第九部 第叁课: to level with someone , clueless
- Larry 和李华正在乘公共汽车去公园去溜冰．今天李华会学到两个常用语： to level with someone 和 clueless.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- I have to level with you, Li Hua. I'm not very fond of ice-skating. I haven't done it in years.
- To "level with me?"， Level 是「水平」的意思．你是说你溜冰的水平和我不一样啊？疑！你又没看过我溜冰，怎麼知道我的水平呢？
- No, "to level with someone" is to be direct and honest.
- 哦～， to level with someone，就是「向人诚实、坦白」的意思啊．嘿！那～，我也得和你老实说了，我啊根本不太会溜冰．我只是想去看看歷史课的同学 Jake，他说啊他今天会去公园溜冰，可是我又不想一个人去，所以 .....
- Now, the truth comes out! Come on, level with me, do you have a crush on Jake?
- 嗯～，我是挺喜欢他的．不过啊，我想和他多聊聊，看看我是不是真喜欢他。
- Well, Li Hua, I have to level with you and say that you might not make the best impression on Jake if you're falling all of the time.
- 对哎，我啊要是老摔倒，他看见了怎麼会对我有好印象呢！嗯！我还是少溜一点，站在一旁看别人溜吧！
- Hey, that's not fair! You drag me ice skating and now you aren't going to ice skate?
- 哎哟，对不起嘛！我把你拖来溜冰自己又不溜． To level with you，我来之前啊根本就没想那麼多！
- That's obvious. I think you might as well level with Jake and ask him to help you.
- 对哎！我怎麼没想到？我可以叫 Jake 教我溜冰啊！嗯～，可是 Larry，那你怎麼办啊？
- Then I'll just sit and watch while you and your new boyfriend skate around on the ice.
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- Li Hua, I think I'll skate after all, but I'm really clueless about ice-skating. How do I put these skates on?
- 怎麼穿溜冰鞋啊！把鞋带繫好就行了啦！疑？对了，你刚才说"clueless"，那是什麼意思啊？
- Okay. If someone is "clueless" it means that he or she has no idea what they are doing.
- 哦～， clueless 就是什麼也不懂．我虽然会穿溜冰鞋，可是对溜冰啊，我也是一窍不通吶！ I'm also clueless about ice-skating.
- Great. This is the blind leading the blind. We're both more or less clueless. Do you see your friend Jake? Maybe he can help us.
- 嗯～，我没看到 Jake，也许 ... 他不来了。
- Li Hua, is Jake really coming? If he is, what time is he supposed to come here?
- 嗯…，我不知道哎。
- You're not sure or you're clueless?
- 哎哟！好啦好啦， to level with you，我就听他说了一声今天会来滑冰．我根本不知道他到底什麼时候来嘛！
- Li Hua, what were you thinking?
- Larry，对不起嘛！我很喜欢 Jake，可是，我不知道该怎麼接近他，怎麼样进一步瞭解他。
- Oh, I understand. Yeah, sometimes I'm clueless about girls, too. Everyone feels that way sometimes. Don't worry; I'll help you find an excuse to talk to Jake.
- 真的吗！ Wow! Larry，你真好．有你帮忙啊，我就放心了．看样子我们在这儿也没别的事可做．那就一块儿溜冰囉！来吧！
- ………………………………………………………………………………
- 今天李华学到了两个常用语，一个是: to level with someone，意思是「向人坦白说实话」．另一个常用语是： clueless，意思是「对某件事情什麼也不知道」。
