【流行美语】174:很脏的地方;喜欢抢风头(1/2)
李华看到报上登出的有关公寓的广告,租金比较便宜,于是她和Larry一起去看那公寓。今天李华会学到两个常用语:dump和ham。
今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是dump,是指一个像垃圾堆,很脏,条件很差的地方。另一个常用语是ham,是指一个很喜欢别人注意,喜欢抢风头的人。
只需要听写文中出现的【男生说的】英文部分,中文对话部分(包括里面个别的英语词组)不需要听写!!
Hints:

"Dump" as in "garbage dump." I mean that this place is far too dirty and poorly maintained for you to live in it.
The paint is peeling off of the walls, the ceiling leaks, and the refrigerator looks 50 years old. I don't think I've ever seen such a dump.
Are there any other apartments that you are planning to go and see today?
I don't know, Li Hua. This really isn't a very good area of the city. Maybe you should look at apartments somewhere else.
That's possible. In that case, I think that maybe you should stay in your current apartment.
Your apartment is a palace compared to this dump.
That's a good idea.LL: Oh my God! This place is a dump! You couldn't possibly live here!
LH: 这地方真够糟的!Larry,你说这是个dump,那是什么意思啊?
LL: "Dump" as in "garbage dump." I mean that this place is far too dirty and poorly maintained for you to live in it.
LH: 所以dump就是指像垃圾堆一样,很脏,各种条件都很差....哎呀!有一只大蟑螂刚跑过去。这地方真的是个dump,怪不得租金这么便宜。
LL: The paint is peeling off of the walls, the ceiling leaks, and the refrigerator looks 50 years old. I don't think I've ever seen such a dump.
LH: 你说的没错,这里墙上的油漆都剥落了,天花板在漏水,冰箱看起来又旧又脏。算了算了,我们还是走吧!别在这儿浪费时间,我可不想住在这种地方。 It's really a dump。
LL: Are there any other apartments that you were planning to go and see today?
LH: 还有一个地方我想去看,离这儿只有几条街,但愿那个地方不像这里那么差劲。
LL: I don't know, Li Hua. This really isn't a very good area of the city. Maybe you should look at apartments somewhere else.
LH: 这个区域不好,我想也是,否则这里的公寓租金不会这么便宜! 不过,要是到别处去找,那租金可能比我现在付的更高。
LL: That's possible. In that case, I think that maybe you should stay in your current apartment.
LH: 是吗?你认为我该继续住在我现在的公寓里?也许你说的对,我的公寓租金其实也不算太贵,而且也很舒服呢。
LL: Your apartment is a palace compared to this dump.
LH: 那倒是,和这里比起来,我的公寓可算是皇宫了。我还是打消搬家的念头吧!
LL: That's a good idea.
