实用英语：Oh, Boy! 哇噢！
Larry和李华开车到游乐园去坐过山车。LL: Oh, Boy! Isn't this amusement park great, Li Hua! I can't wait to take
a ride on the roller coaster.
LH: Oh, Boy?我知道你早就盼着来这儿坐过山车。可你说oh boy是什么意思啊?
LL: "Oh, Boy!" is a common American expression that really has nothing to
do with boys at all.
LH: 那你刚才说Oh boy是什么意思呢?
LL: When I said "Oh, Boy!" I was expressing that I was excited about coming
to the park and that I was looking forward to the fun we are going to have
today.
LH: 所以你说Oh boy是表示高兴和兴奋。
LL: That's right. Oh, Boy! Li Hua, look at that. There is someone selling
cotton candy. I love cotton candy.
LH: 我从没吃过棉花糖，好吃吗?
LL: Oh, boy, is it ever! It is so light and sweet. I am sure you will love
it.
LH: Oh boy! Larry, 你看，那边有旋转木马。
LL: Well, let's take a ride on the carousel. It will be a lot of fun. But
did you see the roller coaster, Li Hua? Oh, boy... (Nervous tone)
LH: 怎么了?刚才你说oh boy, 好象不太高兴。
LL: I just saw that the roller coaster flips you upside down, and I really
don't like roller coasters that flip you upside down. Oh, boy...
LH: 可你刚才不是说oh boy是高兴的意思吗?
LL: Well, it all depends on your tone, Li Hua. If you say "Oh, Boy!" like
this, it means you are happy. If you say "Oh, boy" like this, it means you are
concerned or dismayed about something.
LH: 噢，我明白了。 Oh boy既可以指让人高兴的事，也可以指让人担心的事，完全取决于语气。
LL: That's right, Li Hua. It all depends on how you say it.
