.ing on some more sleep is a good advice, it's probably the only way I'm going to get through exams with a cold.
- 那好，如果你想多睡觉、多休息；我啊，可要多叫点比萨来吃，我快饿坏了！
- I wouldn't mind having some pizza, too. Order enough for both of us.
- Larry，如果你还能感觉肚子饿，那你肯定没有病的太严重啦！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到两个常用语，第一个是： to be beat，意思是「因為做某件事而累坏了」，就是 to be beat from something；第二个常用语是： to O.D. on something，意思是「对某个东西服用过量」。
