夏天的時候，Larry 和李華開車去海邊玩。李華會學(xué)到兩個常用語：jazzed
和to catch some waves.

    LL： Li Hua ， I am really jazzed about this trip to the beach.

    LH： Jazz 不是爵士樂嗎？我們?nèi)ズ＿吀�爵士樂有什么關(guān)系呢？

    LL： You are right， but by Jazzed I mean to be really excited. I
am really looking forward to spending some time at the beach today.

    LH：我知道了，Jazzed的意思是很興奮。其實我也挺高興的，不過我想知道
有什么事情讓你這么興奮呢？

    LL： There are three reasons. First ， I am really jazzed to not be
working ！ I have been working really hard on a project for my boss ，
and it is really nice to have some time off.

    LH：對，你為你老板的那個項目花了一個月的時間，現(xiàn)在完成了當(dāng)然要放松
一下嘍。不用上班，這個理由很成立，另外兩個理由呢？

    LL： Second ， I am very jazzed about trying out my new surf board
and riding some waves.

    LH：你想試試你新買的沖浪板。那也合理，你那新的沖浪板真是很漂亮。要
我是你，I would be very jazzed， too. 不過呢，我只想躲在陽傘下面看書。

    LL： I don't see how you can get jazzed about reading a book， Li
Hua.

    LH： Oh ， Larry，你喜歡沖浪，我喜歡看書。各人的興趣不同嘛。

    LL： I guess that is what makes the world interesting ！ I get really
jazzed about playing Frisbee at the beach ， too.

    LH：在沙灘上扔飛盤，那有什么好玩的？那是小孩玩的東西。

    LL： Remember what you said ， Li Hua ？ Different people get jazzed
about different things.

    LH：沒錯，沒錯，我是說過。

    LL： Remember ， the guy in our English class really get jazzed about
flying kites. We should have asked him to come to the beach with us today.

    LH：對了，忘了邀請他一起來了。你不是說有三個理由讓你興奮嗎？

    LL： Yes， the third reason is that I am jazzed to be spending some
time with one of my favorite friends. And that would be you ， Li Hua.

    LH：第三個理由是跟像我這樣的好朋友一起出游讓你感到興奮。Larry ，你
的嘴可真甜吶。不過，我還是謝謝你的好意。

    ******

    LL： Well ， now that I've put on some sun screen ， Li Hua ， I am
going to go catch some waves.

    LH： Catch some waves ？你能抓到海浪嗎？

    LL： Ha ， ha. I don't mean with my arms. To catch some waves- WAVES，
means to ride some waves on your surfboard.

    LH： Oh ，我明白了，你是要去沖浪。不過，今天的浪不太，即使是用新的
沖浪板也不好沖喲。

    LL： You are right， Li Hua. It isn't the best day to catch waves.
The waves aren't very big ， but I can at least try out my new surfboard
by catching some little waves.

    LH：不管是大浪還是小浪，反正有浪就行了。Go and catch your waves.我
在這里看我的書。

    LL： Oh ， come on Li Hua ， why don't you come out and catch some
waves with me ？

    LH：我不知道怎么沖浪，我從來沒有試過。

    LL： Catching waves isn't hard， Li Hua. I can show you how.

    LH： Okay ，那我去試試。不過，你知道我有點緊張。

    LL： Oh ， it will be fine， Li Hua. Let's go catch some waves.

    （Ocean/splashing sounds）

    LH：我們已經(jīng)在水里了，那怎么沖浪呢？

    LL： First， you hold on to the surfboard like this. And then you
wait for a wave to catch. When a big wave comes along ， you stand up
on the surfboard and ride it.

    LH：我來試試。把沖浪板拿好，然后海浪一來，就站到?jīng)_浪板上。噢，我的
天啊，大浪來了！

    LL： Okay ， Li Hua ， try to stand up. Good job， you caught your
first wave！

    LH： Wheeeee，我第一次沖浪成功了！

    LL： See， I told you catching some waves isn't hard.

    LH：沖浪是不難。 Larry，我們再來一次吧。

    今天李華學(xué)到了兩個常用語。一個是jazzed，意思是令人興奮，還有一個是
catch some waves，意思是海上沖浪。
