兩個常用語:comatose 和 mobbed
Larry本來說好晚上到李華家吃飯,但是遲遲不到,李華不知道是怎麼回事,打電話到Larry家。今天我們要學兩個常用語:comatose 和 mobbed。
LL: (Tired sounding) Hello?
LH: Larry, 你怎麼還在家裏,不是說好六點鐘到我這兒來吃飯嗎?
LL: What? What time is it?
LH: 現在已經快七點了!
LL: Oh man, I'm sorry Li Hua. I fell asleep when I got home from work. I was comatose.
LH: Coma what? 你昏迷了嗎?沒出什麼事兒吧?
LL: No, I was just exaggerating, but it was like I was in a coma. I've been asleep for 2 hours.
LH: 你這兩天是不是又因爲趕項目熬夜了?
LL: It wasn't that bad. I just didn't sleep that well last night. My neighbor's dog was barking all night about something. I was out of it all day, and when I got home, I just passed out, comatose.
LH: 我前天晚上在圖書館查資料,實在太累,趴在桌上就睡着了,I was totally comatose for an hour. 最後還是圖書館的工作人員把我叫醒的.,因爲人家要關門了。
LL: I remember the college library being a fine place to take a nap.
LH: 是啊,圖書館裏的椅子都特別舒服,而且又安靜,免費學英語網站,最合適睡覺。
LL: So what we are doing tonight? What is the plan? I feel refreshed after two hours of comatose.
LH: 我本來計劃你過來以後一起吃點兒東西,然後出去看個電影的。
LL: Well it might be a little late to go out to a movie since I was comatose and slept for so long. But I've got a better idea.
LH: 快說,什麼好主意?
LL: The movie Top Mission is coming out on DVD today. How about I stop by the rental store to borrow one and bring it over to your place to watch after dinner?
LH: 確實是好主意。不過Larry,我怎麼沒聽說這部電影呢?講什麼的?
