今天是星期六,Michael和李华到购物中心去买东西。李华喜欢买衣服,Michael喜欢看电脑, 所以他们决定各自先去买东西,然后中午在吃饭的地方碰头。今天李华会学到两个常用语:to rip off和straight answer。& t  K9 B/ \2 o  ]/ e

9 K1 C4 h$ g4 W. N* BL: 嗨, Michael, 在这儿!- e/ f4 R/ _1 @: C
, [' ^( v5 J- v5 X6 @
M: Hi, Li Hua! Hey, what did you buy?% s  R8 Z) g7 C4 p, `

, f! Z' V, w: |7 a5 H3 R: p/ mL: 今天我真高兴,你看,买了那么多衣服才花了我七十五美元。那 店要关门了,东西全都半价。Michael, 你买了什么?6 T) _2 |4 Y7 J2 _- R! L

( n& S. H) U; o! r! e6 rM: I bought a pair of tennis shoes. When I bought them, I thought it was a good deal, but later I saw the same pair at another store for much less. I got ripped off.
1 m: u" Y% f/ y" \& }: p  [8 n7 t0 U% r3 R+ N2 y
L: 你买了一双网球鞋。让我看看。挺好的嘛!Michael, 你刚才说的 最后一句话我没有听懂,什么是got ripped off? 是不是上当受骗的 意思?' y5 X$ ~2 j% ]
7 q+ O2 t, f$ o% l2 O
M: Yes, to be ripped off means to be cheated.
9 H9 f0 s6 ?! p4 n; L/ }6 u, H8 n& h3 Z9 c9 E4 E" E" h' F
L: 你看,我还猜对了。Michael, 你为什么不把买的网球鞋去退掉, 再到便宜的店去买呢?
: D# L/ q' H+ M. e; B; s! P% g* ^6 E! C: C: q
M: I wanted to do that, but when I went back to the first store, I saw a sign that said "All Sales are Final". So, I guess there's nothing I can really do about it.
6 u, a9 R7 }4 x8 z
: g  X! L5 X' Q2 h; SL: 哟,还不让退货,这可真倒霉。那你买鞋的时候怎么没看见不让 退货的牌子呢?# S/ v3 O' P) ~5 W( Z( [* T

9 I! V0 b9 z: D- U$ `M: I was just too eager to buy these shoes. If you buy something and then find out that it is of poor quality, you can also say you were ripped off.
4 Z6 t0 F. Y. f: W+ C
& Q; a. V1 [# P4 i6 G& |& A8 cL: 噢,买了东西后发现质量很差也可以说to be riffed off。对了,我上 个月从网上买了一部DVD电影,可是我在看电影的时候好几次都卡住 了,害得我连结尾都没看上。6 i7 q, {$ T, ?) y

L: Straight answer? 是什么意思啊?& F# N% C+ b- d% M4 `# S

M: Well, if you are looking for a straight answer, that means you want someone to give you a direct answer and tell you the truth.. K! U& q. |& y: [$ o
/ R- }8 q) X) p( Z/ _8 S
L: 噢,straight answer就是直接了当,或者是实事求是的回答。
; r, d, B, }9 p6 N  ^! D1 D9 H3 P) o, y1 n/ x
M: That's right. For instance, I could see that my last roommate was unhappy living in our apartment, I asked him why, but I could never get him to give me a straight answer.

9 u, {" }' e# e% y- {& W8 rL: 为什么你以前同宿舍的人既不高兴和你住在一起可是又不告诉你 真正的原因呢?后来他不是搬出去了吗?' ~: J6 u# F& r  s* T; X

L: 他搬出去以后才老实地告诉你他是要搬去和女朋友一起住。 我 还以为他不喜欢你把屋子弄得乱糟糟的呢。
5 v+ S8 [. {: |  K; C* K3 i7 Y' f* a# g; S4 M  u, W

That should be "strip off".
