這是個(gè)星期六早上，李華打電話給Larry，叫他一起去海邊玩。李華今天會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。一個(gè)是，count someone in另一個(gè)是，wipeout。

(Li Hua打電話給Larry。電話鈴聲)

LL: (Tired) Hello。

LH: Larry， 該醒啦！看看外面的天氣有多好呀！我和Jenny要去海邊。你要一起去的話，趕快起來(lái)準(zhǔn)備好。

LL: Hmmà hey! You're right, the sky is beautiful. So you're going to Rockaway beach? Count me in!

LH: 你說(shuō)什么？要我數(shù)什么呀？你要我們等很久可不行！

LL: No, no. I said count me in. That means I want to go too, I want to do this activity.

LH: 噢，count me in就是：也算我一個(gè)，也就是說(shuō)你要一起去。行，我和Jenny 一起出去買(mǎi)點(diǎn)吃的，那，我們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: 你餓了，要跟我們一起吃午飯？我早該知道你會(huì)這么說(shuō)。只要有吃的，你總是要參加的。

LL: Absolutely! I haven't had a good hamburger for weeks, so you can definitely count me in!

LH: 怎么說(shuō)得這么可憐！幾個(gè)星期沒(méi)吃一個(gè)像樣的漢堡。好吧，那，你快起來(lái)準(zhǔn)備，我們過(guò)十五分鐘來(lái)接你。對(duì)了，Jenny還要去滑旱冰，你是不是也要參加？

LL: Count me in on the rollerblading also.

LH: 這你也要玩！ 我真有點(diǎn)害怕，特別是幾個(gè)星期前我把自行車(chē)撞壞了以后 ...

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: 對(duì)，我一般是喜歡嘗試新東西的。凡是有新鮮的，好玩的事，我都去。這回是因?yàn)樽孕熊?chē)出了事，所以有點(diǎn)特殊。不過(guò)，我如果帶安全用具，應(yīng)該沒(méi)事。那，你就算我一個(gè)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: 喲，我還從來(lái)沒(méi)有看人沖浪呢！你看這些人吶！那人從他那沖浪板上掉下去了。他沒(méi)事吧？

LL: He just wiped out. It happens all the time.

LH: Wiped out? 那是什么意思呀？他這就被沖掉啦?

LL: No, no. Wiped out.If you fall down, fall off of something, or crash, this is a wipe out.

LH: 原來(lái)wiped out就是掉下來(lái)，或撞壞了。我剛才真是嚇了一跳，我還以為他被沖走了呢！ 對(duì)了，我想掉在水里不會(huì)像摔在地面上那么痛吧！

LL: Remember when you wiped out on your bicycle last month?

LH: 你怎么又提我從自行車(chē)上摔下來(lái)的事呢！你看，我手臂上的疤還在呢！真痛呀！對(duì)了，你頭邊上的疤是哪兒來(lái)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: 你小時(shí)候從滑板上摔下好幾個(gè)臺(tái)階？ 你沒(méi)有嚴(yán)重受傷，真算你運(yùn)氣。你該帶防護(hù)帽。我從自行車(chē)上摔下來(lái)的時(shí)候要是沒(méi)帶防護(hù)帽，那我就慘了， 很可能會(huì)嚴(yán)重受傷。

LL: Hey, that reminds me: what about your friend who wiped out while skiing earlier this year? Is he doing OK?

LH: 你在說(shuō)誰(shuí)呀？噢，就是今年年初滑雪的時(shí)候摔跤的Steve! 他現(xiàn)在很好，幾個(gè)星期前把他腿上的石膏取下來(lái)了。 Larry，那邊是Jenny嗎？

LL: Hey, there's Jenny over there. Let's get our gear on and join her.

LH: Larry，我還是有點(diǎn)害怕。我不想摔倒了受傷。

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，可是千萬(wàn)別太快了。那樣即便摔倒也不會(huì)受傷。走吧！

LL: I knew we could count you in!

今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。一個(gè)是count someone in，意思是把某人包括在某個(gè)活動(dòng)中。李華學(xué)到的另一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)是wipeout，意思是摔倒。
