李華今天在Larry 家玩電子游戲,給Larry 打敗。李華今天會學(xué)到兩個常用
語:own someone 和goner.
[Sound of video games]
LH:哎,我又輸了。這個游戲真不怎么樣。
LL: Ha ! I own you Li Hua ! That's five games to zero! I totally
own you !
LH: Larry,你那么激動干什么呀!你說什么?"I own you ",你又不欠我
什么呀!
LL: No , not owe, I said own ! To "own" someone means to overwhelmingly
defeat that person at a game or contest , or just to be a lot better
than someone else at something.
LH:噢,to own someone就是玩游戲或比賽的時候把某人打敗,或者在某個
方面比對方強(qiáng)得多。你是說,我們玩電子游戲,你把我打敗了。這有什么了不起!
上次打乒乓球我把你打的落花流水,你記得嗎?
LL: Yeah , I know , I know , the last time we played, you beat
me 21 to zero. You totally own me at ping-pong. But that's just because
in the U.S. we don't think of ping-pong as a real sport.
LH:什么?你們美國人不把乒乓看作是真正的體育?That's baloney!好吧,
打保齡球在美國是很流行的,是不是!你還記得有一次我得了230 分,你連100
分都不到。Larry ,這你該怎么說呢?
LL: Right, right, you definitely own me at bowling. That was pretty
embarrassing. Of course , I had given blood that day , and……
LH:嗨,別再找理由了。你自己覺得不好意思就行!你呀,除了打電子游戲
以外,我看你什么都玩不過我。
LL: Oh yeah? What about Scrabble? I own you at Scrabble any day!
LH:拼字游戲?當(dāng)然了,你是土生土長的美國人,英語是你的母語呀,如果
連拼字你都比我差,那也太不好意思了吧。
LL: In spite of what you believe , I also own the tennis court.
I'm the best player on the tennis court. I can beat anyone else who comes
onto the court.
LH:我承認(rèn)你的網(wǎng)球的確打得不錯,到目前為止,誰也打不過你,不過那是
因為你還沒有遇到好的對手。
LL: Come on, Li Hua , it's silly to argue like that. Isn't it obvious
that everyone can own someone in certain fields , but no one can own
everyone in everything.
LH:這話不錯。每個人都有比別人強(qiáng)的地方,但是不能什么都比人強(qiáng)。

LH:好了, Larry,電子游戲打得差不多了,我們出去吃點(diǎn)東西吧。
LL: Wait , just let me finish this round [sound of TV popping and
shutting off] Whoa, the TV died. Oh well , I guess it's a goner now.
LH:電視壞了,你說電視是什么? Goner?
LL: I said , "It's a goner". That means that the TV is "gone". It's
dead, it cannot be used again or brought back to life.
LH:我明白了,你說 "the TV is a goner"意思是這電視機(jī)壞了,沒救了。
你怎么知道呀?也許還可以修呢!
LL: I'v already fixed it once, I'm pretty sure it's a goner this
time.
LH:原來你已經(jīng)修過了,那看來是完蛋了。 Larry,你看墻角的那盆花都枯
黃了,看來是沒救了。It is a goner.
LL: Oh man , I can't believe I let that poor plant die. Yeah, it's
definitely a goner. Just like your goldfish Shan-shan.
LH:你可別提我的金魚,一提我就難過。 Larry,你不覺得用goner 來形容
心愛得寵物或是人,有點(diǎn)不太合適嗎?
LL: I'm sorry. You're right, it is very insensitive to say someone's
pet , or loved one is "a goner".
LH:沒錯,我也覺得把別人心愛的東西或喜歡的人稱為goner 似乎不太禮貌,
對不對?
LL: You're absolutely right. Li Hua, do you remember my brother
Jack?
LH: Jack ?就是那個不想上大學(xué)的弟弟嗎?
LL: Yes. Since he didn't have a college education, my parents said
that he's a goner in the job market for sure.
LH:你爸爸媽媽認(rèn)為你弟弟沒有大學(xué)學(xué)歷,要找工作是沒有希望的。我看不
一定吧 .微軟的創(chuàng)辦人Bill Gates也沒念完大學(xué),可他現(xiàn)在是世界上最富有的人
士之一。說不定Jack將來會很有出息呢。
今天李華學(xué)到了兩個常用語。一個是own Someone ,意思是在游戲和比賽中
擊敗某人,或是在某個方面比別人強(qiáng)。李華學(xué)到的另一個常用語是goner 意思是
完了,沒希望了。
