Larry下课后在校园里碰到李华。他问李华需不需要去邮局。今天李华会学到两个常用语：fixing to do something（准备要做某件事）和tricked-out（形容一样东西很豪华，有各种新式的装置）。  
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：
Hey
Li Hua
Professor Smith
Wow
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

Hey, Li Hua, I'm fixing to go to the post office to mail a package. Do you need to buy stamps or mail something?
No. Fixing to do something means that you are getting ready to do it. "I'm fixing to go to the post office" means that I'm getting ready to go to the post office.
It's used all over the U.S., but it's more commonly used in the southern states.
Absolutely. Hey, did you notice how tired Professor Smith looked in class today? He looked as though he was fixing to fall asleep in the middle of his lecture.
I didn't know that he's fixing to compete in a marathon? Wow, that's impressive.
No wonder he's tired. I'd be exhausted.
Yeah, I'm going to go and mail this package before post office closes. They should be fixing to close up soon, so I had better hurry.LL: Hey, Li Hua, I'm fixing to go to the post office to mail a package. Do you need to buy stamps or mail something?
LH: Larry，你要去邮局寄包裹。这和修理东西有什么关系？为什么你说fixing to go to the post office？是不是你去邮局前，要先修什么东西啊？
LL: No. Fixing to do something means that you are getting ready to do it. "I'm fixing to go to the post office" means that I'm getting ready to go to the post office.
LH: 啊！我懂了，fixing to do something就是准备要做什么事。Larry，我从来没听过这种说法。
LL: It's used all over the U.S., but it's more commonly used in the southern states.
LH: 原来这是在美国南方常用的说法。Larry，我很想和你一块儿去邮局，不过我准备去图书馆，我想在晚饭前看点书。I am fixing to go to the library to study before dinner. Larry，我这么说对吗？
LL: Absolutely! Hey, did you notice how tired Professor Smith looked in class today? He looked as though he was fixing to fall asleep in the middle of his lecture.
LH: 是呀，今天Smith教授看起来好累，在课堂上讲课时好想要睡着一样。不过你知道吗？他正在为下个月参加马拉松赛跑作准备，也许他锻炼过度，所以才这么累。
LL: I didn't know that he's fixing to compete in a marathon? Wow, that's impressive.
LH: 就是啊！我真难以想像他怎么能在上课之余还能找出时间来锻炼呢。
LL: No wonder he's tired. I'd be exhausted.
LH: 嗯，对了，我得去图书馆了，一会儿见！
LL: Yeah, I'm going to go and mail this package before post office closes. They should be fixing to close up soon, so I had better hurry.
LH：那就快走吧！ 否则邮局关门了。你这包裹就寄不出去了。
