这是一个星期六，Larry 和李华来到学校附近一个社区，那里的住户当天都把家里没用的东西拿出来廉价销售。 李华会学到两个常用语：shindig （规模很大，人很多，很热闹的盛会）和a steal（便宜得象白检的东西一样）。

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
Oh
Professor Jackson
Yeah
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

Li Hua, this community yard sale is huge. It is quite a shindig!
Oh, it is an English word all right.
A shindig is a big, noisy event. It can be a party or any big social occasion where there are lots of people.
Remember, last year we went to the party for Professor Jackson's retirement? That was also a big shindig.
Speaking of shindigs, when are you going to have a shindig at your place, Li Hua?
I can't think of a better time to have a big shindig than after exams. I can help you plan it.
Yeah, but it is also a lot dirtier. I wouldn't want to throw a fancy shindig in my messy place.
You're right. I will need your help though.LL: Li Hua, this community yard sale is huge. It is quite a shindig!
LH: 啊，这儿好热闹哟。 这么多住家摆摊儿卖旧货，还有这么多的人来买便宜货。Larry? 你说这是一个shindig，什么是Shindig啊？Shindig听起来好象不象英文词。
LL: Oh, it is an English word all right.
LH: Okay, 是英文词，那么shindig到底是什么意思呢?
LL: A shindig is a big, noisy event. It can be a party or any big social occasion where there are lots of people.
LH: Oh, shindig就是规模很大，很热闹的聚会，或者是某种社会活动。原来如此！这个社区定在今天大家一起卖旧货，吸引了很多人来捡便宜货。这就成了一个shindig。那还有什么场合可以称为shindig？
LL: Remember, last year we went to the party for Professor Jackson's retirement? That was also a big shindig.
LH: 噢，杰克逊教授退休时搞的那次聚会确实可以称作shindig。 当时，系里的研究生和教授们都到场了，向他表示敬意。那次shindig的盛况确实难忘；大家又吃，又喝，真是很痛快！
LL: Speaking of shindigs, when are you going to have a shindig at your place, Li Hua?
LH: 你要在我家里搞一个shindig ? 看来，那么大的聚会总要等到考试以后才能办啦。
LL: I can't think of a better time to have a big shindig than after exams. I can help you plan it.
LH: 就是啊，考完试大家都心情轻松，那是举办shindig 的最好时候。你愿意帮我策划，那太好了。Larry，要是在你家举行不是更好吗？你那里地方大呀！
LL: Yeah, but it is also a lot dirtier. I wouldn't want to throw a fancy shindig in my messy place.
LH：那倒也是，你的家呀，虽然大，但确实是杂乱无章。不过，我可以帮你打扫啊！地方大shindig不是可以有更多的人参加吗？
LL: You're right. I will need your help though.
LH: 嘿， 瞧瞧那些碟子！ 这正是我需要的。
