LL: Freaky means scary or really weird. That bug was definitely freaky.

LH: 噢，freaky是形容很可怕或者很怪。一點都沒錯，那只大蟑螂真的是既惡心又可怕。我最怕蟑螂，尤其是這么大的！

LL: What do you think of spiders?

LH: 蜘蛛？我覺得蜘蛛比蟑螂更可怕！

LL: Yeah, I don't like spiders very much either. My friend has a pet tarantula, which is a really big hairy spider, and it is the freakiest thing I've ever seen.

LH: 我真搞不懂，像你朋友那樣的人怎么會養(yǎng)蜘蛛當寵物，毛茸茸的蜘蛛想起來就讓人頭皮發(fā)麻，怎么還能當寵物，真是freaky耶！

LL: Pet tarantulas are actually pretty common. You can buy them in any pet shop.

LH: 嗨，我才不管這種蜘蛛寵物是不是很常見。我還是覺得養(yǎng)蜘蛛當寵物真是很怪，很可怕的，very freaky！

LL: There's a horror movie about giant spiders that is so freaky that I can't even bear to watch it.

LH: 噢，你是說那部有大蜘蛛的電影？嗯，我還記得看過他們的廣告。別說去看了，我連想都沒想過。如果我真的去看了那電影，大概會做一個月的惡夢。

LL: Yeah, I only watched a few minutes of it before I decided that it was too freaky for me.

LH: 瞧，連你這個大男生都不敢看，那電影一定很freaky。對了，Larry，除了蟑螂、蜘蛛，你覺得蛇是不是也很freaky？

LL: Actually, snakes don't bother me that much. Rats don't bother me very much, either.

LH: 啊，你不怕蛇，也不怕老鼠。好怪噢！我啊，我覺得蛇跟老鼠就像蜘蛛一樣恐怖！

******

LL: Hey, Li Hua, would you wig out and refuse to come to my apartment if I got a pet rat?

LH: 你想在家里養(yǎng)老鼠當寵物，還問我會不會wig out，那是什么意思??？

LL: To wig out means the same as to freak out. It means to get very excited or upset.

LH: 噢，wig out跟freak out意思一樣，就是讓人激動，或者把人嚇壞了。哎，Larry，你是真的想養(yǎng)一只老鼠當寵物啊？

LL: They actually make good pets and they are relatively easy to care for.

LH: 你覺得養(yǎng)老鼠當寵物比較簡單，那你就去養(yǎng)，我管不著，不過，我可能再也不敢去你家了。

LL: That's what I was afraid of. I wouldn't mind having a pet rat, but I don't want to make all of my friends wig out, either.

LH: 嗯，聽你這么一說，我倒強烈建議你別養(yǎng)老鼠。我想很多人，特別是女孩子，大概會被你的寵物嚇跑。這樣你想交女朋友的希望就更加渺茫嘍！

LL: I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, I don't want to meet a nice girl then cause her to wig out when she finds out that I have a pet rat.

LH: 就是啊，為了一只老鼠，嚇跑了女朋友，那就不上算了。不過話說回來，Larry，你要是真的很想養(yǎng)寵物，就別太在意別人的想法嘛！

LL: I know, but I don't want people wigging out every time they come to my apartment.

LH: 你又想養(yǎng)寵物，又怕朋友被嚇跑。對了，或許你可以考慮養(yǎng)魚啊，一般人不會怕魚，有的魚還非常好看吶！

LL：That's a good idea!

今天李華學(xué)到兩個常用語。第一個是freaky，是形容很可怕，很怪的意思。另一個常用語是wig out，這是指讓人激動，或者使人很害怕的意思。
