Right, but when I said the concert was boss, I meant it was really great.
LH: You know how a boss is above his employees and tells them what to do? Something that is boss is above the others. And better than the rest.
The special effects in the new Star Wars movie were boss. They were much better than in the older Star Wars movies.
Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Fire engine red with leather seats and a sunroof. That is definitely one boss car.
If you don't think something is that great, you can say something is not so boss.
You are right. In fact, last week's act wasn't so boss. I was there.
And wait until you hear the lead guitarist start playing. I think you'll find he is pretty boss, too.
What a mob scene! The concert is over and now there are people everywhere.
Well, "a mob scene" is a big group of people, who are acting in a random and disorderly way.
Yes, the theaters were mobbed for the opening of Star Wars. I am going to wait a few weeks to see it when the lines will be shorter.
Well, the subway will probably also be mobbed. It will be just as much of a mob scene on the train as it is here.
Okay, Li Hua, I've got an idea about how to get away from this mob. Follow me. I know a shortcut!LL: Hey, Li Hua, I can't wait for the band to start playing. The last concert I went to by this band was totally boss.
LH: 你说上回去听这个乐队演出怎么啦?Boss?那不是指监督工作的老板吗?
LL: Right, but when I said the concert was boss, I meant it was really great.
LH: 啊?Boss在这里是形容演唱会很棒的意思,可是Boss跟很棒有什么关系呀?
LH: You know how a boss is above his employees and tells them what to do? Something that is boss is above the others. And better than the rest.
LH: 噢,因为老板,也就是boss比其他人更能干,指挥手下人干活,所以就是棒!那我很喜欢星际大战电影里的特效,我能不能说they were boss?
LL: The special effects in the new Star Wars movie were boss. They were much better than in the older Star Wars movies.
LH: 对,我同意。新的星际大战里面的特效比以前的星际大战更棒。Larry,你看到Rick 买的新车吗?
LL: Yeah, it is nice, isn't it? Fire engine red with leather seats and a sunroof. That is definitely one boss car.
LH: 我可不喜欢那大红颜色,象救火车。可是皮座垫和天窗我倒很喜欢。Larry,要是我认为一样东西不太棒,那该怎么说呀?
LL: If you don't think something is that great, you can say something is not so boss.
LH: 要是今天的演出很棒,我就可以说:They are boss! 但是上星期的表演不怎么样,那就是:They weren't so boss.
LL: You are right. In fact, last week's act wasn't so boss. I was there.
LH: 嘿!你看!乐团出来了。哇!他们的服装好棒噢!So boss!
LL: And wait until you hear the lead guitarist start playing. I think you'll find he is pretty boss, too.
LH: 你说那吉他手很棒呀?那他肯定很有名,是吗?嘘!要开场了。别说话了!
******
LL: What a mob scene! The concert is over and now there are people everywhere.
LH: 就是,演唱会一结束,大家都抢着要回家,你瞧这人群哪!哎,Larry, 什么是mob scene?
LL: Well, "a mob scene" is a big group of people, who are acting in a random and disorderly way.
LH: 噢,mob scene就是指乱糟糟的一大群人。上星期我去看星际大战电影的首映,买票的人排着队打闹说笑,有票的人在门口等着开场。That was a real mob scene.
LL: Yes, the theaters were mobbed for the opening of Star Wars. I am going to wait a few weeks to see it when the lines will be shorter.
LH: 早知道首映的时候会那么多人,我也该象你这样等几个星期再去看,就不必排那么长的队了。Larry, 我们该往哪儿走呀?我们得脱离这个mob scene才行,不然我们什么时候才能到家呀!
LL: Well, the subway will probably also be mobbed. It will be just as much of a mob scene on the train as it is here.
LH: 啊?连地铁也会象这里一样挤满人啊?那我们别去和人挤了。我们先走一段路吧!
LL: Okay, Li Hua, I've got an idea about how to get away from this mob. Follow me. I know a shortcut!
LH:哟,你还知道小路呐。你早说呀!
