Dave? No, I haven't seen him anywhere since professor Jones went off on him yesterday morning.
To go off on someone means to suddenly get very angry at someone. "To go off " can mean "to explode", for instance, something like a bomb or a gun can go off.
Dave asked Professor Jones if he could turn in a paper a few days late, and Professor Jones just went off on him.
Hmm, let me think. I remember when I was in Beijing I tried to pay a taxi driver, and he went off on me for several minutes. I had no idea why he was so angry. It turned out, what I gave him was a counterfeit note.
Li Hua, have you ever gone off on someone here in the US?
She tried to cheat you out of a month's rent? If my roommate did that, I wouldn't just go off on him, I'd take him to court.
So anyway, what's the deal with Professor Jones lately? He always seems to be in a bad mood.
No, no, no, Li Hua. When I ask "what's the deal", I mean "what is the situation?" I was asking why he is in a bad mood.
Really? What's the deal with that? He's been in this department for years!
That seems to be unfair. Well, Li Hua, what's the deal tomorrow night? Is everyone still planning to go together to that concert?
Well, here's the deal: I've got class until six thirty tomorrow, and the concert is at eight. It's probably best if you meet me here at school, since I might not have enough time to pick you all up.
Really? What's the deal with those two? I thought they were really happy together, but I heard that Jill went off on Ed the other night.
Oh well. That's too bad. Anyway, the deal tomorrow is you and your friends who meet me here at school, and we'll all leave together. Ok?LH: Hey, Larry. 你刚下课啊?对了,我刚好要问你,今天你有没有见到Dave?
LL: Dave? No, I haven't seen him anywhere since professor Jones went off on him yesterday morning.
LH: Jones教授对Dave怎么啦?你说他went off on Dave? 那是什么意思呢?
LL: To go off on someone means to suddenly get very angry at someone. "To go off " can mean "to explode", for instance, something like a bomb or a gun can go off.
LH: 噢,to go off on someone就是突然对某人大发脾气,就好像炸弹爆炸,枪支开火那样。那Jones教授为什么突然对Dave大发脾气呢?
LL: Dave asked Professor Jones if he could turn in a paper a few days late, and Professor Jones just went off on him.
LH: Dave 怎么经常要求晚几天交报告呐?唉,也难怪Jones教授要go off on him对他发脾气了。Larry,你再给我举几个go off on someone的例子吧!
LL: Hmm, let me think. I remember when I was in Beijing I tried to pay a taxi driver, and he went off on me for several minutes. I had no idea why he was so angry. It turned out, what I gave him was a counterfeit note.
LH: 你给出租车司机假钞票,那他当然要对你大发脾气咯!
LL: Li Hua, have you ever gone off on someone here in the US?
LH: 我啊,我英文还不是很好,轻易不敢和人吵架。我只有对我过去那个同屋发了好几次脾气,因为她实在太脏,而且还想偷偷搬出去,就是为了想赖掉一个月的房租呢!
LL: She tried to cheat you out of a month's rent? If my roommate did that, I wouldn't just go off on him, I'd take him to court.
******
LL: So anyway, what's the deal with Professor Jones lately? He always seems to be in a bad mood.
LH: What's the deal? 你在说什么啊?deal不是交易的意思吗?你是问我,Jones教授在和什么人作交易?
LL: No, no, no, Li Hua. When I ask "what's the deal", I mean "what is the situation?" I was asking why he is in a bad mood.
LH: 噢,我知道了,what's the deal就是我们中文里常说的"怎么回事"。你刚才是问我,Jones教授心情不好到底是怎么回事。我听说,他对今年没能升上正教授的职位好像挺失望的。
LL: Really? What's the deal with that? He's been in this department for years!
LH: 就是啊! Jones教授在我们系上教书也有好多年了,不给他提升,究竟是怎么回事,谁也不知道。
LL: That seems to be unfair. Well, Li Hua, what's the deal tomorrow night? Is everyone still planning to go together to that concert?
LH: 明天晚上是这样,我和另外三个同学会去听演唱会,可是我的车出问题了,现在还在修车厂呢。Larry,我们能搭你的车去吗?
LL: Well, here's the deal: I've got class until six thirty tomorrow, and the concert is at eight. It's probably best if you meet me here at school, since I might not have enough time to pick you all up.
LH: 哼,你明天6点半才下课,而演唱会8点就开始。对,要你去接我们恐怕是来不及。那就照你说的吧,我们到学校来等你!噢,对了, Ed明天不想去,他和Jill刚分手,不想和Jill见面。
LL: Really? What's the deal with those two? I thought they were really happy together, but I heard that Jill went off on Ed the other night.
LH: 他们俩到底是怎么回事?谁知道!大家都以为他们在一起很高兴。Jill 那天晚上对Ed大发脾气是因为Ed没跟她商量就决定明年到国外去念书。
LL: Oh well. That's too bad. Anyway, the deal tomorrow is you and your friends who meet me here at school, and we'll all leave together. Ok?
LH: 没问题,那就明天晚上在校园见了! |
