英語常用口語每天學(xué) 第158課:我覺得自己不是在美國
Ethan: Well, at least you're having an American experience. At the International House, sometimes I feel like I'm not in America at all.
Sean: How's that?
Ethan: Well, like, this afternoon the Brazilians are going to teach Rena and I how to dance the samba.
Sean: I'm so sorry. I know you'd rather shop for hot dogs and toilet paper.
Ethan: Another example is last night. Hideki was teaching my roommate Jaroslav to curse in Japanese.
★ samba (n.) 桑巴舞，起源于非洲的一種輕快的巴西舞
★ roommate (n.) 室友
★ curse (v.) 咒罵
伊森：嗯，至少你有了美國經(jīng)驗(yàn)。在國際學(xué)舍，有時(shí)我覺得自己根本不是在美國。
西恩：怎么說?
伊森：好比說，今天下午一群巴西人要教我跟蕾娜跳桑巴舞。
西恩：我很遺憾。我知道你更愿意去買熱狗和衛(wèi)生紙。
伊森：另外一個(gè)例子是昨晚。秀樹在教我的室友亞拉斯夫怎么用日語罵人。
★ samba (n.) 桑巴舞，起源于非洲的一種輕快的巴西舞
