第十八部 第十五课: heartthrob , gaga
- 李华告诉 Larry 说，情人节那天，她班上的一个男生收到了很多女孩子送的花。李华今天要学两个常用语，heartthrob 和 gaga.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- So, this student walked into your classroom on Valentine's Day and THREE different girls gave him flowers? He must be the campus heartthrob.
- 如果你说的heartthrob, 是指让人迷恋的对象，那没错，他可以校园名人，学校裡喜欢他的女孩子一大堆。
- A heartthrob is a male that is adored by women. Someone who is a heartthrob, literally makes women's hearts throb.
- 这种说法真形象！让人心跳的男人就是heartthrob. 送花的那叁个女生迷他迷得不行，我真担心会影响到她们的成绩。
- What makes this heartthrob so attractive to these girls? Is he handsome? Is he friendly? Is he a good student? Is he an athlete?
- 他确实各方面都很出眾，不仅长得一表人才，而且很随和、学习成绩优秀，而且还是校队橄欖球队的队长。
- Well, it is no wonder he is such a heart throb. He sounds like the perfect guy.
- 差不多吧。不过还是不如布拉德.皮特完美。Brad Pitt is a real heart throb.
- You are not the first woman who has told me Brad Pitt is the perfect man. I guess I don't understand why he is such a heart throb.
- 这有什麼难理解的。(Dreamily)你看他那金髮碧眼，他的微笑能让人溶化，还有他的身材和肌肉....
- Okay, okay. That's enough, Li Hua. I get it! I understand why Brad Pitt is such a heartthrob.
- 对不起，Larry，一提起Brad Pitt，我就无法控制自己。
- So, Brad Pitt is a big heartthrob in America. How about in China? Who is the biggest Chinese heart throb?
- 那可能要算香港的电影影星刘德华了。
- I have heard of Andy Lau. Isn't he too old to be a heart throb?
- 年轻的也有，不过我已经赶不少潮流了。
- Well, it must be hard to be a heartthrob with girls following you everywhere. I'm glad I don't have that problem. I mean, I'm not much of a heartthrob.
- 肯定有什麼女孩子為你心动的，你不知道罢了。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- So, let's talk about these girls in your class some more, Li Hua. When they go gaga over this heart throb in class, what do you do to get their attention?
- Gaga是什麼意思？听起来不像英文啊？
- Gaga is, in fact, a French world borrowed into English, Li Hua. "Gaga" is a word that suggests some one who is mentally confused or silly.
- 我班上那几个女孩子可都是好学生，她们的脑子可没问题。
- "To *go* gaga" means to like something so much that you act like an idiot. It means you can't think of anything else besides the thing you are "gaga" over.
- 噢，to go gaga是被弄得晕头转向的意思。要是这麼说，I guess the girls do go gaga over him.
- What about the boy students in your class? Is there a girl in class that they go gaga over?
- 我们班上倒是没有什麼特别招人的女生，但是学校裡所有男生都围着啦啦队的女孩子们转。
- Well, cheerleaders are usually very attractive and physically fit. It's no wonder guys go gaga for cheer leaders.
- 那你呢，Larry? 有什麼人让你晕头转向的吗？
- Well, Li Hua, I'm not really dating any one right now, so there is no one I am really gaga over, but there is something I'm really gaga for.
- 什麼东西让你gaga for?
- I'm really gaga for computers. I think working with computers is so interesting, and I love playing computer games.
- 我对电脑可没兴趣。每天坐在电脑前面写论文，我恨不得离电脑远远的。
- Well, what do you go gaga over, Li Hua?
- 我呀，喜欢看八卦杂誌，瞭解象Brad Pitt这些明星的最新动向。
- We're back to Brad Pitt again?! Fine. You can go gaga over Brad Pitt, Li Hua. I'll stick with my computer.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是 heartthrob, 指让人心动的男人。另一个是 gaga, 指被什麼人或是什麼事弄得晕头转向。
