第七部 第二课: dude , chick
- 今天 Larry 和李华在一个朋友家的花园裡参加 party．李华会学到两个常用语： dude 和 chick 。
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Hey Larry，参加 party 的人都挺高兴的，可是 Jack 刚才在那边儿好像和人吵架哎，什麼事呀？
- Oh, Jack and some other dude were having a really intense argument. We were afraid they might get into a fight, so we had to separate them.
- 就是啊，他们吵得挺凶的，好像要动手打起来似的！疑？可是，Larry，你管另外那个人叫什麼啊？ Dude？那是什麼意思啊？
- Dude is another word for guy or man. I just said Jack and "some other dude" were arguing.
- 哦～，dude 是指男人，我还以為是那个人的名字呢！你刚才是说「Jack 和那个人争论得非常激烈」．哎，Larry，那你叫别人 dude 有没有什麼不好的意思啊？
- What? No, of course not. Dude just means guy. However, it is very informal, so you'd sound silly if you called someone important a "dude", or used it in a formal situation.
- 哦～，dude 的这个称呼啊没有贬意，只是一般用在很随便的场合．哎哟，幸亏你告诉了我，要是在正式的场合啊我把某个大人物称為 dude，那可不就出洋相了吗！
- And usually, only younger people use the word "dude", and it usually refers to fairly young men.
- 哦～，dude 一般是年轻人用的词，而且 dude 也是指年轻人．哎，对了，我想起来了，有一次啊我在商店裡就听到两个年轻人用 dude 这个词．我那个时候啊还不懂 dude 是什麼意思． 疑？dude 不就相当於我们中文裡说的「那个傢伙」吗？
- That's right! See that dude over there? That's my pal Frank. I'll ask him for a beer. Hey, dude, toss me one of those beers. Thanks!
- 哎哟，你真好意思哎，自己不去拿啤酒，让你那个 dude 扔过来，幸亏你接得准！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Oh no, Larry，我看见我的同屋朝这边走过来了．要是她看见我啊，她又要缠着我没完没了了。
- What? That tall girl with glasses? Is that the chick you're always telling me about?
- 对，就是那个戴眼镜的高个儿女孩．疑？你叫她什麼啊？ Chick? 哎，Larry，我虽然不喜欢那个女孩儿，可是我也不想用难听的词来骂她哦！
- Huh!? I didn't say any bad words. I said "that chick" means "young woman". It's not a bad word, although some people find it a little offensive.
- 哦～，原来 chick 这个词是指「年轻女孩」呀！哎哟，这要是直接翻译成中文，可不是什麼好词儿．疑？你说在英文裡，chick 不是骂人的话，可是你又说有的人听了会不大高兴，这是怎麼回事儿啊？
- Well, some women find it demeaning - I guess they think that baby chickens are cute but sort of brainless. You can use this word around your friends, but not in formal situations or with strangers.
- 哦～，我懂了，chick 这个词呢本意是「小鸡」，那，小鸡虽然可爱，可是好像没有脑子，傻傻的，所以啊有些女孩儿就不愿意人家叫她 chick．疑？这麼说，可以在熟朋友之间用 chick 这个词，不过，不要在正式场合，或者是叫一个陌生人 chick．哎，Larry，我们啊还是赶快走吧，我可不想让我的同屋啊缠着我不放。
- Hey, there she goes. You're in luck, Li Hua. Your roommate's gone, she just left with two other chicks and that dude who was arguing with Jack.
- 啊？她和另外两个女孩儿一起走啦，还有那个跟 Jack 吵架的dude！哇，真是谢天谢地．这一下啊，我们可以痛痛快快地玩了！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华从 Larry 那儿学到两个常用语，一个是： dude，是口语裡「男孩之间的称呼」，就相当於中文裡所说的「傢伙」．另外一个是： chick，在口语裡指「年轻的女孩儿」。
