李華正在興致勃勃地給Larry 將她去看醫(yī)生的經(jīng)過,沒想到被Larry 潑了一
盆冷水。李華今天要學(xué)兩個常用語,TMI 和PDQ .
LL: Oh , Li Hua , that is really TMI. I'm sorry you had to go to
the doctor, but I really don't want to hear all about your infected toenail!
LH:你不想知道醫(yī)生是怎么幫我處理那個發(fā)炎的腳趾甲的嗎?TMI ?什么是
TMI 呀?
LL: T-M-I is an abbreviation for "Too Much Information." I think
you were giving me too much information about your doctor's appointment.
LH:我知道TMI 是too much information的縮寫,但我還是不明白,你為什
么對我看醫(yī)生漠不關(guān)心呢?
LL: Well , you were telling me very specific details about your
trip to the doctor, like how he had to cut away part of your toenail ,
and I thought you gave me too much information. TMI !
LH:噢,你是不想聽醫(yī)生是怎么把發(fā)炎的腳趾甲剪掉,又是怎么把里面的膿
……
LL:(Urgently) Please , Li Hua , that really is TMI ! Generally,
Americans don't like to talk about the specifics of personal matters like
a doctor's visit, especially when the details are disgusting !
LH:原來是這樣,就是說凡是像看醫(yī)生這類的私事,美國人一般不會告訴別
人,否則的話就是TMI.
LL: That's right. But you should also not give too much information
about your personal relationships.
LH:我有個朋友叫Sharon,她最喜歡給我講她跟自己男朋友交往的細節(jié)。我
也覺得那些都是 TMI .
LL: How so ?
LH:比如說,她會告訴我,她的男朋友是怎么親她的。
LL: That is definitely TMI. You probably really don't want to know
how Sharon's boyfriend kisses.
LH:那當然了。我實在不想聽,可又不知道該怎么告訴她。
LL: Well , now you do ! The next time Sharon goes on and on about
her boyfriend you can just say, "Please, Sharon , TMI!"
LH:我下次一定試試。對不起,Larry ,我得趕緊找個廁所。我剛才喝了一
大瓶水。憋死我了。
LL:(Urgently) Li Hua , that is another excellent example of TMI!
******
LL: You are back , Li Hua. That was PDQ !
LH:你剛才說TMI "too much information",現(xiàn)在又說PDQ , PDQ是什么意
思��?
LL: PDQ stands for "Pretty Darn Quick." You came back from the restroom
very quickly, you were PDQ !
LH:噢,你是說我動作快啊,我是不想讓你等,當然PDQ 啦。
LL: Say, Li Hua , I am getting very hungry. Aren't you ? Let's
stop chatting and find a place to eat PDQ.
LH:附近那個三明治的小吃店怎么樣?
LL: That's a good idea ! The sandwiches are really good and they
make them PDQ , which is good because I should really get back to work.
LH:對呀,他們那里的三明治又好吃又不用等。Larry ,你下午干脆別上班
了,我們好好吃一頓,然后去公園。這么好的天氣,待在辦公室里可惜了!
LL: I wish I could , Li Hua , but I really can't. My boss assigned
me a project this morning , and he really wants me to finish it PDQ.
LH:那好吧,既然你要趕項目,那我們就快吃,你好get back to work PDQ.
LL: What about you , Li Hua ? Do you have a relaxing afternoon
planned ?
LH:其實我也有事。我的公寓有些地方需要修理,房東下午過來。所以吃完
飯,我也要立刻趕回去。
LL: Well , it sounds like we both have things to do this afternoon.
Here's the sandwich place. Oh , No ! It doesn't look like our lunch
is going to PDQ after all.
LH:今天怎么這么多人,都排到門外了。
LL: Well , it doesn't look like the service will be PDQ today. They
must be short-handed.
LH:我們改去麥當勞吧,快餐店應(yīng)該不會等太久。
LL: And then we'll need to eat them PDQ, too!
今天李華學(xué)到了兩個常用語。一個是TMI ,意思是別人并不想知道的事。另
一個是 PDQ,意思是非常快。
