【流行美语】228：很棒；加速改变（2/2）
Larry和李华今天去看赛车。李华会学到两个常用语sick（很棒、很酷）和souped up（为了加快速度而改装某样东西）。
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:
Yahoo
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

"Souped up" means changed or altered to go faster.
That's right. If someone takes an ordinary bicycle and changes the wheels so it can go faster, we can say "it was souped up" .
One time I had a skateboard, but it wasn't very fast. My Dad helped me soup it up with some new parts. After that my skateboard was one of the fastest in the neighborhood.
Souped up is also often used with the Internet. When Google or Yahoo makes an improvement in their search engine, they'll often say that a certain type of search has been souped up.
For some people, souping up motorcycles or cars is their hobby. I knew a guy who was always souping up something in his spare time.
Well, looks like the red car has won the race, let's go home.
Too bad we can't take one of these souped up cars. Quickly get home for dinner. I'm hungry.LH: Larry, 看赛车真有意思。你看，赛车奔驰而过，人群不断地呐喊助威，多热闹啊。
LL: A lot of people come to car races for the excitement but a lot just come to see the souped up cars.
LH: See the souped up cars? Soup不是汤吗？Souped up cars是什么呀？
LL: "Souped up" means changed or altered to go faster.
LH: 噢，souped up的意思是经过改装，速度加快了。这里的赛车一定都经过改装。它们的速度比普通汽车要快得多。
LL: That's right. If someone takes an ordinary bicycle and changes the wheels so it can go faster, we can say "it was souped up" .
LH: 自行车也能改装加速吗？那我的自行车也该换换车胎了。
LL: One time I had a skateboard, but it wasn't very fast. My Dad helped me soup it up with some new parts. After that my skateboard was one of the fastest in the neighborhood.
LH: 滑板也能改装，让它加快速度呀？ 你可要注意安全啊。对了，我以前也改装过电脑。我的朋友帮我安装了一些新的电脑软件，那电脑一下子快了不少。我用了好多年，直到没法再加快了。后来我只好再买一个新的。
LL: Souped up is also often used with the Internet. When Google or Yahoo makes an improvement in their search engine, they'll often say that a certain type of search has been souped up.
LH: 对了，上回我看到Google和Yahoo的广告，说它们的搜索引擎速度加快，当时我也不懂什么是souped up。今天才弄清楚，souped up就是为了加快速度而改装。
LL：For some people, souping up motorcycles or cars is their hobby. I knew a guy who was always souping up something in his spare time.
LH：还有人把改装东西作为嗜好？真是难以想象。我要有空就去购物中心。
LL: Well, looks like the red car has won the race, let's go home.
LH: 我就说嘛，那辆红车一定会赢。我们走吧。
LL: Too bad we can't take one of these souped up cars. Quickly get home for dinner. I'm hungry.
