        李华气喘吁吁地来接Larry 。李华今天要学两个常用语,off the hook(摆脱困境和责任)和taken aback(感到吃惊).  
       
        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:
          
          
         
         
        okay/Okay
        Li hua

Well, it looks like I'm not off the hook. My car won't be ready until next Monday.
He ignored me for five minutes, and then I finally yelled “Excuse me, could I have some service, please?" I was really taken aback by his rudeness.
No. “Taken aback" means surprised or shocked by something. I was really surprised by his rudeness, because he ignored me even though I was the only customer in the store.
It's okay. He told me that the car's engine needs to be completely redone. It doesn't matter how fast he goes, because he needs to order new parts for a placement.
I'm taken aback by the mechanic's behavior and the terrible situation I'm in.
That's true. He'll still be taken aback, but not as much, because I'll still have a car to use for my business trip this weekend.
Thanks a lot, Li hua. I'm really taken aback by your kindness!

No, it's just that you have gone to a lot of trouble today to help me get out of this horrible situation!
Okay. It looks like I'm off the hook for the weekend.  I got the last rental car available.
You have a safe weekend too. And don't go over the speed limit. I'd be taken aback if the same officer caught you speeding again. He'd be so taken aback that you may get two tickets!LL: Well, it looks like I'm not off the hook. My car won't be ready until next Monday.
LH: 要到星期一才能修好?修车工是怎么跟你说的?
LL: He ignored me for five minutes, and then I finally yelled “Excuse me, could I have some service, please?” I was really taken aback by his rudeness.
LH: Taken aback? 他干嘛推你啊?我们可以告他们!
LL: No. “Taken aback” means surprised or shocked by something. I was really surprised by his rudeness, because he ignored me even though I was the only customer in the store.
LH: 什么?只有你一个人,他还让你等那么久?太过分了。I am taken aback too. 我也觉得很吃惊。而且车也没修好!
LL: It's okay. He told me that the car's engine needs to be completely redone. It doesn't matter how fast he goes, because he needs to order new parts for a placement.
LH: 哦,原来是发动机坏了,要先去买零件,怪不得要那么长时间。Well, I'm taken aback by this whole situation.
LL: I'm taken aback by the mechanic's behavior and the terrible situation I'm in.
LH: 我有个主意。要不咱们去租辆车。这样一来,等你老板发现后,就不会那么生气了。
LL: That's true. He'll still be taken aback, but not as much, because I'll still have a car to use for my business trip this weekend.
LH: 快五点了,我们赶紧去租车。
LL: Thanks a lot, Li hua. I'm really taken aback by your kindness!
LH: (Laughing) 你是说我平时对你不好吗?
LL: (Laughing) No, it's just that you have gone to a lot of trouble today to help me get out of this horrible situation!
LH: 别客气。那我在车里等,你快进去租车吧!
LL: (Out of breath) Okay. It looks like I'm off the hook for the weekend.  I got the last rental car available.
LH: 太棒了,周末开车出去要注意安全噢!
LL: You have a safe weekend too. And don't go over the speed limit. I'd be taken aback if the same officer caught you speeding again. He'd be so taken aback that you may get two tickets!
