The mall was so crowded. I'm totally beat from fighting the crowds all day long.
No, nobody hit me. The expression "I'm beat" means, "I'm exhausted."
It would've taken only two hours at most if we didn't have to spend so much time waiting in line to pay for things. I bet the sales people are really beat by the end of the day.
Well, I'm glad I don't work in a store. I'm so beat that I think I'm going to go to bed very early tonight. What about you?
No, you can only say, "I'm beat from shopping."
Please, don't mention exams. I'm beat just thinking about studying for them.
That's true. I hope my family members appreciate the effort I put into finding their Christmas presents.
I'm afraid I'm not feeling much better. I caught a cold and then I O.D.ed on cold medicine. Now, I feel really tired and spacey.
"To O.D. on something" is short for "to overdose on something."
No, don't worry. Usually, O.D.ing on medicine or drugs is very serious, but I probably took a little bit too much cold medicine, not enough to hurt me.
Hey, please don't mention exams and studying. I don't even want to think about exams now that I have a cold.
I think O.D.ing on some more sleep is a good advice, it's probably the only way I'm going to get through exams with a cold.
I wouldn't mind having some pizza, too. Order enough for both of us.今天Larry和李华花了大半天时间在购物中心里，采购圣诞礼物。今天李华会学到两个常用语：to be beat和to O.D. on something.
LL: The mall was so crowded! I'm totally beat from fighting the crowds all day long.
LH: 就是啊！我从来没有看过这么多人一块儿逛街。哎，Larry，你刚才说I'm beat，是不是说我们挤在人群里的时候，有人打你啊？
LL: No, nobody hit me. The expression "I'm beat" means, "I'm exhausted."
LH: 噢，原来I'm beat，不是打的意思，而是累坏了。其实，我也好累。你想想我们在这儿花了6个小时耶，怎么可能不累。
LL: It would only have taken two hours at most if we didn't have to spend so much time waiting in line to pay for things. I bet the sales people are really beat by the end of the day.
LH: 你说的没错，光是付钱，我们就花了很多时间排队。我看那些售货员一天下来肯定累坏了。
LL: Well, I'm glad I don't work in a store. I'm so beat that I think I'm going to go to bed very early tonight. What about you?
LH: 我也累死了，今晚可能也得早点睡。嘿！Larry, 如果我逛街逛累了，是不是能说shopping beat me?
LL: No, you can only say, "I'm beat from shopping."
LH: 噢，这么说，下星期我要准备期末考试，我应该说：Next week, I'll be beat from studying for my final exams.
LL: Please, don't mention exams. I'm beat just thinking about studying for them.
LH: 哎，Larry，你也别这么想嘛！准备的时候是很累，可是考试考的得好，不也是很高兴的事嘛！
LL: That's true. I hope my family members appreciate the effort I put into finding their Christmas presents.
LH: 你花了那么大功夫买来的礼物，你家人一定会喜欢的。唉！我们俩都累了，还是回家吧。明天见咯！
******
LH: 嘿, Larry, 你好一点了吗？还是你仍然觉得累呢？
LL: I'm afraid I'm not feeling much better. I caught a cold and then I O.D.ed on cold medicine. Now, I feel really tired and spacey.
LH: 什么，你感冒啦？你还说你O.D.了一些感冒药。那是什么意思？严不严重啊？
LL: "To O.D. on something" is short for "to overdose on something."
LH: O.D.就是服药过量啊？那不是很危险吗？你是不是该去医院检查一下啊？
LL: No, don't worry. Usually, O.D.ing on medicine or drugs is very serious, but I probably took a little bit too much cold medicine, not enough to hurt me.
LH: Oh, 那就好！你刚才真把我吓一跳。其实我也不太舒服。我看了好几个小时的书，现在头好疼呢！
LL: Hey, please don't mention exams and studying. I don't even want to think about exams now that I have a cold!
LH: 好啦！我不再提念书和考试了嘛！Larry, 也许你应该少吃些感冒药，多多睡觉。这样或许会感觉好一些。
LL: I think O.D.ing on some more sleep is a good advice, it's probably the only way I'm going to get through exams with a cold.
LH: 那好，如果你想多睡觉多休息，我可要多叫点比萨来吃，我快饿坏了！
LL: I wouldn't mind having some pizza, too. Order enough for both of us.
LH: Larry, 如果你还能感觉肚子饿，那你肯定没有病的太严重啦！
今天李华学到两个常用语，第一个是to be beat，意思是因为做某件事而累坏了，就是to be beat from something。第二个常用语是to O.D. on something，意思是对某个东西服用过量。
