   Jessica在北京学中文,她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词,就会来请教她。今天是怡茹要问的:开夜车。


  Jessica:怡茹, why do you look so tired?
  YR: 这几天又复习又考试,累得我眼睛都快睁不开啦! 昨天晚上,我复习了一个通宵啊! I drove a night car!
  Jessica: You drove a night car?
  YR: 对啊! 我开了一宿夜车! 难道不是这么说的?
  Jessica: 哈哈,you should use the phrase "pull an all-nighter." It means you spent the whole night studying or working to meet a deadline.
  YR: 哦,整宿学习工作不睡觉,就是 pull an all-nighter. 唉! 都怪我平时没好好复习,期末考试前只能临时抱佛脚!
  Jessica: You're not alone, Yiru! A lot of college students pull all-nighters for exams. You can also use the phrase "cram 1 session." It means an intense period of study before a critical exam.
  YR: C-r-a-m, cram, 是仓促备考的意思,所以 a cram session 就是考前的突击复习。正说呢,My study group will have a cram session this afternoon for tomorrow's exam. Hopefully we can get everything done before midnight so that I don't have to pull an all-nighter again!
  Jessica: Take it easy, Yiru. Isn't your exam tomorrow an open-book test?
  YR: Open-book test? 哦,你是说开卷考试吧?没错,这门是开卷,可老师对开卷考试的答案要求更高。我可不想考砸了!
  Jessica: You won't bomb it. You're a smart girl!
  YR: 你说“bomb"--那不是轰炸的意思么?我猜这就是说没考好,对么?
  Jessica: Exactly.
  YR: 那要是不及格,挂科了,怎么说呢?
  Jessica: Then you can use the verb "flunk 2", f-l-u-n-k, flunk. It means you fail to pass an exam.
  YR: I don't want to flunk my exam, so---I gotta go!
  Jessica: Before you go, tell me what you've learned today!
  YR: 第一,开夜车,通宵学习工作,叫 pull an all-nighter; 考试前的突击复习叫 cram session;
  第二,开卷考试是 open-book test;
  第三,考试考砸了用动词 bomb, 不及格则用 flunk!

1 cram
v.填塞,塞满,临时抱佛脚,为考试而学习
  • There was such a cram in the church.教堂里拥挤得要命。
  • The room's full,we can't cram any more people in.屋里满满的,再也挤不进去人了。
2 flunk
v.(考试)不及格(=fail)
  • I will flunk him if my student doesn't learn the material in the course.如果我的学生没有掌握课程的内容,我就会让他不及格。
  • If you flunk finals,you don't get the chance to do them again.如果你没通过期末考试,就没有机会再考一次了。
