美国年轻人的口头禅-15
在纽约上大学的Michael和李华今天在华盛顿参观名胜古迹。他们在对话里会用到两个常用语:ticked off ,另一个是close

L: Michael,
大家都说纽约人开车不守规矩,我看华盛顿的人也好不了多少。刚才那辆车差一点撞到我!
M: Yeah, I saw that. Crossing the streets in New York and Washington is dangerous. But getting ticked off about it won't do you any good.
L:
对,在纽约和华盛顿穿马路是很危险。你说什么对我没好处? Ticked off?
M: Yes, Ticked off means to get angry or annoyed at something. Getting angry at the drivers will not do you any good.
L:
噢,ticked off的意思是为什么事情生气。 你刚才说的是我对开车的人生气没有什么好处。看来让我ticked off的事还挺多。
M: Yeah, like when your boyfriend broke up with you right before we started classes.
L:
你还提醒我这事!我以前那男朋友刚开学就跟我分手,当时我真的非常生气。不过,Michael,我觉得你也很爱生气。
M: Well, I got pretty ticked off a few days ago when the professor gave me a low score on the exam.
L:
对,和你同班的中国同学王光告诉我你那天非常生气,因为那个教授给你的考试判分判得很低。Ticked off这个说法很好,以前我就知道用angry这个字。
M: Hey, are you hungry? We haven't eaten in a while.
L:
刚才好生气,连肚子饿也忘了。走,去吃点东西吧!
