  你们大家可能都已经认识了Michael和李华这两个大学生了。Michael讲英文,李华是个中国学生,能讲英文,但是她还在不断地跟Michael学。大家可千万不要认为这两个在纽约的大学生老是到外面去玩。其实他们学习都很努力,现在他们就要在李华的宿舍里一起念书,准备考试。李华今天会学到两个常用语,一个是:what's up,这是一个用来打招呼的通俗说法。另一个是:no brainer,意思是某件事很容易,不用动脑子就能做成。
- R) l$ ~# ?. G: Q. z' J* V5 B8 |. F  L:嗨,Michael,快进来。& E9 T6 t; e+ y& F# S6 x
  M: Hey, Li Hua, what's up?
( w; a" i" F' X) ^- o- F  L:什么?; [. I& Q0 B# b! D9 p0 g; k! j
  M: What's up? What are you doing?
/ ^; }9 w0 a  {! @5 [+ x8 N# P" G  L:What's up? 我倒是听人这么说过,可是我还没有弄清楚这句话到底是什么意思,我应该怎么回答?
$ P( k0 y' u6 ^; x/ h7 Y8 X  M: What's up is really a common greeting.
9 b2 u9 _& }6 d6 H' t! J  L:噢,what's up就是一般打招呼,不是指我的头上是什么呐?. B4 T* U. K% t4 f- o
  M: No. It's like saying, "What is happening in your life?"& C0 k6 s2 x9 q' S# C# t
  L:我知道了,what's up就是中文里我们说的:怎么样?3 p2 A: V$ w: }5 p  O
  M: Well, it's really only spoken language.+ Q' u! l& O7 e4 m6 C0 j
  L:要是我去看一个我已经有两个月没见的朋友,我在见到她的时候我可以说What's up,对吗?8 [0 \. J/ _6 @+ q& [5 R+ m
  M: Yes, definitely!
% R3 v0 T  {8 _' _- W  E9 m  L:那别人对我说what's up?我又该怎么回答呢?
* U% M$ ^9 N% h9 }  M: You can explain what's going on in your life, or you could say something as simple as: Not much.
6 p5 I& j" @" T& O! E1 o* S  L:要是你问我,What's up? 我就可以说:Oh,not much, just getting ready for our test. 意思就是:噢,没什么,就是在准备我们的考试。
. t' C8 Z$ c3 C+ x! m  r  M: That's good usage. You can really say anything.
4 ~4 m6 ^/ \% T6 p3 {  L:对,你怎么回答都行。好吧,我们该学习了。我真是希望这次考试赶快过去。, I8 H/ g$ {4 ?; \6 C
  M: You stress too much, this test will be a no brainer.
+ @& U3 M5 N7 h$ j  L:你是说我压力太大,没有脑子?你知道我脑子很灵的呀!
. ?2 F# d9 I5 W  M: Smarter than me, that's for sure. What I mean is that this test will be really easy. No brainer means something that reqires little or no thought.
/ @  V5 N/ d& M" m! U! \' M* x  L:好,你承认我比你聪明。不过,我还得跟你学英文。你说,no brainer就是某件事很容易,不需要动脑子就行呀?
* o3 E; c6 }& J% P, _8 l  M: Yeah.. {6 n+ b; c& E
  L:我知道了。象我哥哥那天去买车,运气好,碰到一个公司半价出售。在这种情况下决定买不买,不就是no brainer吗?% Q% w( [+ ?+ i  L% K
  M: That's right.
' `: ^, }( s- E2 e  L:那次那个漂亮女孩邀你出去玩,你接受不接受邀请不也是很容易定的吗?2 Z% y/ G3 a7 ]- W
  M: Yeah, that was a really easy decision, could be called no brainer. Of course I would go out with her.
" F/ M4 E$ e. N. z/ m  L:对,决定是容易做,但是你到头来还是不喜欢她。9 K2 ~& x& p& F8 U! b" W
  M: That's true. When the University gave you a scholarship to come study here in New York, it was a no brainer for you too.
$ ?8 I5 ~& u; W1 @  L:当然啦,大学给我奖学金来纽约念书,作这种决定还要动脑筋啊?更何况我学习成绩那么好。
( z; {+ G8 ~+ T7 T: ?, l+ `  M: So then why are you bothering to study?2 w+ b2 G: v1 h( P, o
  L:这还用问?再聪明的人也得念书嘛!. @+ I% w) W3 A! d6 E4 h
  M: On, ok, let's get back to work.
