【流行美语】195:推诿;平静下来(1/2)
Larry正在申请下学期学校的资助,可是到处碰壁。李华今天会学到两个常用语:runaround(找借口,躲闪,拖延,特别是对提出要求的人)和take a chill pill(平静下来)。
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:
The Financial Aid Office
Li Hua
OK
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

To give someone a runaround means to be deceptive and evasive to someone. They sent me from office to office,but no one can give me the right answers.
They are still giving me the runaround. They say I didn't turn in my application on time, but I know I did.
That's too bad. Since being given the runaround is no fun, what do you say we go for ice cream somewhere?
How about after you grade your papers?
Li Hua, are you giving me the runaround?
Well, you aren't giving me a direct answer for one.
That's OK. Just don't give me the runaround anymore. I've had enough of that!LL: I am so frustrated! The Financial Aid Office is giving me a real runaround!
LH: Larry,你说资助办公室给你什么? Runaround是什么呀?
LL: To give someone a runaround means to be deceptive and evasive to someone. They sent me from office to office,but no one can give me the right answers.
LH: 噢, to give someone a runaround意思是对某人很虚假,躲躲闪闪的。你是说资助办公室打发你到这个办公室那个办公室,可就没有人给你一个明确的回答。Larry,那现在怎么办呢?
LL: They are still giving me the runaround. They say I didn't turn in my application on time, but I know I did.
LH: 他们说你没有交申请表?瞎说,你肯定交了,我还跟你一起去的。你知道, Larry,每次我申请延长学生签证,他们也是把我象皮球那样踢来踢去,gave me a runaround。
LL: That's too bad. Since being given the runaround is no fun, what do you say we go for ice cream somewhere?
LH: 去吃冰淇淋?我不知道能不能去。我今天下午很忙,要批改很多作文。
LL: How about after you grade your papers?
LH: 批改卷子后,我还要写论文。
LL: Li Hua, are you giving me the runaround?
LH: Larry,看你说的,我怎么是在找借口呢?我看你有点多疑吧。
LL: Well, you aren't giving me a direct answer for one.
LH: 没有明确回答你。好吧,Larry,我的回答是不能去,对不起我不能跟你去吃冰淇淋。这行了吧?
LL:That's OK. Just don't give me the runaround anymore. I've had enough of that!
