下载音频Larry和李华刚刚看完电影。李华在问Larry她没看懂的地方。今天李华会学到两个常用语:copycat和wacky。 LL: A copycat is someone who imitates someone else. The murderer in the movie imitated other famous murderers, so he was copycat killer. LL: Sure. For instance, my younger sister used to imitate me a lot when she was a kid. She would repeat whatever I said, so I caller her my little copycat. LH: 你叫你小妹妹little copycat。你妹妹一定很可爱。她一定很崇拜你,所以才模仿你的一举一动,重复你说的话! LL: Yeah, it was kind of cute, but it got annoying after a while. LL: Kids are great copycats and they always manage to copy things that they shouldn’t. If I said a bad word, my sister always repeated. My mother thought I was teaching her bad words on purpose. LL: That’s right. It got me into a lot of trouble. Hey, I also remember that when I was a kid, it was common for kids to accuse each other of being a copycat. LH: 没错,小孩子最喜欢说别人学自己,好象自己很聪敏,别人就只会模仿。 LL: You’re right. To call someone a copycat means that the other person isn’t original and was just imitating what someone else was doing. LH: Larry,你说的这句话不是跟我刚才说的意思一样吗? You’re a copycat! LL: Wacky means crazy or silly. Kids tend to do wacky things. For instance, when I was a kid, I tried to play Tarzan with our living room curtains. LH: Wacky就是指疯疯颠颠或犯傻。对,小孩子往往会做一些傻事。不过,像你小时候想学泰山而把窗帘当树枝爬上去,这也太危险了。 LH: 我想也是,你肯定是看了泰山这电影后才那么wacky的。 不过说到wacky,我小时候也不见得比你差,也做了不少wacky的事呢! LH: 嗨,说到我的猫小雪球,它做的wacky 事那才多呢!昨天我在看电视上一个介绍大自然的节目,小雪球看
