【流行美语】329：果断行动；留下印象（1/2）
Larry和李华一起坐地铁回家。今天我们要学两个常用语：take the bull by the horns（不回避问题，采取果断行动，勇敢地去面对问题）和knock your socks off（给人留下深刻印象）.
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
head-on
Tammy
“哈哈哈”不听写

I am sorry to hear that, Li Hua. Sleep is really important. It can affect your mood and feelings for an entire day, and it can really wear you down after awhile. So why did you wake up in the middle of the night?
If that's the case, I think you should take the bull by the horns and talk to Tammy because her late night phone calls are interfering with your sleep.
Li Hua, to take the bull by the horns means to confront a problem head-on and to deal with it openly. That's what I think you should do with Tammy.
Exactly. You can tell her that her phone calls are keeping you up at night and that you would appreciate it if she made the calls earlier in the evening or made the calls outside.LL: You look really tired, Li Hua. What have you been up to?
【李华，你看起来很累诶，发生什么事了吗？】
LH: 别提了，我最近两天一直睡不好觉。比如说昨天晚上，凌晨两点醒来后，就再也睡不着了，翻来覆去一直到早上起床。
LL: I am sorry to hear that, Li Hua. Sleep is really important. It can affect your mood and feelings for an entire day, and it can really wear you down after awhile. So why did you wake up in the middle of the night?
【我很抱歉听到这些，李华。睡眠很重要的。它可以影响你的心情以及你一整天的感受，它真的可以带给你一整段时间的影响。话说，你为什么会在半夜醒来啊？】
LH: 还不是因为我那个室友Tammy。她男朋友去西岸上学，跟我们有三个小时的时差，所有她经常半夜三更给男朋友打电话。我们公寓的墙壁又很薄，她一打电话，我就醒过来了。
LL: If that's the case, I think you should take the bull by the horns and talk to Tammy because her late night phone calls are interfering with your sleep.
【如果是这样的话，我觉得你应该当机立断找Tammy谈一谈，告诉她，因为她深夜打电话影响了你的睡眠。】
LH: 你说take the bull by the horns是什么意思，抓住牛角？这跟睡觉有关系吗？
LL: Haha. Li Hua, to take the bull by the horns means to confront a problem head-on and to deal with it openly. That's what I think you should do with Tammy.
哈哈，李华，to take the bull by the horns的意思是直接面对一个问题并且开诚布公地解决它。这正是我建议你对Tammy做的。
LH: 哦，我明白了， taking a bull by the horns意思是采取直接的、果断的行动，你是让我别不好意思，开诚布公地告诉Tammy, 她打电话影响我睡眠。
LL: Exactly. You can tell her that her phone calls are keeping you up at night and that you would appreciate it if she made the calls earlier in the evening or made the calls outside.
【没错。你可以告诉她，她打电话的时间是在你的晚上，你可以告诉她，让她打电话的时间在夜里的早些时候，或者让她到外面去打电话。】
LH: 好，听你的。I will take the bull by the horns and talk to Tammy. 我今天回去就跟Tammy谈。看她能不能十点以前给男朋友打电话或是到外面去打电话。
