Larry 最近去約塞美蒂國家公園度假。他正在告訴李華旅游的情況。李華會
學到兩個常用語：blown away和bone head.

    LL： Yosemite was fantastic. You really should go sometime， Li Hua.
I know you would be completely blown away by the scenery.

    LH：你是說那兒的風很大，會把我吹走呀？我本來倒是很想去，可是要是會
被吹走的話，那不是太危險了嘛？

    LL： No ， no. By "blown away" I mean you would be astounded. When
something blows you away， it amazes you.

    LH：噢，blown away在這里指的是感到驚異，吃驚。對了，我看到過約塞美
蒂國家公園的照片。照片上的風景就讓我驚嘆不已了。

    LL： But being there in person is so much more amazing. You won't
believe how high some of the waterfalls are ； when you go， it will blow
you away！

    LH：身臨其境那當然更好了。我是聽說了那兒的瀑布從很高的山上流下來，
非常驚人。其實你知道嗎，Larry ，中國也有許多有名的山脈。下回你去中國一
定要去黃山玩。那里的景色也會讓你驚嘆不已！

    LL： I am sure I will be blown away. I've heard friends who have been
to Huang Shan and talk about it ， and it does sound amazing.

    LH：對，很多美國人都去黃山玩過，他們都覺得很美。對了，Larry ，你去
約塞美蒂有沒有照相哪？

    LL： I sure do. Before I left ， my uncle came by and gave me a new
camera to take with me to Yosemite. I was blown away by his generosity.

    LH：你叔叔那么好呀！知道你要出去玩還特地送你一個新的照相機呀！他這
么慷慨，人人都會感到驚異，而且還會讓人羨慕你吶。

    LL： Yes， sometimes when someone does something unexpectedly nice，
it really blows you away.

    LH：對，象我剛到美國的時候沒有汽車，有的人開車帶我去買菜，然后告訴
我到什么地方該怎么走。我沒有想到人們會對我這么好，真是讓我感到又感動，
又驚訝呢。

    LL： You know ， the scenery was beautiful， but I was also blown
away by the number of tourists at Yosemite.

    LH：那有什么奇怪的？放暑假嘛，旅游的人當然多了！

    ******

    LL： Li Hua ，I was also blown away by some of the stupid things people
would do in the park！

    LH：那不奇怪，在哪兒都有人做一些不得體的事。你看見有些人做什么啦？

    LL： Well ， there was one guy who was feeding the deer. What a bone
head！

    LH：給鹿吃東西？公園里一般都不讓大家給動物吃東西。你說bone head ，
你是指那頭鹿頭上有骨頭？誰頭上沒有骨頭呀？

    LL： No ， I mean the guy who fed the deer was a bone head. A bone
head is someone who has no brains and does something really stupid.

    LH：嗯，bone head 就是沒有腦筋的人，所以你是指那些給鹿吃東西的人沒
有腦子。對了，我聽說鹿應該在他們所在的棲息地自己找東西吃。

    LL： Yes， there are thousands of tourists who come to Yosemite every
day. If everyone fed them ， the deer would probably get fat and sick ！

    LH：還有那些隨地扔東西的人也很討厭，他們也都是bone-headed.

    LL： Exactly. Not picking up your trash just spoils the view for others
and is bad for the environment.

    LH：就是嘛，到處扔垃圾不但會影響公園的景色，而且也有害與保護環(huán)境。
也許他們是因為沒有扔垃圾的口袋？

    LL： That still seems like a bone-headed excuse to me. You can carry
your trash until you find a park trash can or bring it with you to your
car.

    LH：你說我沒有腦筋才會問這樣的問題？我看你才沒腦筋吶！把垃圾拿在手
里，等到看見垃圾筒再扔？或者把垃圾帶回到你汽車里？什么餿主意呀！

    LL：I wonder why don't parks give out trash bags to everyone who comes
into the park ， Li Hua ， Do you think that would prevent littering？

    LH： Larry，這才是個好主意吶！公園應該給每個來公園玩的人發(fā)一個垃圾
袋，這樣人們就不會隨地扔東西了。

    LL：In fact ， there are some parks in the U.S. that do that.

    LH：有的公園已經(jīng)這樣做了，那別的公園也應該這樣做。

    LL：So， I had a good idea！ I guess that means you don't think I'm
a bone head ！

    LH：對，這個主意很好，所以你不是一個bone head.

    今天李華學到了兩個常用語。一個是blown away，意思是驚嘆，驚奇。另一
個常用語是bone head ，意思是沒有腦筋的人。
