流行美语第68课：好惊讶哦！ -(韦博分享)流行美语第68课：好惊讶哦！ -(韦博分享)Michael和李华正在教室里等着上课。今天李华会学到两个常用语：gee和oh well.L: Michael, 你听说了没有，Professor Johnson的车坏了，这节课取消了。M: His car broke down? (sarcastically) Gee. thats too bad! I was really looking forward to Professor Johnsons class!L: 你不是最讨厌上Professor Johnson的课吗？你说geeeee, 这是什么意思啊？M: (sighs) Come on, Li Hua! Dont you know what sarcasm is? Of course I dont like that class!L: 噢，你是在说反话！哎哟，你们美国学生老是说那些讽刺挖苦的话，有时候我都听不懂。哎，gee到底是什么意思吗？M: Well, Gee. is an interjection that shows surprise, wonder, or uncertainty. Sometimes when people say Gee. (in a long, drawn out fashion) they are just pretending that they are surprised.L: 你是说gee放在句子里，可以表示惊奇或是怀疑。可要是拖长了调，说geeeeee，这说话的人啊就是假装他感到惊奇。等等，那要是我问你，纽约今年的冬天会冷吗？这个问题当然是很傻啦，因为纽约的冬天总是冷的，那，你会怎么样带着讽刺的口气来回答呢？M: I would say, Gee., I dont know. Winter here has been cold every year for the last ten thousand years, but maybe this year will be different.L: 几千年来纽约的冬天都是冷的，今年可能会不同，哎，Michael, 你也真是能说反话哎！M: Now, Li Hua, why dont you give me an example using Gee without sarcasm to show that you are surprised.L: 举个不带讽刺意思的例子啊. 哎，要是你告诉我你得到一大笔让你到中国去学习的奖学金，我就会说：Gee, thats great!。哎，Michael, 教室都空了，你走不走啊？M: (Sarcastically, in English) Gee, I dont know. Sometimes I just like to sit in an empty classroom and do nothing.L: 得，你愿意坐在空教室里，那我走了！M: Hey, wait!M: Did you hear, the football team wont make the playoffs this year. Oh well, thats too bad.L: 对，足球队今年不能参加决赛。你说是Owell不好，谁是Owell?M: I said, Oh well. Oh, o-h, well, w-e-l-l. Oh well is use to show mild regret. We also use it to tease people or pretend that you are upset.L: 噢，原来这是两个字，oh和well。 oh well就是表示有点遗憾。Michael, 你等等，我要到那个售货机去买包土豆片。(sound of vending machine). 嗨，这个机器坏了，我给了一包的钱，它给我两包。M: Its broken? Oh well, I guess you have to give me a bag. We dont want to waste food, right?L: Oh well, 你说这啊是想逗我。我为什么要给你一包土豆片哪！还美其名说什么不要浪费食品。你不就是想白吃我的土豆片吗？M: Youre not going to give me any chips? (teasing) Oh well, I guess I wont be able to give you a ride home.L: 你为了一包土豆片就不让我搭你的车，要我走回家啊？行啊，那我以后就不帮你做中文课作业了！M: (teasing) Oh well. I guess I wont be able to help you learn English then. Hm, too bad!L: 你呀，别装模作样，不帮我学英语就算了，以后啊不跟你说话了。M: Um, calm down Li Hua. I was just joking, you know.L: (in English, sarcastic) Gee, really?
