第五部 第一课: 24-7 , duh
- Michael 和李华正在尽情享受这星期才开始的假期．今天他们去参加了一个音乐会．Michael 教会李华两个常用语：24-7 和 duh。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎，Michael，这个音乐会啊真不错，就是太长了．我啊快要饿死了！快点找地方吃东西吧！
- Alright. There's a cafe on the corner over there, I think it's open 24-7.
- 哎，对哎，前面就有家咖啡馆．疑？你说那个 cafe 24-7 , 24-7 那是什麼意思呀？
- I said it's open 24-7. You know the number 24, and seven, right? 24-7 means it is open all the time.
- 哦～，我知道了！就是说一天二十四小时，一个星期七天它都开门，对不对？
- You've got it! In the U.S. a lot of small diners, convenience stores and gas stations are open 24-7.
- 对哎，我看到一些小饭馆，还有一些杂货店，还有加油站，他们都是二十四小时营业的．Michael, 那 24-7 是不是只能够用在商店哪？
- Oh, not at all! It can be used for anything. For instance, Li Hua, if you ever have an emergency, you can call me any time, 24-7.
- 哦，24-7 可以用在任何场合啊．哎，你说，要是我遇到紧急情况，可以在任何时候打电话给你．Michael, 你真的是太好了．不过啊，我想我可能会先打给 911。
- Yeah, that's probably a better idea. 911 operates 24-7. Li Hua, can you use this phrase now?
- 哼！让我想一想．哎，有了．期终考试以前啊，我肯定很多人都為了準备考试，交报告就晚上开夜车，所以可以说：Many students worked 24-7 before the finals. 对不对？
- You're right. I was also up 24-7 studying and writing before the finals.
- 唉啊，那最后一个礼拜啊，真是够呛，现在啊我们总算轻鬆了。
- That's right! Woo Hoo! Hey, after we eat, let's go dancing somewhere.
- 啊？ Michael，你还没有玩够呀！
- Now that we are on vacation, I'm ready to party 24-7!
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 哎， Michael，这个饭馆有开吗？
- Well, duh, Li Hua! The lights are on and there are people inside. What do you think?
- 你说什麼啊？ Duh? 那是骂人的意思吗？
- No, I didn't say anything bad! All I said was "duh". When someone says something that you think is very obvious, or asks you a stupid question, you can say "duh".
- Duh！ 那你就是说，我刚才问饭馆有没有开门是个傻问题，所以你就说：duh！疑？那就像是我们中文裡说的 「废话」 的意思嘛！哦，Michael, 那他们这裡有卖咖啡吗？
- Duh, Li Hua. Of course they have coffee here. Practically every restaurant in the States has coffee.
- 哎，Michael, 我只不过随便问一句，你就又来 duh, duh, duh 的，真讨厌吶！
- Oooh! Sounds like you are getting a little grumpy, Li Hua. I guess you are pretty tired, huh?
- Duh, Michael! 现在都已经半夜一点半了哎，你还问我累不累？我才该对你说 "duh" !
- Ok, Ok, I'll just get a coffee to go, and give you a ride home. It sounds like you need some sleep.
- Duh! 我当然想睡觉了喔！不过啊，买了咖啡在路上喝，然后你开车送我回家，这倒是个好主意。
- I see you are not the kind of person who like to party 24-7!
- Duh! 我睏成这样，你看我是个喜欢整天整夜 party 的人吗？
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 李华今天学到两个常用语，一个是： 24-7，意思是「一天二十四小时，一周七天都工作」，或者是「成天成夜地干什麼事儿」．另一个是： duh，意思是「废话、当然囉！」。
