賴世雄中級美國英語 Lesson 74

字號:

74. Get with It, Bob
    Bob, who is Chinese, is speaking to his American classmate, Jill.
    J: Hi, Bob. What's up?
    B: I don't see anything up in the sky. Do you?
    J: No, Bob. "What's up?" is slang for "What's happening?"
    B: Well, why didn't you just ask me that in the first place?
    J: Get with it, Bob. Everyone uses slang in America. It makes speech more colorful.
    B: I'm having enough trouble learning English.
    J: But you should give it your best shot, Bob.
    B: Why?
    J: How else can you get to meet American chicks?
    B: What chick? I don't like eggs.
    J: "Chicks" mean "girls," you fool.
    B: Oh, I give up!
