英語口語:What a bummer 杯具了
Larry: OK, so we'll need about two dozen hamburgers, 20 pounds of ribs, a cheese platter, four bags of potato chips, potato salad, am I missing?
LH: 還能缺什麼啊?你説的這些東西,足夠我吃一個禮拜了!我説Larry,你到底要請多少客人啊?
Larry: There should be around 40 people here. It's going to be great. I'm so stoked!
LH: Stoked?什麼意思?
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: 怎麼説呢?I'm kind of stoked,我也挺興奮的,不過Larry,你請那麼多人,等派對結束後,這裏肯定亂糟糟的。
Larry: Oh, don't worry about that. You'll help me clean after the party, right?
LH: 啊?!還要我幫忙收拾?
Larry: Oh, and I forgot to tell you. I'm stoked about the DJ I hired for the party.
LH: 你還請了個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: 我看出來了,這場party人又多,音樂又是吵哄哄的搖滾樂,而我還得負責事後清理戰場的工作。現在想起來我都頭疼。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: 啊?Brian要來?我特想去他們公司實習,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, 讓我們投入戰鬥吧!
Larry和李華精心準備的派對開始了,可是卻出了點小狀況……
LH: Larry,牛肉餅烤得怎麼樣啦?我等着做漢堡包呢!
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有火!你是不是沒有瓦斯啦?
Larry: Oh, no! You're right! What a bummer!
LH: Bummer? 你是説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,你沒法烤肉, 真是個好大的'bummer啊。不過你也不用着急,現在只有一個客人,就是你那個高中同學,現在很紅的那個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,你聽到的就是DJ放的音樂,他説他的專長就是給學校活動造氣氛,所以用的都是兒童音樂……
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: 沒關係,只要你朋友Brian能來,我就知足啦!我可得好好表現,爭取讓他給我實習的機會!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, 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: 啊啊啊?你一年前就辭職不幹啦?現在回學校唸書去了?What a bummer!
