Larry 和李華一起去逛街,給Larry 的朋友Tom 買生日禮物。今天我們要學(xué)
兩個(gè)常用語: right on the money 和crapshoot.
LH: Larry, Tom平時(shí)有什么愛好�。�
L : Tom really enjoys sports , especially skiing. But he also loves
video games too.
LH:他喜歡滑雪和電子游戲?現(xiàn)在天氣這么熱,沒法帶他去滑雪……對了!
我們給他買一個(gè)滑雪的電子游戲,這樣他在家里就能滑了!
L : You want to buy him a skiing video game? I think you're right
on the money. Great idea!
LH: Right on the money ?什么意思?你讓我付錢買禮物么?
L : Actually , when you say that something is right on the money,
that means it is exactly right.
LH:哦,right on the money就是“完全正確”的意思。你是說,我提出給
Tom 買滑雪游戲是個(gè)特別好的主意,對不對?
L : Exactly. Here is another example. When Erica went to visit Karen
she wasn't sure which apartment number was hers. Luckily her guess was
right on the money.
LH:我明白了。Erica 不肯定Karen 家的門牌號碼,可是她一猜就猜中了,
這就叫right on the money.
L : Exactly! You're right on the money.
LH:那可不!咱們?nèi)ル娖魃虉鲑I游戲吧!對了,那家店在哪兒來著?是在14
街上么?
L : Yup, you're right on the money. There is a big electronics store
there.
LH:那我們怎么去呢?
L : There is a metro station nearby, so I think that will be the
most convenient way.
LH:對,附近是有地鐵。是地鐵的哪條線來著?綠線么?
L : Yup, you're right on the money again. It's the green line.
L : Larry,這種滑雪游戲好像是新上市的,會不會很貴�。康�50塊錢吧?
LH: Wow Lihua, good guess ! You're right on the money. The most
popular skiing video game is $49.99.
L :哈!我今天怎么猜什么都那么準(zhǔn)��!那我再猜猜,你買這個(gè)游戲給Tom ,
其實(shí)是想和他一起玩兒吧?
LH: Actually , Lihua, you're right on the money!

Larry 和李華正在商場的電子游戲區(qū)選游戲。
LH: Larry,這里至少有10種滑雪游戲!咱們買哪個(gè)�。�
L : Hmmm …… I don't know. Maybe we could ask a store employee to
recommend one.
LH:找店員問?他肯定給你推薦最貴的,而且還不一定好!
L : I guess you're right. Since we don't have any idea which games
are good, it's really just a crapshoot.
LH: A crapshoot?什么意思?
L : A crapshoot is something that depends totally on luck.
LH:哦,crapshoot 就是完全靠運(yùn)氣的事情。
L : Exactly. For example , becoming a movie star is extremely competitive.
Even if you're a good actor , it's still mostly a crapshoot.
LH:對,想成為電影明星很難,即使你有表演天賦,這也基本上是撞大運(yùn)的
事兒。
L : You got it.
LH: Larry,這里的游戲都好貴啊,要不咱們?nèi)e的店看看,也許有便宜點(diǎn)
的?
L : Maybe, but there isn't any way to know which store would be
cheaper. It would really be just a crapshoot.
LH:這倒也是。對了,Tom 家的游戲機(jī)是什么牌子的啊?任天堂?索尼?還
是X-Box ?
L : Hmm…… I have no idea.
LH:�。磕悴恢琅谱�,那怎么買游戲啊。萬一型號對不上,就沒法玩兒啦。
L : Well , we will just have to guess. It will be a crapshoot ,
but he can always exchange it later.
LH:那多麻煩。要不我們送給Tom 一張購物券吧,讓他自己隨便買點(diǎn)什么。
反正我們也不是很確定他會喜歡滑雪游戲。
L : Well , it's not a total crapshoot. We know he likes skiing and
video games , so it's likely he will like this gift.
LH:我說 Larry,你對Tom 的生日禮物可真上心啊!我猜,等到給我買生日
禮物的時(shí)候,你一定會花更多的心思!
L : Of course, Lihua. You're right on the money !
今天李華學(xué)了兩個(gè)常用語。一個(gè)是right on the money,表示完全正確。另
一是crapshoot ,意思是全憑運(yùn)氣的事。
