Larry跟李华一起在超市购物。今天我们要学两个常用语：check out（瞧一瞧）和max out（用到极限）.
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:
Oh
ok
Yeah
流行美语更新频率：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
And this box of chocolate! Now we're ready. Let's go to the checkout.
Let's go ahead and use cash. I actually maxed out my credit card the last time I used it.
It means I used up all the available credit on the card. I reached the maximum amount last month. So, in American slang, we just say “max out."
I maxed out the card because I booked our vacation to Hawaii last month. Don't worry. I intend to pay it off over the next few months.
Well, you can use it when you have reached or exceeded the maximum quantity of something that you are capable of. Some other things I can think of are vacation time and allowed overtime hours.
Exactly. So regarding our trip to Hawaii. I managed to max out my credit card and my vacation time. It better be worth it!
Oh, it's true. You have to be very careful with the amount of credit you have. But as long as you pay all of your bills, it's ok. Constantly maxing out your credit card is not something you want to do, however.
Yeah. It's why I didn't tell you, because I just thought it wasn't a major issue. I'll let you know next time, but I'm hoping that there won't be a next time.
Perhaps I can put those back on the shelf. I need to watch my spending a little more.LH: 东西都买全了吗？奶酪、面包、葡萄酒、水果.....
LL: And this box of chocolate! Now we're ready. Let's go to the checkout.
LH: 我们今天用现金还是刷信用卡？
LL: Let's go ahead and use cash. I actually maxed out my credit card the last time I used it.
LH: Maxed out? 是什么意思？
LL: It means I used up all the available credit on the card. I reached the maximum amount last month. So, in American slang, we just say “max out.”
LH: 怎么可能。你卡上的信用额度不是很高吗？怎么会max out用光了呢？
LL: I maxed out the card because I booked our vacation to Hawaii last month. Don't worry. I intend to pay it off over the next few months.
LH: 难怪。原来去夏威夷渡假的开销你全都放在了信用卡上。那max out还能用在其他地方吗？
LL: Well, you can use it when you have reached or exceeded the maximum quantity of something that you are capable of. Some other things I can think of are vacation time and allowed overtime hours.
LH: 我明白了。公司一般对年假和加班都有限制，所以要说假用光了，就可以说max out.
LL: Exactly. So regarding our trip to Hawaii. I managed to max out my credit card and my vacation time. Haha! It better be worth it!
LH: Larry, 我还听说如果把信用卡上的额度全都用光的话，对你的信用记录不好，是这样吗？
LL: Oh, it's true. You have to be very careful with the amount of credit you have. But as long as you pay all of your bills, it's ok. Constantly maxing out your credit card is not something you want to do, however.
LH: 你上个月把卡刷爆。这完全可以理解，一趟夏威夷，又是机票、又是渡假村，还要租车，一定很多钱。
LL: Yeah. It's why I didn't tell you, because I just thought it wasn't a major issue. I'll let you know next time, but I'm hoping that there won't be a next time.
LH: OK. 我们去交钱吧！这巧克力还买吗？
LL: Perhaps I can put those back on the shelf. I need to watch my spending a little more. |
