今天Larry和Li Hua下课以后一起去吃午饭,Li Hua会学到两个常用语:threads和load up。
(campus noise)
Larry: Hey, Li Hua, those are nice threads you re wearing.
Li Hua: Threads? - 那不是“缝衣服用的线”吗?哎哟,Larry, 你是说我的连衣裙开线了吗?
Larry:No, no. Threads, when used in plural, is another word for clothes. I was just telling you that you are wearing nice clothes.
Li Hua:噢,原来thread用作复数——threads,就可以代表“衣服”。这倒挺合理的,因为衣服就是用线织成的嘛!你刚才说these are nice threads, 原来是夸我的连衣裙漂亮啊!
Larry:That s right!
