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。 3 R D$ @& n3 `8 [* r8 G' ?; j7 b4 t" U' ]0 u8 f3 R

M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades? If I don't do well, I won't get a good job later on." d3 p: T- M4 O

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。; D* O6 l. n- h

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。。。 $ m3 ~" Z. n- a. j5 l+ t/ m0 H$ U2 v4 Z

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。 $ m3 ~! `1 u1 T" K+ p % U0 [0 S+ r! S0 D; ^9 h2 QAudio as following:# W+ R! b4 E7 n
