Larry和李華剛看完一部最新的恐怖片，兩人在離開戲院時還在討論這部電影。今天李華會學(xué)到兩個常用語：go overboard和guzzle。
LH: 這電影好恐怖，真嚇人噢！
LL: Actually, I think it was kind of disappointing. I think the director went a little overboard with some of the special effects.
LH: 你是在說導(dǎo)演和電影里的特效，但是你說的“went a little overboard"，我可不懂。那是什么意思？
LL: To go overboard with something is to go too far with it or use too much of it. I think the director relied too much on special effects.
LH: 噢，原來to go overboard就是做得過頭了，太過份了。所以你剛才是說這部電影的導(dǎo)演用了太多特效，對嗎？
LL: Exactly. I think the writers went a little overboard, too.
LH: ??？連編劇都做過頭了，為什么呀？
LL: Well, the writers created a main character who is a pilot, a linguist, a professor, and an expert in martial arts. That sounds a little overboard to me!
LH: 那倒也是。他們把主角寫成是一個飛行員、語言學(xué)家兼教授、而且還是武術(shù)高手，是有點(diǎn)太夸張了！一個角色有這么多才能，好像有點(diǎn)不真實(shí)了。
LL: Yup. Of course, maybe I'm going a little overboard by analyzing a movie so much. After all, it is just a movie.
LH: 你覺得你對這部電影的分析太過份啦？我倒沒有這種感覺。是的，這只不過是一部電影。但是看完電影大家不是都討論分析嗎？
LL: Aaaagh?
LH: Larry，你怎么啦？
LL: My stomach hurts. I think I went overboard with the popcorn.
LH: 我剛才就告訴你別吃那么多爆米花，你看，現(xiàn)在胃開始疼了吧？
******
LL: Aaaagh (groan).
LH: Larry，怎么啦，你的胃還在疼呀？
LL: Well, I pigged out on popcorn and then I was really thirsty, so I guzzled a large soda. Now, I'm really uncomfortable.
LH: Guzzle a large soda? 你是說你喝了一大杯汽水，是這個意思嗎？
LL: Yeah, to guzzle something is to drink it quickly. The salt in the popcorn made me really thirsty, so I guzzled a bunch of soda.
LH: Guzzle就是很快喝下去的意思。我知道，那就是說，你大口大口地喝了好多汽水。哼，你吃了那么多爆米花，那玩意兒又干又咸的，你口渴了就往下灌汽水。這么吃胃不疼才怪呢！
LL: I know. I know. I'm suffering the consequences of my actions.
LH: 對了，你毫無克制地吃爆米花，接著大口地喝汽水。你現(xiàn)在知道這么做的后果，吃苦頭了吧！你真是自作自受！
LL: Yes, I know. Usually I don't guzzle soda like that.
LH: 是呀，我從來沒有見你喝過那么多汽水 - guzzle so much soda。
LL：Yes, I've never done that before. I just suffered a temporary lapse in judgment.
LH：我看也是，你真是一時糊涂。好啦，看你這么難受，我們趕快回家，讓你吃點(diǎn)藥，看能不能好一些。
LL: That's a good idea. I have some Pepto Bismol in my medicine cabinet. That should make me feel better.
LH: Larry，你家里老有這種叫Pepto Bismol的藥呀？我知道那是胃不舒服的時候吃的藥。聽我的勸，Larry，下回再口渴，還是喝白水好！
LL：You're right!
今天李華學(xué)到兩個常用語。第一個是go overboard，就是指做什么事做得太過頭，太過火的意思。另一個常用語是guzzle，是指很快喝下什么飲料。
