夏天的時(shí)候，Larry和李華開車去海邊玩。李華會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語：jazzed和to catch some waves。

LL: Li Hua, I am really jazzed about this trip to the beach.

LH: Jazz不是爵士樂嗎？我們?nèi)ズ＿吀羰繕酚惺裁搓P(guān)系呢？

LL: You are right, but by Jazzed I mean to be really excited. I am really looking forward to spending some time at the beach today.

LH: 我知道了，Jazzed的意思是很興奮。其實(shí)我也挺高興的，不過我想知道有什么事情讓你這么興奮呢？

LL: There are three reasons. First, I am really jazzed to not be working! I have been working really hard on a project for my boss, and it is really nice to have some time off.

LH: 對，你為你老板的那個(gè)項(xiàng)目花了一個(gè)月的時(shí)間，現(xiàn)在完成了當(dāng)然要放松一下嘍。不用上班，這個(gè)理由很成立，另外兩個(gè)理由呢？

LL: Second, I am very jazzed about trying out my new surf board and riding some waves.

LH: 你想試試你新買的沖浪板。那也合理，你那新的沖浪板真是很漂亮。要我是你，I would be very jazzed, too. 不過呢，我只想躲在陽傘下面看書。

LL: I don't see how you can get jazzed about reading a book, Li Hua.

LH: Oh, Larry, 你喜歡沖浪，我喜歡看書。各人的興趣不同嘛。

LL: I guess that is what makes the world interesting! I get really jazzed about playing Frisbee at the beach, too.

LH: 在沙灘上扔飛盤，那有什么好玩的？那是小孩玩的東西。

LL: Remember what you said, Li Hua? Different people get jazzed about different things.

LH: 沒錯(cuò)，沒錯(cuò)，我是說過。

LL: Remember, the guy in our English class really get jazzed about flying kites. We should have asked him to come to the beach with us today.

LH: 對了，忘了邀請他一起來了。你不是說有三個(gè)理由讓你興奮嗎？

LL: Yes, the third reason is that I am jazzed to be spending some time with one of my favorite friends. And that would be you, Li Hua.

LH: 第三個(gè)理由是跟像我這樣的好朋友一起出游讓你感到興奮。Larry，你的嘴可真甜吶。不過，我還是謝謝你的好意。

******

LL: Well, now that I've put on some sun screen, Li Hua, I am going to go catch some waves.

LH: Catch some waves? 你能抓到海浪嗎？

LL: Ha, ha. I don't mean with my arms. To catch some waves- WAVES, means to ride some waves on your surfboard.

LH: Oh, 我明白了， 你是要去沖浪。 不過，今天的浪不太，即使是用新的沖浪板也不好沖喲。

LL: You are right, Li Hua. It isn't the best day to catch waves. The waves aren't very big, but I can at least try out my new surfboard by catching some little waves.

LH: 不管是大浪還是小浪， 反正有浪就行了。Go and catch your waves。我在這里看我的書。

LL: Oh, come on Li Hua, why don't you come out and catch some waves with me?

LH: 我不知道怎么沖浪，我從來沒有試過。

LL: Catching waves isn't hard, Li Hua. I can show you how.

LH: Okay, 那我去試試。不過， 你知道我有點(diǎn)緊張。

LL: Oh, it will be fine, Li Hua. Let's go catch some waves.

(Ocean/splashing sounds)

LH: 我們已經(jīng)在水里了，那怎么沖浪呢？

LL: First, you hold on to the surfboard like this. And then you wait for a wave to catch. When a big wave comes along, you stand up on the surfboard and ride it.

LH: 我來試試。 把沖浪板拿好， 然后海浪一來，就站到?jīng)_浪板上。噢，我的天啊， 大浪來了！

LL: Okay, Li Hua, try to stand up. Good job, you caught your first wave!

LH: Wheeeee, 我第一次沖浪成功了！

LL: See, I told you catching some waves isn't hard.

LH: 沖浪是不難。 Larry，我們再來一次吧。

今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語。一個(gè)是jazzed, 意思是令人興奮，還有一個(gè)是catch some waves, 意思是海上沖浪。
