Larry打算請(qǐng)很多人來(lái)家里做客，李華在幫他策劃這個(gè)大party。他們會(huì)用到兩個(gè)說(shuō)法：stoked和bummer.

Larry: OK, so we'll need about two dozen hamburgers, 20 pounds of ribs, a cheese platter, 4 bags of potato chips, potato salad, and....what am I missing?

LH: 還能缺什么??？你說(shuō)的這些東西，足夠我吃一個(gè)禮拜了！我說(shuō)Larry,你到底要請(qǐng)多少客人??？

Larry: There should be around 40 people here. It's going to be great. I'm so stoked!

LH: Stoked? 什么意思？

Larry: Yeah, stoked, s-t-o-k-e-d, stoked. It means to be really excited about something.

LH: Oh, Stoked就是特別興奮，特別激動(dòng)的意思。

Larry: That's right. I'm really looking forward to this party. In other words, you could say I'm super stoked! It's going to be so much fun. Aren't you stoked, Lihua?

LH: 怎么說(shuō)呢？I'm kind of stoked. 我也挺興奮的，不過(guò)Larry, 你請(qǐng)那么多人，等派對(duì)結(jié)束后，這里肯定亂糟糟的。

Larry: Oh, don't worry about that. You'll help me clean after the party, right?

LH: ??？！還要我?guī)兔κ帐埃?br />
Larry: Oh, and I forgot to tell you. I'm stoked about the DJ I hired for the party.

LH: 你還請(qǐng)了個(gè)DJ混音師?

Larry: Yea, he's an old friend from high school. He told me he's got quite a lot of fans around town these days.

LH: 我看出來(lái)了，這場(chǎng)Party人又多，音樂(lè)又是吵哄哄的搖滾樂(lè)，而我還得負(fù)責(zé)事后清理戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)的工作。現(xiàn)在想起來(lái)我都頭疼。I can't say that I'm stoked quite yet.

Larry: Still not stoked? OK, what if I told you that my friend Brian will be there? You know, the guy who is in charge of interns at the company you want to work for?

LH: ??？Brian要來(lái)？我特想去他們公司實(shí)習(xí)，你一定幫我介紹！

Larry: No problem. I'll ask him to help you get the internship at his company.

LH: Awesome! Now I'm stoked! Larry, 讓我們投入戰(zhàn)斗吧！

******

Larry 和李華盡心準(zhǔn)備的派對(duì)開(kāi)始了，可是卻出了點(diǎn)小狀況....

LH: Larry, 牛肉餅烤得怎么樣啦？我等著做漢堡包呢！

Larry: Not too bad. They're just cooking a little slower than I thought. I guess my grill is too small. It's OK, though! I'm still stoked for the party!

LH: Larry! 你看看，燒烤架下面根本就沒(méi)有火！你是不是沒(méi)有瓦斯啦？

Larry: Oh, no! You're right! What a bummer!

LH: Bummer? 你是說(shuō)bum，懶鬼嗎？

Larry: No. Not bum, bummer! A bummer is bad news, or something that makes you upset - like running out of gas when you need to cook for 40 people!

LH: 哦！A bummer就是壞消息。瓦斯用完，你沒(méi)法烤肉, 真是個(gè)好大的bummer啊。不過(guò)你也不用著急，現(xiàn)在只有一個(gè)客人，就是你那個(gè)高中同學(xué)，現(xiàn)在很紅的那個(gè)DJ.

Larry: Wait a minute. This music is from our DJ? This music is for little kids - I thought the neighbors must be having a birthday party for their five-year-old daughter.

LH: 不是，你聽(tīng)到的就是DJ放的音樂(lè)，他說(shuō)他的專長(zhǎng)就是給學(xué)校活動(dòng)造氣氛，所以用的都是兒童音樂(lè)......

Larry: What a bummer!! Ugh, this party is turning into a disaster! No one's here, I can't cook the food, and the DJ sounds like he's from Sesame Street!

LH: 沒(méi)關(guān)系，只要你朋友Brian能來(lái)，我就知足啦！我可得好好表現(xiàn)，爭(zhēng)取讓他給我實(shí)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)！ I'm really stoked to meet him!

Larry: I don't know, Lihua. No one has showed up! I was so stoked about this party.... now the whole thing is just a big bummer. (Sigh) Maybe I wrote the wrong date on the invitation...(doorbell rings)

Larry: Brian is here.

LH: Oh thank god.

Larry: Hey Brian, how are you?

Brian: Hey, Larry, good to see you again! This must be Lihua. I've heard so much about you!

LH: Oh, really....All good things, I hope.

Larry: Actually, Lihua is looking for an internship this summer. Do you think your company would have an opening for her?

Brian: My company? I didn't tell you, Larry? I left my job a year ago. I'm a grad student now!

LH: 啊啊??？你一年前就辭職不干啦？現(xiàn)在回學(xué)校念書(shū)去了？What a bummer!

今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，stoked意思是興奮，激動(dòng)，還有bummer意思是壞消息。
