  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。: q, v( Q. F5 h/ F! W( p% M. r
  M: Hey, Li Hua, are you ready to go?
; S; Q7 \+ h& J  J( B1 G) R  L:行,我准备好了,可以走了。

  M: I think my engine is shot. This is not good.
$ c  u$ Z) e6 M2 I: L  L:什么?有人开枪把你车打坏啦?3 [8 _& v4 e- o4 \& E
  M: No! You're right, shot does mean to have used a gun, but here shot means something is broken.: C1 ]* O) O/ g; ~
  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?0 i' T4 a0 n/ K3 r7 Q! k
  M: Sure. My computer is shot. You can say almost anything is shot.
# Z) s9 c) V  B! s: V) A1 @5 `( q  L:什么东西坏了都能这样说?! W2 e7 ~- y4 h8 o1 ?* }( J7 o1 h: s
  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.
% J0 u' L8 m3 c7 l2 N  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.0 P3 k+ ^' g: S& U9 {" R
  M: Let's go rent a car. I don't want our whole day to be shot.. _+ F. s5 d; ]8 O; U
  L:对,还是去租一辆车吧。噢,毁了一整天也能这样说呀!

  (Michael和李华租了一辆车,现在他们在开往新泽西的路上)' x4 b" m1 l6 K9 |' Y
  L:Michael,这辆车真不错,挺稳的。再开半小时就到了,太好了!$ H- l1 {1 o3 y) e! t- N8 m
  M: Yeah, I'm glad too, but the damage for renting the car is pretty bad.
& y- p9 n1 l! E+ u- v8 a+ c  L:什么?这辆租的车也坏了?哟,那怎么办呐!
9 }. }, z3 y9 |, c# a  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.  a. V" H8 E' s: D: A1 B5 _6 f$ A% i
  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。
) N# @& e! F& T3 G3 f  D+ z  M: Yes, renting the car is expensive, so the damage is bad. We usually say the damage is bad or not bad.. E% }7 N) F, u5 r% z& @8 g% u2 f
  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。
2 e. P/ K8 g$ q1 h% x# J% @. ?" d  M: When you pay for dinner at a restaurant, you can ask: What's the damage?
8 _! N- w( \% r  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。- B# g) e( h5 V6 i2 [1 b
  M: You don't have to, Li Hua. I know the damage for your new computer was pretty bad.; R& i! i5 O5 s& y0 v/ 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。% r' U: o2 u2 k$ a% N8 D/ ~
  M: Thanks, Li Hua. But I hope the damage for fixing my car won't be too bad.! w1 `" [) g+ Q" C
  L:我也希望你修车不至于太贵。得了,别说钱了,赶快开吧。
( b# z7 b% A: c3 b' ]  U( F9 H9 Y: Z  M: OK, I'll drive fast so that the rest of our day won't be shot.
, q/ y5 [! N, }% B9 E  L:对了,别浪费时间了,我也不想把一天的时间全浪费了。6 g- O9 V( m0 `% o4 ~
  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。
