Michael这个美国学生由于各方面的压力太大而情绪不太好。今天他想去找李华一起出去放松放松。现在他正在敲李华的门。Michael会教李华两个常用语：to play hooky和to snap。7 f* h' `* I! P- T+ Q( x

L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？3 f) w o! a: J1 k7 D

L：哟，哪儿来那么大的火气呀！我知道你不是经常逃学，你学习很努力，争取得到好分数，将来找一份好工作。你不用发那么大的脾气嘛！ 5 i! p! S: q* T/ M3 i& R0 v0 Y7 t. X5 s- B: \, g
M：I'm sorry, Li Hua. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that right now I'm so stressed. That's part of the reason why I didn't go to class today. 7 ]# W q% U9 \1 l) @" g # e% q" U) F" B$ c5 `# GL：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ 8 S3 }: g* s+ \/ H / D6 m t0 L% \. ]/ C$ i) Q5 B; GM：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way. 8 [5 c% z) \, r5 k4 d# s0 {: ~9 N0 ~4 _2 {1 v: z6 }5 m
L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 7 y. b0 G& y2 x& v, o1 O n/ L 8 A/ B. {* G! l6 a$ b8 r* v8 ]M：Yeah, but that's no excuse for snapping at you. I know you didn't mean to make me angry.# p' }' A8 ]" J3 @. K: z

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 ( y: ~2 P0 C8 x: C* [ [; H 5 [/ k7 W* d2 P5 m+ b. TM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home. 7 c# h4 E6 F* l' D& N1 \3 c+ _' q& |& M$ u8 k' J2 ^
L：对，他是说他妈妈骂他因为他打破了一个花瓶。可是，Michael，这里的snap是过去时，那该怎么拼呢？ . o! d# o% F# d }) [9 R0 X , _# N: W9 {% `3 ^: ]M：Past tense for snap is s-n-a-p-p-e-d. I can say, "I snapped at you but I apologized."0 [) \# n! q( h* G2 S0 l

今天李华又从Michael那儿学到两个常用语，to play hooky就是逃学，或者装病不去上班；to snap就是对某人嚷嚷，很生气地对某人说话。这次<流行美语>播送完了，下次节目再见。3 X8 K; v+ @! E- s' X' k8 {
