李華（LH）和Larry（LL）討論情人節(jié)的安排。
LL： So， Lihua， I know you said that you didn‘t want me to buy a Valentine’s Day gift for you， but I wasn‘t born yesterday. I can tell you’re expecting something romantic. LH： 我情人節(jié)唯一的愿望就是能跟你一起渡過！我們可以一起做晚飯，然后去看電影。你剛才說自己wasn‘t born yesterday是什么意思��？
LL： Saying someone was born yesterday， means that they are very easy to fool. I said that I wasn‘t "born yesterday" because you can’t fool me. LH： 我知道了，說什么人was born yesterday意思就是說這個(gè)人容易受騙，有點(diǎn)象中文里說的“三歲小孩。”
LL： That‘s right. Even though you won’t admit it， I think you would love to receive some flowers or chocolates for Valentine‘s Day. LH： 你心真細(xì)！不過，我確實(shí)不想要什么禮物，跟你在一起就足夠了。不過你別生氣，我可不是說你傻。
LL： No， you didn‘t call me foolish. In the US， stating that you "weren’t born yesterday" is a way to joke around with friends. If you say that you "weren‘t born yesterday，" you’re expressing that you aren‘t gullible. LH： 我明白了，you said you weren’t born yesterday ，是因?yàn)槟阌X得我肯定想要你送情人節(jié)禮物給我。
LL： We both know I wasn‘t really born yesterday. What I meant was that I have known you for so long that I can tell you are looking forward to a romantic Valentine’s Day gift. LH： 你可真夠固執(zhí)的。那你說，born yesterday什么時(shí)候才會(huì)帶有貶義呢？
LL： If you are speaking with someone， for example one of your students， who don‘t know who Zhang Ziyi is， and you say ’Were you born yesterday？ She‘s a famous Chinese movie star！
LH： 那別人肯定會(huì)不高興。這就等于是說，你怎么連這都不知道！
LL： That‘s right. Asking someone if they were "born yesterday" implies that they misunderstood a subject that is rather simple to understand or that is common knowledge.
