| 今天Michael和李华在学校的书店里买书。李华会学到两个常用语：hot和to have a crush on someone。 M: Li Hua, do you see that girl over there? L: 你是说那个穿红毛衣的女孩？她怎么啦？ M: She's so hot! I've seen her around campus before and I would really love to meet her. L: 你在校园里见过她，还想认识她。嗯，她是很漂亮。不过，你又没跟她说过话，你怎么知道她很热呢？ M: No, silly. To say someone is "hot" means that he or she is really attractive. That girl over there is definitely hot. L: 噢，说一个人hot是说她很漂亮，很有吸引力，而不是感觉很热的意思。 M: That's right, Li Hua. Now, you know who I think is hot. Tell me who do you think is hot? L: 没错，我现在知道你喜欢谁了。至于我喜欢谁嘛，嗯...电影演员汤姆.克鲁斯 - Tom Cruise - 怎么样？I think he's hot！ M: Tom Cruise? No, I mean someone you really have a chance of going out with. L: 噢，要能够一起出去玩的人呐？ M: Yes, I mean you are not very likely to meet Tom Cruise. Besides, he's a little old now. L: 说得也是，要想认识Tom Cruise恐怕是不太可能的。他当然比以前老了，不过，我觉得他还是很有风度的--He's very hot。 M: Now, come on, who do you think is hot? L: 你想知道我心目里谁最hot呀？我才不告诉你呢，免得你泄露了我的机密。 M: Fine, be that way, but I will find out sooner or later. L: 哎, Michael, 你喜欢的那个女孩去付钱了。要不要我去跟她说话？和她认识以后再给你介绍一下。 M: NO! L: 为什么？你是信不过我，还是怕羞呀？ M: I'm not sure. Besides, I don't want her to know that I have a crush on her. She might not even like me. L: 你不要她知道什么？You have a crush on her -- 这是什么意思？ M: "To have a crush on someone" means you really like the person. L: 噢，to have a crush on someone就是喜欢某人。那我喜欢你，你是我的好朋友，我能不能说I have a crush on you呢？ M: No, "to have a crush on someone" means you like that person romantically. L: 噢，对不起，刚才没弄清楚。 所以，to have a crush on someone是说对异性有好感，希望和这个人谈恋爱，才能这么说。那我能说I have a crush on Tom Cruise吗? M: Yes, that would be appropriate. But when are you going to like someone you actually have a chance of meeting. L: 你想知道我真的要谁做男朋友啊？这种事我怎么能告诉你啊。 M: Why not? Don't you trust me? L: 这不是什么信任不信任的问题。好，等你告诉那个女孩你喜欢她以后我再告诉你，好不好？ M: Then I guess I won't know who you have a crush on any time soon. L: 啊呀，你真是没胆量。怪不得你交不到女朋友呢！ Michael和李华在学校的书店里买书，李华学到了两个常用语。hot是指一个人对异性很有魅力和吸引力；to have a crush on someone是指对异性有好感。 |
