Larry和李華正在中央公園等著聽音樂。那里舉行的戶外搖滾樂演唱會馬上就要開始。

今天李華會學到兩個常用語：Boss和Mob scene。

LL: Hey, Li Hua, I can't wait for the band to start playing. The last

concert I went to by this band was totally boss.

LH: 你說上回去聽這個樂隊演出怎么啦？Boss？那不是指監(jiān)督工作的老板嗎？

LL: Right, but when I said the concert was boss, I meant it was really

great.

LH: ?。緽oss在這里是形容演唱會很棒的意思，可是Boss跟很棒有什么關系呀？

LH: You know how a boss is above his employees and tells them what to

do? Something that is boss is above the others. And better than the rest.

LH: 噢，因為老板，也就是boss比其他人更能干，指揮手下人干活，所以就是棒！

那我很喜歡星際大戰(zhàn)電影里的特效，我能不能說they were boss?

LL: The special effects in the new Star Wars movie were boss. They were

much better than in the older Star Wars movies.

LH: 對，我同意。新的星際大戰(zhàn)里面的特效比以前的星際大戰(zhàn)更棒。Larry，你看

到Rick 買的新車嗎？

LL: Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Fire engine red with leather seats and

a sunroof. That is definitely one boss car.

LH: 我可不喜歡那大紅顏色，象救火車?？墒瞧ぷ鶋|和天窗我倒很喜歡。Larry，

要是我認為一樣東西不太棒，那該怎么說呀？

LL: If you don't think something is that great, you can say something is

not so boss.

LH: 要是今天的演出很棒，我就可以說：They are boss! 但是上星期的表演不怎

么樣，那就是：They weren't so boss.

LL: You are right, in fact. Last week's act wasn't so boss. I was there.

LH: 嘿！你看！樂團出來了。哇！他們的服裝好棒噢！So boss!

LL: And wait until you hear the lead guitarist start playing. I think you'll

find he is pretty boss, too.

LH: 你說那吉他手很棒呀？那他肯定很有名，是嗎？噓！要開場了。別說話了！

******

LL: What a mob scene! The concert is over and now there are people everywhere.

LH: 就是，演唱會一結束，大家都搶著要回家，你瞧這人群哪！哎，Larry, 什么是

mob scene?

LL: Well, a mob scene, is a big group of people, who are acting in a random

and disorderly way.

LH: 噢，mob scene就是指亂糟糟的一大群人。上星期我去看星際大戰(zhàn)電影的首映，

買票的人排著隊打鬧說笑，有票的人在門口等著開場。That was a real mob scene.

LL: Yes, the theaters were mobbed for the opening of Star Wars. I am going

to wait a few weeks to see it when the lines will be shorter.

LH: 早知道首映的時候會那么多人，我也該像你這樣等幾個星期再去看，就不必排

那么長的隊了。Larry, 我們該往哪兒走呀？我們得脫離這個mob scene才行，不然

我們什么時候才能到家呀！

LL: Well, the subway will probably also be mobbed. It will be just as much

of a mob scene on the train as it is here.

LH: 啊？連地鐵也會象這里一樣擠滿人??？那我們別去和人擠了。我們先走一段路

吧！

LL: Okay, Li Hua, I've got an idea about how to get away from this mob.

Follow me. I know a shortcut!

LH：喲，你還知道小路吶。你早說呀！

今天李華學到兩個常用語。第一個是boss，這是很棒，很好的意思。另一個常用語

是mob scene，這是指人很多的場面。
