  今天Michael和李华要开车去新泽西州看一个朋友,跟他一起过周末。新泽西州紧挨着纽约,开车只要一个小时就到了。请注意他们俩人讲话当中用的两个词: shot 和 damage。现在他们正准备上车。
6 ~( |6 @) W( N  M: Hey, Li Hua, are you ready to go?
1 D3 k: a  E. |0 D& j+ Y  L:行,我准备好了,可以走了。
$ G* V. s. I" E. _4 X( B: Z6 B; `: @8 a  M: Ok, let's go!
6 H0 I4 g2 I3 q/ @- Q  L:哟,怎么啦?
) \! \2 y8 V5 T& \: ?  M: I think my engine is shot. This is not good.
) q6 U* p! C0 P) \, q* U  L:什么?有人开枪把你车打坏啦?
9 i+ J/ O0 \# H# |) N) L' ~  M: No! You're right, shot does mean to have used a gun, but here shot means something is broken.- P3 b0 P* E% e2 I
  L:对啊,shot是指开枪,原来这儿的意思不同,这儿是指什么东西坏了。那我的电脑坏了,也能用shot这个字啊?5 N) \$ {' t+ L; g5 O
  M: Sure. My computer is shot. You can say almost anything is shot.  {1 H$ ^2 t" o
  L:什么东西坏了都能这样说?
2 _; u5 N4 M# L7 |' x# e  M: Yes, if you hurt your knee, you can say: My knee is shot, or if you hurt your shoulder, you can say: My shoulder is shot.* ~9 Z0 o- }4 W0 O2 Z8 P1 W
  L:噢,要是你的膝盖受伤了,你就可以说:My knee is shot;要是你的肩膀受了伤,那你就说:My shoulder is shot.; q4 s% F  @1 m' i& O
  M: Let's go rent a car. I don't want our whole day to be shot.' [7 x% X# {5 N) {5 `
  L:对,还是去租一辆车吧。噢,毁了一整天也能这样说呀!
* S# {1 O3 [# w5 n4 e* w  M: Yep. Let's go!8 I1 A% \; v# F; {' s
  (Michael和李华租了一辆车,现在他们在开往新泽西的路上)
1 c/ ?; e) t$ q$ |$ N3 Z' h  D  L:Michael,这辆车真不错,挺稳的。再开半小时就到了,太好了!
  `1 B8 I8 @% r! @; \6 N0 i  M: Yeah, I'm glad too, but the damage for renting the car is pretty bad.4 E$ U; N8 B5 X  ~
  L:什么?这辆租的车也坏了?哟,那怎么办呐!: E8 k5 d* w2 x' P
  M: No, the rental car is not damaged! The word damage does mean that, but damage here means the amount of money needed to pay for something.: E7 {# B+ O3 r" e; R( {2 D
  L:租的车没有坏,真把我吓一跳。原来又是我的英文有问题。Damage 这个字很普通,大家都知道是指什么东西坏了。可你指的是为什么东西付的钱。' Y  W$ G" L$ Q$ Z6 |/ s
  M: Yes, renting the car is expensive, so the damage is bad. We usually say the damage is bad or not bad.# T" Y1 o' ]3 q' n4 j7 a
  L:我知道了,价钱贵就是:the damage is bad。价钱不高,那就是:the damage is not bad. 再给我举个例子吧。' o. E/ v5 b4 L, u2 C/ _
  M: When you pay for dinner at a restaurant, you can ask: What's the damage?
; R' ~- l( s) `5 x# K4 [  L:噢,在饭店里吃完晚饭要付钱的时候可以问:“What's the damage?”所以租车很贵,the damage is bad. Michael,别担心,我可以帮你付一点。
9 F3 ?) t: Q! k6 C1 l! f6 R' _, O  M: You don't have to, Li Hua. I know the damage for your new computer was pretty bad.
. K1 k: Z" A2 v- [5 {1 Z, f  L:你真好心,知道我买新电脑花了不少钱,所以不要我帮你付。Michael,没关系,我能付一点,你还要去修车,也很贵的。
0 G; q& D* I  v/ K" R$ e4 U  h  M: Thanks, Li Hua. But I hope the damage for fixing my car won't be too bad.
% D! f8 m5 q5 S9 u  G/ n  L:我也希望你修车不至于太贵。得了,别说钱了,赶快开吧。
& @. o- g( g& o& D  M: OK, I'll drive fast so that the rest of our day won't be shot.
- c& c; `" |% F) |) y  L:对了,别浪费时间了,我也不想把一天的时间全浪费了。
  B" B( e  ]! a3 f9 |8 V1 e  今天Michael 教了李华两个年轻人常用的词,一个是shot。Shot 是指什么东西坏了,或者人体的某个部位受伤了;另外一个词 是damage。这里的damage不是指损坏,而是指为某样东西,或某个交易付的钱。
