流行美语第286课：七上八下走极端 -（韦博分享）流行美语第286课：七上八下走极端 -（韦博分享）李华和Larry一起开车去参加人才招聘会。今天我们要学习两个常用语：butterflies in ones stomach和go overboard.LH: Larry, 我心里特别紧张。你怎么样？LL: Yeah, I have to admit that Im a bit nervous as well. Every time I have to go to one of these events, I get butterflies in my stomach.LH: 肚子里面有蝴蝶？真有意思。你不是说真的吧！LL: The expression butterflies in my stomach describes the feeling you get in your stomach when you are nervous. That fluttering feeling that can make your stomach feel a bit unsettled is a result of such nervousness.LH: 这种说法真形象。就是形容心里紧张，七上八下，好象在打鼓。Well, Larry, Ive definitely got butterflies in my stomach right now!LL: Id tell you not to worry, but Im worrying myself. Ok, lets take a deep breath, exit the car, and go into the job fair!(Sound effect - Inside the job fair building)LH: Wow，你看，这次来参加招聘的公司还真不少呢！看来我们有机会。可我怎么好象越来越紧张了呢？LL: Me too! Lets start off together, and then well split up if we see other things that fit our taste. Did you bring your resume?LH: 我带了三十份简历。你觉得够不够？LL: I brought 20 resumes, so I think you definitely have enough. But, are you mentally prepared to make a good impression? You dont want to show that youve got butterflies in your stomach.LH: 我知道。虽然心里七上八下的，可表面上还得装得镇定自若。哎呀，你怎么紧张得手都在抖啊。别抖，你看，简历撒了一地。LL: (Flushed) Well, I guess thats a fast way to get my name and experience out there! Thanks for helping me pick these up. Ok, so how do I look?LH: 你看起来特专业。来，放松点，喝口水，深呼吸，We need to get those butterflies out of our stomach.LL: Thanks! You look fine, too. Lets go to the first company booth over there!*LH: 这些人真有礼貌。他们说keep in touch保持联络，是不是有希望啊？LL: Im not sure, Lihua. You may have gone overboard.LH: Gone overboard? 这是什么意思啊！LL: I mean - you may have said and done too much to them. Going overboard means putting too much effort or action into something.LH: 我想起来了，go overboard不是从船上掉下去的意思吗？LL: It stems from the meaning of when a person walked too far on the edge of a ship - so far that they fall off of the boat and into the water!LH: 你意思是说我表现得很差吗？LL: No, I mean that you said and did too much. Perhaps you can keep your answers shorter - more direct. And how many resumes did you give them?LH: 我怕他们会丢，所以给了他们一人两份。LL: See - one resume is enough. What you did is called going overboard. Understand?LH: 明白了，我以后一定注意分寸，除了工作经验，什么都不提。LL: Yes! Thats it! See, the first booth, you talked about your family and even your dog!LH: Hey! 我可不许你说我狗宝宝的坏话。LL: Ok. Watch me on this one. Ill try not to go overboard, so you can watch and learn, Li Hua.LH: 好，我就在这观摩。Good luck! You need it. HahaLL: Hi there, my names Larry. Ive heard a lot about your company and. (声音变弱)LH: 这么快！你留下简历了吗？LL: Ah! I forgot! (to booth) Im sorry, heres my resume, sir.LH: So, did you go overboard? (laughing)LL: Funny, Li Hua. Very funny!LH: 你连名字都忘了告诉人家。他们谈到你，肯定会说，“就是那个不留姓名也不留简历的神秘人”。LL: Enough about me! I failed miserably. Lets see how you do this time. Lets see if you go overboard.LH: 一、二、三 (数简历)LL: Lihua.Why are you taking so many resumes with you?LH
