【流行美语】198：做事积极的人；枯燥的工作（1/2）
Larry在跟李华讲他办公室里新来的实习生。今天李华会学到两个常用语：eager beaver(做事特别积极，努力的人)和grunt work(简单枯燥的工作)。
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：
Li Hua
OK
Yeah
今天开始流行美语开始改版~~~早晚8点各更新一次，两期是一篇完整的音频~~谢谢大家支持

No, the new intern isn't an actual beaver! But he works hard and is always busy like a beaver building a dam. He is always eager to do work, so we say he is an "eager beaver."
I am not quite the eager beaver that the new intern is. I've been in the office a while. People are generally eager beavers when they are new to a job and want to impress their bosses.
And would you say you still are an eager beaver when it comes to teaching Chinese?
That's OK, Li Hua. While being an eager beaver can be a good thing, someone can also take it too far.
Well, the intern in my office is such an eager beaver he wants to do everything! He ends up making my work more complicated.
Yeah, that's right. He always wants to help, but sometimes I work better on my own.
What a good idea!LL: A new intern started working in my office today. He sure is an eager beaver, Li Hua!
LH: Beaver不是海狸吗？动物怎么能到办公室实习呢？
LL: No, the new intern isn't an actual beaver! But he works hard and is always busy like a beaver building a dam. He is always eager to do work, so we say he is an "eager beaver."
LH: 对了，我想起来了。Beaver不仅指海狸，有时也指工作勤劳的人。Eager就是很热情的意思，所以"eager beaver"指的是做事特别努力，特别积极的人。 Larry， 我看你也是个"eager beaver"，早出晚归的。
LL: I am not quite the eager beaver that the new intern is. I've been in the office a while. People are generally eager beavers when they are new to a job and want to impress their bosses.
LH: 没错，一般新到一个地方工作的人会特别热情积极，因为他们要让老板有个好印象。我刚开始教中文的时候， 也特别卖力，每天都花很多时间备课。
LL: And would you say you still are an eager beaver when it comes to teaching Chinese?
LH: 现在呢，不像刚开始那么卖劲了。像你一样，我也不是以前的eager beaver了。
LL: That's OK, Li Hua. While being an eager beaver can be a good thing, someone can also take it too far.
LH: 勤奋当然是好事呀！居然还会有的人勤奋过头？这是什么意思？
LL: Well, the intern in my office is such an eager beaver he wants to do everything! He ends up making my work more complicated.
LH: 这个实习生什么都要做，这不是很好吗， 怎么会给你添麻烦呢？
LL: Yeah, that's right. He always wants to help, but sometimes I work better on my own.
LH: 你要是有的时候喜欢自己做，不要别人插手的话，你不能对他说你不需要帮忙嘛！对了，Larry，也许你可以想办法让他作一些你不喜欢作的事呀。
LL: What a good idea!
