| Larry和李华正准备出门，到Larry父母家去过周末。今天李华会学到两个常用语：hit the road和have a hissy fit。 (Knock on door) LL: Come on, Li Hua. It's time to hit the road! We've got a long drive ahead of us. LH: 进来，进来，着什么急呀！对了，你说It's time to hit the road? Hit是打的意思，我们为什么要打马路？ LL: To hit the road means to leave. It's time for us to leave. LH: 噢，to hit the road就是出发，上路的意思。哎呀，我的包还没装好耶! LL: Li Hua, I told you that we need to hit the road by 9:00 am if we're going to make it to my parents' house before dark. LH: 我知道！你说过要在天黑以前到，9点前就必须出发。我再有几分钟就好了。 LL: All right, but please hurry up. I hate driving on country roads after dark. It can be dangerous. LH: 好啦，好啦，别催我啦! 对了。 Larry，我们可不可以先去吃个早餐？ LL: I don't want to stop right after we hit the road. You can have a snack now and then we'll stop for lunch. LH: 什么？你要我先吃点零食，等到中午才吃午饭啊？可是我现在好饿噢！而且我家里什么吃的都没有。 LL: How about this: If you can be ready to hit the road in five minutes, then we can stop for breakfast. Otherwise, you're just going to have to wait until lunch. LH: 你怎么还要讲条件呐！五分钟内出发我就能吃早饭，否则就得等到中午再吃饭。没问题，我只要三分钟就够了。 LL: Are you sure you have everything you need? LH: 嗯，我想应该都带齐了吧。好啦，我们走吧！Let's hit the road! LL: It's about time! I'll go and put your bag in the car. LH: 你去把我的包放到车里呀？那就麻烦你了。别忘了，breakfast before we hit the road！ LH: Larry，你开过麦当劳啦！不是说好了先去吃早餐的吗？ LL: Sorry, I missed the turn. We can turn around and go back. There's no need to have a hissy fit. LH: 你在说什么？Have a hissy fit？那是什么意思？ LL: To have a hissy fit means to get really upset about something and throw a tantrum. LH: To have a hissy fit就是发脾气的意思。我没有生气，我只是以为你是故意不去麦当劳的。 LL: Well, look, I'm going to stop. See? You're going to get what you want, so there is no need to have a hissy fit. LH: 我跟你说了，我没有生气嘛！你干嘛一直这样说我啊？ LL: Oh great. Now, you're going to have a hissy fit because I asked you not to have a hissy fit. LH: 等等，等等，你说什么？我发脾气是因为你叫我别发脾气？你都把我搞糊涂了。 LL: Yeah, let's just forget about the whole thing and go get some breakfast. I'm actually a little hungry, too. LH: 就是啊，别再说什么生气不生气了。我好饿噢，快坐下来吃早餐吧！ LL：Hey Li Hua, look at that little boy. He's having a hissy fit! LH: 那个孩子呀？噢，那边那个男孩。我们进来的时候他就已经在闹了。也许他没有拿到麦当劳的玩具。 今天李华学到两个常用语。一个是hit the road,就是出发，上路的意思。另一个常用语是to have a hissy fit，就是发脾气的意思。 |
