【流行美语】279：惊讶；凑合（2/2）
李华到中国去做研究，要走三个月，热恋中的Larry十分思念李华。李华的好友王小燕打电话给Larry安慰他。
我们今天学习了两个常用语。一个是gee whiz, 是表示惊讶的意思。另一个是holding up
是勉强，凑合的意思。
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
Xiao yan
okay
John Smith
Oh

Gee whiz, Xiao yan, your English is really good! We do say that bank robbers "hold up" a bank. But I didn't mean when I said I was "holding up" that I was going to go and rob a bank.
I meant that I was doing okay. When a person says they are "holding up," they mean that while they are sad that times or thinks a tough, they are going ahead with their daily life as best as they can.
But you know, Xiao yan, it has only been three days since Li Hua left. I am not sure how long I can hold up before I start really missing her.
John Smith? I know John, too. What is going on with John?
Oh, that is too bad! How is John holding up, now that he doesn't have a job?
I'm glad John's holding up, and I hope he finds a new job soon.
Hearing about John's situation makes me a little embarrassed that I'm worried about holding up while Li Hua is gone.
You know, Xiao yan, I wonder if Li Hua is missing me?
Li Hua can really take care of herself. If I know Li Hua, she's holding up just fine!XY: 现在李华不在，你过得怎么样，Larry?
LL: Well, Li Hua left for China three days ago. I'm feeling a little sad, but I am holding up.
XY: Holding up? 李华走了，你再伤心也不用去抢银行啊！
LL: Gee whiz, Xiao yan, your English is really good! We do say that bank robbers "hold up" a bank. But I didn't mean when I said I was "holding up" that I was going to go and rob a bank.
XY: 不是抢银行？那你说的holding up是什么意思？
LL: I meant that I was doing okay. When a person says they are "holding up," they mean that while they are sad that times or thinks a tough, they are going ahead with their daily life as best as they can.
XY: 这么说你过得还可以喽？那我就放心了。
LL: But you know, Xiao yan, it has only been three days since Li Hua left. I am not sure how long I can hold up before I start really missing her.
XY: 最好的办法就是给自己找事做，千万不能闲下来。我那天跟John就是这么说的。
LL: John Smith? I know John, too. What is going on with John?
XY: 公司裁员，他因为资历浅，所以第一批就走人了。
LL: Oh, that is too bad! How is John holding up, now that he doesn't have a job?
XY: 我想，还可以吧，他现在正到处找工作呢！
LL: I'm glad John's holding up, and I hope he finds a new job soon.
XY: 他那么聪明，肯定很快就能找到新工作。
LL: Hearing about John's situation makes me a little embarrassed that I'm worried about holding up while Li Hua is gone.
XY: 虽说John的处境比你更糟糕，但是思念自己的女朋友，也没有什么可不好意思的。
LL: You know, Xiao yan, I wonder if Li Hua is missing me?
XY: Gee whiz, Larry! I wonder how she is holding up in China without you? 她会不会跟你一样度日如年呢？
LL: Li Hua can really take care of herself. If I know Li Hua, she's holding up just fine!
