李华是在纽约上大学的中国学生。今天她的美国同学Michael 陪她练习开车,准备去考驾照。他们在路上几次遇到惊险的情况,尽管这样,李华还是学到了两个常用语,一个是:cop; 另一个是:to freak out.9 P; y& l7 Q5 s6 r0 c/ K* O4 _

M:Your driving is getting better, Li Hua. Hey, you'd better slow down. This is a 35 mile per hour zone.
1 O7 S8 G6 T' n% N4 `
! c* c" q" S' uL:这地区每小时只能开35英里呀?我是不是开太快啦?哟,我的天呐,警察车跟在我后面,那怎么办呐?
- {* N6 m# ]8 H0 U/ P6 z
2 ~; P; N8 n* K( xM:Calm down, Li Hua. Just find a parking lot and stop the car. The cop will follow us, and come over to your window to talk to you.

6 m( s$ H  o: ?* Y& ^" J0 r
4 t% Y5 c7 P: h5 w5 t7 wM:Calm down! Sometimes the cops stop people just to warn them, not to give them a ticket. You weren't going very fast anyway.
/ l5 N; [" V0 E% C6 W4 Y; F' o7 ~* Z/ g
L:你说警察可能过来只是警告我一下,不一定会给我罚单呀?但愿如此,我好象是没有开太快。Michael, 你刚才说"cops", 那警车里到底有几个警察呀?; B6 W: d5 O% U6 P
- q% c. M8 N4 b
M:When I say "the cops", I mean the police in general. I'm not talking about any cop in particular./ M! o+ B- n+ Q8 O5 n8 a

9 t6 S# j' b1 w' a4 f* @5 jL:噢,cop 这个名词用复数的时候,cops, 可以总的指警察,而不是指某个警察。 我就把车停这儿吧。 Michael, 我能称呼警察"cop"吗?# ^% U5 x1 P" [  T9 T5 [# s
4 B' e: Q1 E- a0 r* k8 ^0 P
M:No! The word "cop" is too informal. You should show respect when talking to the cops. Call him "officer", don't call him "cop"!. W. }% S$ h: d2 D' Q

7 k7 V9 G3 A0 Y9 C4 D; \: `& rL:天哪!原来"cop"是很随便的称呼,你干吗不早告诉我呀!我可不要惹警察生气!# E* ~3 T6 u/ b4 a

M:I told you not to freak out. If a cop sees that you are nervous, he will be even more suspicious of you.
/ m: s0 `, @5 ^. o) _5 b9 Z2 h# T# m8 ^4 w& r: P: N, f! O
L:你告诉我什么?叫我别下车?
8 X' ?6 u. m! u. l3 b6 I; V% d% `; u" i6 H0 {2 \+ O
M:No, I told you not to "freak out". "Freak out" means to panic or to act crazy and excited.6 j/ q" m6 [3 M6 j& X$ I

+ Y' ?% H  d! x" uL:是啊, 我经常听到一些人说 freak out,原来是指过于激动,显得非常紧张。对不对?2 X# N# v8 j' R5 X4 E

M:Because this is my car, and you only have a learner's permit. I'd be responsible if you got in trouble.
  Q. U! m: W& Z; c# j( X/ ]3 ?7 D7 A+ g# z  L( |; j0 @
L:这我就不懂了。是的,这是你的车,我只有一张学开车的许可证。可是,我开车出了问题,为什么警察会怪你呀?你为什么要freak out?# c9 q5 n; E! Y* X/ R; T; o

L:对,刚才是够险的,警察要看到他那么开车,准要给他罚单。不过,今天已经和警察打过交道了,够了。再要跟cops打交道,那我可真是要freak out了。2 L9 M$ |+ x, E& `: j" \

今天这两个年轻人真是够惊险的。不过,李华学到了两个非常有用的词汇: cop, 警察;to freak out,非常紧张和激动。这次<流行美语>到此结束,我们下次再会。8 _, k7 k0 u  D0 X$ M
