写出文中划线部分缺少的句子即可,一句一段(注意句首大小写问题,每段最后不用加标点)。让我们开始今天的内容吧
Professor, Jeff说自己laid-back,就是性格随和吧?
Professor: That's right!
那Steve和Jeff说了好多什么drama、 "drama queen"的,这都是什么意思啊?
Professor: "Drama" is a short form of the word "dramatic." _______________________________.
噢,drama是“是非”的意思,爱没事找事的家伙就是"drama queen"。
Professor: Exactly. If you lived with a drama queen, he or she would probably "get on your nerves," _________________. Well, Winnie, in this next section, listen for the word "pet peeve," _______________________.
Jeff: Well I'm glad you're laid back like me. But tell me, do you have any pet-peeves?
Steve: Actually, yes. ________________________.
Jeff: I know! Mooches really get on my nerves. My last roommate was a big mooch. _________________. And he never paid me back!
Steve: I really think it's important for each roommate to pull his weight around the house. It's really unfair if only one of the roommates is doing all the work.
Jeff: Exactly. ________________________________. I think we would be good roommates. Do you want to move in?
Steve: Sounds great!
哈,pet peeve就是最让受不了的事。我也受不了mooches, 这些小气鬼!对了,他们还说有些室友don't pull their weight,这是什么意思?
Professor: _______________________________. If you had a roommate who doesn't pull his weight around the house, you would have to do all the housework.
Steve和Jeff性格简直就是一个模子里刻出来的,一定能成为好室友。If someone is always taking small problems and acting as if they are a really big deal, you can say he creates a lot of drama
meaning "bother you a lot"
meaning "a small problem that really bothers you"
I really hate living with mooches. They always eat all of your food and ask you to pay for everything
Every time we went out to a restaurant, when the bill came he would always say he didn't have any money and ask me to lend him some
We each need to pull our weight by cleaning the dishes, taking out the garbage and paying the bills
People who don't pull their weight are those who don't do their share in a common task |
