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。- `6 h) S) Z* E

L：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？6 o4 V6 X$ r2 ~* v

M：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way.: w3 S# E9 ~4 V# d
. k* M; A! h1 P4 ]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。" Z4 X" n) n) x- }- i

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。 , D; l8 y( ?8 o; @+ L 9 U0 [5 g' K, D1 l5 J2 }# H! `Audio as following: 1 h' S1 @, ?! s! m4 M 1 ]# F, Y1 U$ R4 y/ r
