一、邊聽邊學Listen and Learn
tear to pieces 撕碎，痛斥
throw someone a bone 給人表面上的小恩小惠
shoot down 擊落，否認，辯駁
get on my nerves 讓我心煩
beat 筋疲力盡的，疲憊不堪的
call it a day 收工

二、邊聽邊說Listen and Speak
A: Well, then what? Every suggestion Imake, you tear to pieces. At least throw me a bone here! It’s not helpful for you to just shoot down my ideas!
怎么？我提出的每一個建議你都不接受，至少留些口德吧！你否認我的想法對你自己一點好處也沒有！
B: Well, I don’t know what to get him either.What do you buy for the man who has everything?
好吧，但是我也不知道要給他送什么。你給這個擁有一切的人買什么？
A: Oh, you’re a great help! Your optimismis beginning to get on my nerves. I’m beat. Maybe we should just call it a day.
唉，你幫倒忙了！你的樂觀開始讓我神經緊張心煩意亂。我覺得非常地疲憊！也許我們今天該到此為止了。
