LH:冰激凌是your treat?可我也要吃啊,應(yīng)該是our treat 才對(duì)吧。
LL: Well , the ice cream will certainly be for both of us - and
it will be a treat for both of us , but when I said it was "my treat"
I meant that I would pay for the ice cream.
LH:哦,原來(lái)是你要請(qǐng)客��!
LL: That's right , to TREAT someone means to pay for someone's food
or entertainmentas a form of a gift.
LH:那太好了。謝謝你請(qǐng)我去吃冰激凌。
LL: It is my pleasure, Li Hua.
LH:為了表示感謝,這個(gè)周末我請(qǐng)你去中國(guó)餐館吃飯。My treat. LL: That's

是好朋友嘛!
LL: In that case , I'll be happy to go for Chinese food this weekend
- especially if it is your treat.
LH:我有個(gè)問(wèn)題,Larry ,在美國(guó),如果有人提出請(qǐng)你吃飯,你還用爭(zhēng)著付
錢嗎?
LL: Generally, you can try to protest a little, but the most polite
thing to do is to let the other person treat you and allow his or her
to feel generous.
LH:在中國(guó)的時(shí)候,我有個(gè)叔叔,人特別大方,經(jīng)常請(qǐng)朋友和家里人出去吃
飯。

up, my grandmother would always treat us to the circus - or sometimes
a movie.
LH:看馬戲?哎(嘆氣)——小時(shí)候真好!我爸爸也經(jīng)常帶我去看木偶劇。

LL: That is the most ginormousice cream cone I have ever seen, Li
Hua. LH : Ginormous?你是想說(shuō)enormous吧?
LL: Well , actually , Li Hua. You are right. I do mean that your
ice cream cone is enormous. But ginormous is a slang word formed from
two other words : gigantic and enormous. LH:哦,gigantic前面的音和enormous
后面的音連在一起,就變成了ginormous ,也就是特別、特別、特別大的意思嘍?
LL: Yes. Something that is ginormous is both gigantic and enormous.
It is something that is really, really , really big. LH :我餓極了,

,Li Hua. You don't want to end up with a ginormous cavity !
LH:吃甜的長(zhǎng)個(gè)大蟲牙我倒不擔(dān)心,我擔(dān)心的是我的腰圍。
LL: Hey, here comes my hot fudgesundae. Wow ! It is ginormous,
too. Maybe we should have split one ice cream between the two of us. LH
:吃完這兩個(gè)特大號(hào)的冰激凌,恐怕我們就得趕緊節(jié)食了。
LL: You aren't kidding. I think this ice cream must contain a ginormous
amount of fat and calories. LH:嗨,管它呢,先吃了再說(shuō)。
LL: That sound's good……Oh, watch out, Li Hua ! Your ice cream
cone is melting and starting to tip ! If it falls on the floor , it'll
make a ginormous mess. LH :還好你提醒我,總算沒(méi)掉下來(lái)。不過(guò)我還是得趕
快去拿一大疊餐巾紙來(lái),先準(zhǔn)備著。
