【流行美语】128：从头做起
李华正在为朋友的生日party做准备，她生平第一次烤了一个蛋糕。今天李华会学到两个常用语：from scratch和all set.
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:
Mmmm
Ok
Li Huahttp://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201204/201204040423533489614.mp3Mmmm. This is delicious. Did you make this from scratch or did you use a cake mix?
Then you did make it from scratch. To make something from scratch is to make it yourself using all of the basic ingredients.
A lot of people nowadays use a pre-packaged cake mix with all the ingredients in it already, so it's easier to make.
Well, you should be proud of yourself. This cake is great.
No, but I tried making chocolate chip cookies from scratch once.
They were awful because I forgot to put oil in them. After that, I decided that it was best if I didn't try to make things from scratch anymore.
I know, but I'm not that patient.
All right, Li Hua. The cake is ready, the drinks are prepared, and the decorations look great. I think we are all set.
That's right. To be "all set" is to be ready for whatever it is you're going to do. In this case, we are all set to have a party.
If you're ready to have fun, then of course you can say that. Hey, what about the music - is that all set?
Great. Now, I'm all set to eat more of that cake you made. It's really delicious
I know. I was just kidding. Hey, do you have a place for people to put presents?
Ok, since everything is all set, we can relax until the guests start arriving.
Preparing a party isn't that bad; it's cleaning up afterwards that's a lot of work.
Of course.LH: Larry, 这是我烤的蛋糕，你尝尝。这可是我生平第一次烤蛋糕，不一定会好吃！
LL: Mmmm! This is delicious! Did you make this from scratch or did you use a cake mix?
LH: 你觉得好吃呀？太好了！哎，你刚才问我是不是make it from scratch? 那是什么意思啊？我是照因特网上的一个食谱做的。
LL: Then you did make it from scratch. To make something from scratch is to make it yourself using all of the basic ingredients.
LH: 原来to make something from scratch就是自己用基本材料，从头做起。是呀，我用鸡蛋、面粉、牛奶和黄油做的。还有别的做蛋糕的方法？
LL: A lot of people nowadays use a pre-packaged cake mix with all the ingredients in it already, so it's easier to make.
LH: 用事先调好的蛋糕粉那当然简单多了。那多没意思啊！自己把所有的材料准备好，从头开始做，其实很好玩呢！
LL: Well, you should be proud of yourself. This cake is great!
LH: 谢谢，你说好吃我就放心了！对了，Larry，你有没有自己烤过蛋糕？
LL: No, but I tried making chocolate chip cookies from scratch once.
LH: 自己做巧克力饼干啊？好吃吗？
LL: They were awful because I forgot to put oil in them. After that, I decided that it was best if I didn't try to make things from scratch anymore.
LH: 忘了放油！那饼干肯定会太硬。你一次没做成功就决定下回不做了！你知道，做这种东西是试验好多次才行。
LL: I know, but I'm not that patient.
LH: 嗨，要做好就得要有耐心嘛！
******
LL: All right, Li Hua. The cake is ready, the drinks are prepared, and the decorations look great. I think we are all set.
LH: We are all set？ 这是什么意思？蛋糕、饮料都准备好了，一切都布置好了。你的意思是一切准备就绪了，是吗？
LL: That's right. To be "all set" is to be ready for whatever it is you're going to do. In this case, we are all set to have a party.
LH: 对，要举行party的个方面似乎都准备好了。那我是不是可以说we're all set to have fun at the party?
LL: If you're ready to have fun, then of course you can say that. Hey, what about the music - is that all set?
LH: 音乐啊？没问题！我把激光唱机和几片激光盘全放桌上了。So it's all set.
LL: Great! Now, I'm all set to eat more of that cake you made. It's really delicious
LH: 不行，你现在还不能吃这蛋糕，要等做生日的人吹完蜡烛后才能吃的！
LL: I know. I was just kidding. Hey, do you have a place for people to put presents?
LH: 放礼物的地方啊？早准备好了！我在进门的地方有张桌子。大家可以把礼物和生日卡放在那儿。.
LL: Okay, since everything is all set, we can relax until the guests start arriving.
LH: 我早就准备好在客人来以前先休息一下。筹办一个生日party 可真是够累人的！
LL: Preparing a party isn't that bad; it's cleaning up afterwards that's a lot of work.
LH: Party结束后，我想你一定会帮我收拾的。对不对？
LL：Of course!
李华学到两个常用语。第一个是from scratch, 意思就是从头做起。第二个常用语是all set, 就是一切就绪，准备好了的意思。
