这是个星期六早上，李华打电话给Larry，叫他一起去海边玩。李华今天会学到两个常用语。一个是，count someone in另一个是，wipeout。
(Li Hua打电话给Larry。电话铃声)
LL: (Tired) Hello。
LH: Larry， 该醒啦！看看外面的天气有多好呀！我和Jenny要去海边。你要一起去的话，赶快起来准备好。
LL: Hmmà hey! You're right, the sky is beautiful. So you're going to Rockaway beach? Count me in!
LH: 你说什么？要我数什么呀？你要我们等很久可不行！
LL: No, no. I said count me in. That means 1 I want to go too, I want to do this activity.
LH: 噢，count me in就是：也算我一个，也就是说你要一起去。行，我和Jenny 一起出去买点吃的，那，我们11:30到你那里...
LL: Wait， you're getting lunch before we go? Count me in on that too. I'm hungry!
LH: 你饿了，要跟我们一起吃午饭？我早该知道你会这么说。只要有吃的，你总是要参加的。
LL: Absolutely 2! I haven't had a good hamburger for weeks, so you can definitely 3 count me in!
LH: 怎么说得这么可怜！几个星期没吃一个像样的汉堡。好吧，那，你快起来准备，我们过十五分钟来接你。对了，Jenny还要去滑旱冰，你是不是也要参加？
LL: Count me in on the rollerblading also.
LH: 这你也要玩！ 我真有点害怕，特别是几个星期前我把自行车撞坏了以后 ...
LL: Really? I'm surprised. You usually like to try new things. When we plan new, fun things we can usually count you in.
LH: 对，我一般是喜欢尝试新东西的。凡是有新鲜的，好玩的事，我都去。这回是因为自行车出了事，所以有点特殊。不过，我如果带安全用具，应该没事。那，你就算我一个吧！
LL: That's what I thought! Anyway, count me in for the hamburgers. I'll be downstairs in fifteen minutes!

(Li Hua and Larry are on the beach.)
LH: 哟，我还从来没有看人冲浪呢！你看这些人呐！那人从他那冲浪板上掉下去了。他没事吧？
LL: He just wiped out. It happens all the time.
LH: Wiped out? 那是什么意思呀？他这就被冲掉啦?
LL: No, no. Wiped out.If you fall down, fall off of something, or crash 4, this is a wipe out.
LH: 原来wiped out就是掉下来，或撞坏了。我刚才真是吓了一跳，我还以为他被冲走了呢！ 对了，我想掉在水里不会像摔在地面上那么痛吧！
LL: Remember when you wiped out on your bicycle last month?
LH: 你怎么又提我从自行车上摔下来的事呢！你看，我手臂上的疤还在呢！真痛呀！对了，你头边上的疤是哪儿来的？
LL: That? I wiped out on my skateboard when I was a kid and fell down some steps. I was lucky I wasn't seriously hurt.
LH: 你小时候从滑板上摔下好几个台阶？ 你没有严重受伤，真算你运气。你该带防护帽。我从自行车上摔下来的时候要是没带防护帽，那我就惨了， 很可能会严重受伤。
LL: Hey, that reminds 5 me: what about your friend who wiped out while skiing 6 earlier this year? Is he doing OK?
LH: 你在说谁呀？噢，就是今年年初滑雪的时候摔跤的Steve! 他现在很好，几个星期前把他腿上的石膏取下来了。 Larry，那边是Jenny吗？
LL: Hey, there's Jenny over there. Let's get our gear 7 on and join her.
LH: Larry，我还是有点害怕。我不想摔倒了受伤。
LL: Don't worry, Li Hua! We'll go slowly. Even if you do wipe out, you'll be OK.
LH: 那好吧，我跟你一起去，可是千万别太快了。那样即便摔倒也不会受伤。走吧！
LL: I knew we could count you in!
