    John: Today's phrase is airhead.
    Helen: 我們今天的新詞是 airhead 空氣頭. Any idea what it means John?
    John: Of course I do, I use it all the time, in fact sometimes I'm a bit of an airhead. It means to be a stupid or unaware person.
    Helen: 嗯,airhead. 這個(gè)詞的真正意思是指那些腦袋空空如也的傻瓜蛋, John 當(dāng)然不是這樣人了。這個(gè)詞還有其它含義嗎?
    John: The term implies there is nothing in a person's head except air.

    Helen: 他完全是一個(gè)沒頭腦的傻瓜。
