  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。& G) T7 e* I7 m* l
  M: Hey, Li Hua, are you ready to go?
  O) ~  z$ l$ _4 C  L:行,我准备好了,可以走了。
* n: A! {+ q; P  q/ x6 V  M: Ok, let's go!
$ y; d( U( N. y4 f6 W6 D  L:哟,怎么啦?; T1 [$ A$ l; W) g3 A: U$ ~" Y
  M: I think my engine is shot. This is not good., \" _0 A& g( g# j
  L:什么?有人开枪把你车打坏啦?
; f' v7 c2 Q2 J- g/ L6 s  M: No! You're right, shot does mean to have used a gun, but here shot means something is broken.0 ]7 O' v) Z" ^2 Y
  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?
2 o* w) y8 l3 M% l  M: Sure. My computer is shot. You can say almost anything is shot.4 H% v6 `# j5 p6 y
  L:什么东西坏了都能这样说?
" M# X" c: w: Y( E( V9 h2 N/ c+ U3 P  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.
6 L& M+ X9 E. U, C- I* n! G4 B  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.
# J  v0 r/ L. K8 K! ~. y/ l  M: Let's go rent a car. I don't want our whole day to be shot.  j2 T" l+ F( Y
  L:对,还是去租一辆车吧。噢,毁了一整天也能这样说呀!
6 J8 K, a4 [/ l  K% R0 _6 X  M: Yep. Let's go!2 d. b# v! E8 I1 ^$ h
  (Michael和李华租了一辆车,现在他们在开往新泽西的路上)% d" f, d* k; N
  L:Michael,这辆车真不错,挺稳的。再开半小时就到了,太好了!
' V" U/ d6 \. g& S1 a& a  M: Yeah, I'm glad too, but the damage for renting the car is pretty bad.$ I& t% y* j9 A/ F
  L:什么?这辆租的车也坏了?哟,那怎么办呐!0 s: c/ d. r, K5 d! z% c2 I& k
  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.
; g4 K" ~' {# m7 ?  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。
2 g3 N: o  c/ S- d: `  M: Yes, renting the car is expensive, so the damage is bad. We usually say the damage is bad or not bad.
3 _# A! S, f- n2 ?% |! a8 z  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。
! i6 c) h( B0 I' h( `  M: When you pay for dinner at a restaurant, you can ask: What's the damage?+ {+ D- N: H/ G1 O$ i% k  N* M$ }
  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。
( v% j0 l' H: ^  k' m  M: You don't have to, Li Hua. I know the damage for your new computer was pretty bad.
+ L9 I. E1 b( D1 Z0 t  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。1 _+ w) ]) N: W/ s3 L7 F
  M: Thanks, Li Hua. But I hope the damage for fixing my car won't be too bad.
( c' s! v/ y2 M% B: B$ C  L:我也希望你修车不至于太贵。得了,别说钱了,赶快开吧。4 Q# r8 y; U' S3 G2 B( J* l
  M: OK, I'll drive fast so that the rest of our day won't be shot.
1 H* x2 h3 r) _$ O* n0 q* ~  L:对了,别浪费时间了,我也不想把一天的时间全浪费了。
$ V+ }* H* g- u: Q5 C  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。
