Michael現(xiàn)在在玩電子游戲，李華在等他一起去和朋友吃飯。Michael今天會(huì)教會(huì)李華兩個(gè)常用語：junkies和cut it out.
（Sound of video games）
L: 嗨，Michael，你還沒有玩夠這電子游戲呀？你這個(gè)人怎么回事嘛！
M: Just a minute. （video game sounds stop） Oh never mind. You are right, Li Hua. I need to do something more useful with my time. I'm a video game junkie.
L: 你說你是什么? Junkie? 那是什么?。?BR> M: I called myself a "video game junkie."
L: 你是說你玩電子游戲玩太多了，對(duì)不對(duì)？
M: You got it. The word "junkie" originally was slang for a drug addict. Now, however, people used the word "junkie" to describe people who are very absorbed in a hobby or kind of entertainment.
L: 噢, 所以junkie是指那些沉醉于自己嗜好的人。那么，除了像你這種老愛玩電子游戲的人以外，還有其他的junkies,對(duì)不對(duì)？
M: Of course! For instance, my dad is a golf junkie. He goes to the golf course at least twice a week, and plays for hours.
L: 沒錯(cuò)，你爸爸真是個(gè)高爾夫球迷，一個(gè)星期要打兩次，每次還要打好幾個(gè)小時(shí)，那他肯定是退休了，不然那來那么多時(shí)間??？ 哎，Michael, 你可不可以再給我舉幾個(gè)不同的junkies的例子呢？
M: Well, my friend Mitch, he is a sports junkie. He watches football in the fall, hockey in the winter, and baseball in the spring and summer. He finds a game on TV almost every day of the year, and he knows everything about every player.
L: OK，所以你那個(gè)朋友Mitch，他呀是個(gè)大球迷。每天在電視上看球賽，秋天看足球，冬天就看曲棍球，春夏天又看棒球，而且還知道每一個(gè)球員吶。哇，真是個(gè)大球迷！
M: That's right. We don't use the word "junkie" for just any fan. We use it for people who can't live without their hobby.
L: 噢，所以junkies還是特別指那些沒有這些嗜好就沒辦法活的人吶！
M: Yeah, like you. You are a soap opera junkie. I've seen you run to the student union between classes just so you can watch soap operas on the TV there. You are a junkie!
L: 什么？你說我是連續(xù)劇迷？我至少不像你對(duì)電子游戲那么迷。好了好了，快走吧，我們跟Jack還有Sarah約好要吃飯的。
（Sound of video games）
L: 嗨，Michael，我們得走啦，否則要遲到了。
M: Mmm hmm. （sound continues） Ahh! Come on, come on!
L: Michael， 把遙控器給我！
M: Hey! Cut it out!
L: （Click, TV turns off） 對(duì)不起，Michael，我們?cè)俨蛔咭獊聿患傲?。你剛才說什么cut it out, 什么意思??？
M: No! I said "cut it out." That means "stop it!"
L: 噢，cut it out就是說“別這樣”？那這句話是在什么場(chǎng)合用的？
M: If someone is doing something that annoys you, and you really want them to stop, you can use this phrase. For instance, I was busy playing that game when you tried to grab the controller from me. I wanted you to stop trying to grab it, so I said "cut it out".
L: 噢，所以，誰要是做的事讓你很討厭，你要他別這么做，這個(gè)時(shí)候你就可以說這句話。就象剛才我要搶你的遙控器時(shí)，你就說cut it out, 就是讓我別搶?？磥?，這個(gè)cut it out還挺有用的。
M: You understand. So what do you say if someone starts throwing peanuts at you, like this.
L: 你干嗎拿花生扔我??？Stop, ER…… Cut it out, Michael!
M: Very good. I guess you really have learned this phrase.
Michael今天用扔花生來教李華怎么說cut it out，也就是“別這樣！”。這回李華恐怕再也忘不了這個(gè)說法了。李華今天還學(xué)到 junkies這個(gè)詞。意思是對(duì)某種嗜好，或好玩的事著了迷的人。
