李华和Larry在看大学美式足球赛。今天李华会学到两个常用语:hardcore和to take it out on someone.


(Football crowd noise)


LH: 噢!今天真够冷的。Larry,你看看那边那几个家伙,这么冷的天,还打赤膊,身上涂满了漆。你说,他们这不是疯了吗?


LL: (Yelling) Come on, go, go, go! First down! Yeah! What's that Li Hua? No, those guys aren't crazy. They're hardcore football fans. They want to show how devoted 1 they are to their team.


LH: 你说他们是什么? Hardcore?


LL: I said that they're hardcore fans. Hardcore means that they are very serious, and uncompromising. They are extremely devoted fans.


LH: 噢!我懂了,hardcore就是指非常认真,非常投入的球迷。Larry, 这个hardcore是不是只能用来形容球迷呢?


LL: No, hardcore can refer to people who are really devoted to a sport, hobby, or belief of some kind.


LH: 噢,hardcore 还可以指那些对某种运动、嗜好或信仰狂热的人!


LL: For instance, my cousin John is a hardcore mountain climber. He's going to go to Alaska in the middle of winter just to climb a mountain for fun!


LH:你表哥John要在这么冷的冬天去阿拉斯加爬山?真是个狂热的登山迷!


LL: Yeah, And you know Lisa, she's a hardcore shopper. The day after Christmas, she waited in front of a department store at 5:00 o'clock in the morning in order to buy some good stuff on sale.


LH: 对,我听说了,Lisa圣诞节第二天早上五点就去排队买减价商品。我说了下回跟她一起去买东西。


LL:I'm sure Lisa will turn you into a hardcore shopper too.


******


(Crowd cheering)


LH: 好啦!Larry, 我们的校队已经落后20分,比赛只剩下10分钟。看样子是没希望了。我们可不可以回去啦?


LL: (Angry) Fine! Let's go.


LH: 嘿!别生气嘛!你如果还想看,我们可以留下来啊!


LL: Sorry Li Hua. I shouldn't take it out on you because I am disappointed about the football game. You're right, we should leave early.


LH: 你说你不该怎么啦!Take it out on me?你是要从我这儿拿走什么吗?我听不懂耶!


LL: No, that's not what I mean. To take it out on someone means to vent 2 one's anger or frustrations 3 on someone who is innocent.


LH: 噢!to take it out on someone, 就是把怒气发泄在别人身上。就像我们中文里说的在别人身上“出气”嘛。球队输了你心里不高兴就想对我发脾气。哎,没关系,你再给我举个例子当作陪礼就行了!


LL: Hmm, well sometimes when someone has a bad day at work, they might take it out on their kids by yelling at them.


LH: 这是常见的。有的人办公室里碰到不高兴的事,回家就对孩子嚷嚷。我很幸运。我爸爸从来不把工作上的怨气发在我们头上。


LL: My father never took it out on us either. But my brother would always take it out on me whenever he was angry about something.


LH: 嗯,哥哥的欺负弟弟妹妹也不少见。Larry,告诉你,我心里不高兴的时候,也会对学生发脾气。


LL: Really? You're so mean! How did you take it out on them?


LH: 怎么在学生身上出气呀?那还不容易! 给学生来个突击测验。


LL: Well, it's kind of unfair to take it out on your students, but I guess a little quiz can't hurt them. It can only make them study harder.


LH: 好了,我们还是赶快走吧。待会儿球输了,这些球迷还不知要怎么发泄他们的怒气呢!


LL: (Chuckles) Oh, take it easy, Li Hua. They won't take it out on you.
