【流行美语】274：摆脱困境；感到吃惊（1/2）
李华气喘吁吁地来接Larry 。李华今天要学两个常用语，off the hook（摆脱困境和责任）和taken aback（感到吃惊）.
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:

Yeah

What kind of trouble? Was it a family matter? Are you okay?
Did you get into an accident? I see you left your car running. Do you have engine trouble?
Did he give you a ticket?
Oh, that's a good thing in your case! In this situation, "off the hook" means that you will not be punished for a rule or agreement you violated. The phrase "off the hook" can also mean that a person is relieved of an unwanted responsibility.
Yeah. Let's get in the car. Don't speed, because you might not be let off the hook this time if an officer catches you!
Sure! You're doing me a favor anyway. Let's get to the car mechanic's shop and see if he fixed the company car my boss lent me for this weekend's business trip.
Can you think of any other time that you've been let off the hook? The last time my boss let me off the hook was never!LL: Hey, I was about to call you. I was worried something happened to you, because you're really late!
LH: 实在对不起Larry, 路上出了点事。
LL: What kind of trouble? Was it a family matter? Are you okay?
LH: 没什么。我因为怕迟到，所以开得快了点。谁知道...
LL: Did you get into an accident? I see you left your car running. Do you have engine trouble?
LH: 车倒是没什么状况，可以被警察拦了下来，说我超速。
LL: Did he give you a ticket?
LH: 奇怪的是，警察没给我开罚单，但我的驾驶记录上恐怕已经有污点了。他还说，"he would let me off the hook."那是什么意思啊？
LL: Oh, that's a good thing in your case! In this situation, "off the hook" means that you will not be punished for a rule or agreement you violated. The phrase "off the hook" can also mean that a person is relieved of an unwanted responsibility.
LH: 哦，我明白了，off the hook就是脱身，或是摆脱责任的意思。怪不得那个警察说，"I'll let you off the hook with a warning."就是说警告一下，下次注意就行了。
LL: Yeah. Let's get in the car. Don't speed, because you might not be let off the hook this time if an officer catches you!
LH: 一定一定。哦，Larry, 我来晚了，你没生气吧？You will let me off the hook for being late, right?
LL: Sure! You're doing me a favor anyway. Let's get to the car mechanic's shop and see if he fixed the company car my boss lent me for this weekend's business trip.
LH: 对啊，最好别让你老板知道公司的车现在正在修车铺里。You'll be off the hook if your car is fixed.
LL: Can you think of any other time that you've been let off the hook? The last time my boss let me off the hook was never!
LH: Hahaha! 别急，Larry, 五点以前我们肯定能赶到修车行。
