流行美語:wiped out; cutie-pie

2021-02-26 大耳朵學英語

李華的教授剛添了個女兒。李華和Larry準備去拜訪這位教授，向他們表示祝賀。今天李華會學到兩個常用語：wiped out和cutie-pie。 

LH: 嘿！Larry，我想去看瓊斯教授和他太太。他們的女兒Sarah現在也應該有幾個星期大了！ 

LL: Aren't you worried they are too wiped out to have company? 

LH: Wiped out？你說瓊斯教授他們怎麼樣了？ 

LL: Too wiped out means they must be really tired. I am sure they haven't gotten much sleep with a new baby in the house. 

LH: 噢，Wiped-out就是很疲乏的意思。添了小寶寶他們倆可能都睡不好。不過我想，我們早一點去拜訪他們，坐一會兒就走，應該沒問題吧。我聽說baby Sarah真的很可愛呢！ 

LL: OK, That sounds good, but we should call before we go. You know, I am amazed Professor Jones is still teaching classes considering how wiped out he must be. 

LH: 就是啊，雖然很累，瓊斯教授還來上課呢！真是讓人佩服！我啊，只要想到去上課都會累，更何況我還沒有小寶寶呢。 

LL: You're right! Just going to work every day wipes me out. I can't imagine what it must be like to have to get up so many times in the middle of the night to feed the baby and change diapers. 

LH: 沒錯，半夜裡要起來好幾次餵奶，換尿布，真是難以想像。我可受不了。 

LL：Wait until you have your own baby, you wouldn't mind to be wiped out. 

LH：我想是這樣，有了自己的孩子再累也不在乎。 好吧，那我們就給瓊斯教授打個電話，看他們什麼時候方便讓我們過去，順便看看小寶寶。 

LL: And before we go we probably should stop somewhere and get a card and present for the baby. You aren't too wiped out to do a little shopping first, are you? 

LH: 說到逛街買禮物，我才不會覺得累呢！特別是買那些可愛的小寶寶衣服。我再累也願意去！ 

LL: I should have known! 

LH: 好，那我現在給瓊斯教授打電話！ 

****** 

LH: Larry，你覺得baby Sarah是不是真的好可愛？ 

LL: She was indeed. She was a real cutie-pie! 

LH: A cutie-WHAT? 你怎麼說她是個派？Pie那不是一種點心嗎？ 

LL: Well, a "cutie-pie" isn't actually a pie like the desert, but means someone who is very cute. 

LH: 原來如此，cutie-pie不是指點心，而是指人長的很可愛。小寶寶Sarah眼睛大大的，再加上圓圓的臉蛋，真可愛！She is certainly a cutie-pie! 

LL: And little Sarah certainly takes after her mother. Professor Jones's wife is a cutie-pie, too! 

LH: 哎，Larry，瓊斯教授的太太可是已婚婦女噢！就算你覺得她長的可愛，恐怕也沒機會了。我勸你啊，還是多注意身邊是不是還有其他可愛的女孩吧！ 

LL: Do you have any one in mind? 

LH: 說起來，我還真有幾個長的很可愛的女朋友，或許可以給你介紹一個，讓你們出去吃個飯或看電影什麼的。 

LL: Well, you would be a real sweetie-pie if you would give one of them a call and say nice things about me. 

LH: 哎。等等，我以為你剛才教我的是cutie-pie, 怎麼你現在又說我是個sweetie-pie? 

LL: Sweetie-pie just means you are a very nice person. "Cutie-pie" and "sweetie-pie" are both often used to describe young children. 

LH: Sweetie-pie和cutie-pie往往是形容小孩。那我是不是可以叫你"oldy-pie"？因為你可不年輕了。 

LL: Sorry, Li Hua, it is just "sweetie-pie" or "cutie-pie." That's it. 

LH: 我知道，跟你開個玩笑而已，而且你也不老。Larry，你這麼熱心教我英語，真是個sweetie-pie。 

今天李華學到兩個常用語。一個是wiped out，是形容一個人很疲乏。另一個常用語是cutie-pie，是形容一個人長的很可愛。Sweetie-pie則是指一個人心地善良，熱心助人。
