回复: 美国之音--习惯用语(给想看而看不到的人)
李华打电话给Larry,提醒他说好了晚上一起看电影。 今天我们要学两个常用语: space cadet和running around like a chicken with its head cut off.
LL: (Pick up phone) Hello?
LH: Hi, Larry.
LL: How are you, Lihua?
LH: 我挺好。你别忘了,说好了一起看电影,还有半个小时开演。
LL: Oh shoot. I’m so sorry Li Hua. It completely slipped my mind. I feel like such a space cadet.
LH: Space cadet? 太空学员?太空学员常忘事儿吗?
LL: Well not real space cadets, but as a saying "space cadet" means someone who is off in space, or often forgets things that they need to do.
LH: 噢,Space Cadet原来是说心不在焉,爱忘事儿的人。那你绝对合格!不然怎么会忘记约好跟我一起看电影呢。
LL: I guess I just got caught up with this project for work. My space cadet coworker forgot to save it earlier, so we are back to square one.
LH: 啊?你们的项目白做了,要从头开始?我以前写论文也出过忘记存盘的事。I’ve acted like a space cadet before. 那你们要怎么办呢?
LL: It hopefully won’t be too big of a problem, but because he was a space cadet we will have to work a bit late tonight.
LH: 就算是这样,你也不能忘了陪我看电影的事儿啊?This is no excuse for you being a space cadet!
LL: I know. I am sorry.
