A:我是楊琳!Donny, 今天你來介紹咱們的節(jié)目?jī)?nèi)容吧!
B:With pleasure! 今天,咱們要去健身房鍛煉, 要看看到異國(guó)他鄉(xiāng)求學(xué)的感受,要聊聊用瑜伽減輕壓力, 還要告訴大家怎么用美語(yǔ)說“拍馬屁”和“黑洞”。
A:Donny, 節(jié)目介紹完了,我有件事得問問你。上次你說幫我修電腦,快一個(gè)月了,你到底修好沒有啊?
B:當(dāng)然修好了!I'm just installing some cool programs to your computer. You need to trust me, 楊琳,I'm quite tech savvy.

Learn A Word Savvy
今天我們要學(xué)的詞是savvy. Savvy is spelled s-a-v-v-y, savvy. Savvy 機(jī)智的,聰明的。Savvy job hunters use the social networking site LinkedIn to gain all kinds of information. 經(jīng)驗(yàn)豐富的求職者通過職業(yè)社交網(wǎng)站Linkedin獲取各種信息。我們可以在savvy前面加上一個(gè)特定范圍,形容一個(gè)人在某一方面很在行。比如:My friend Jack is really computer savvy. 我朋友Jack對(duì)電腦特別在行。More and more companies are relying on group discount web sites to connect with tech-savvy consumers. 越來越多的公司通過團(tuán)購(gòu)網(wǎng)站,更好地為精通上網(wǎng)的顧客服務(wù)。好的,今天我們學(xué)習(xí)的詞是savvy, savvy, savvy。
A:Donny, I want to become more computer savvy, so next time my laptop breaks down, I think I'll try to fix it by myself.
B:You're saying you don't need my services anymore?
A:呵呵,你怎么聽著跟修電腦的小公司似的,生怕顧客跑了。
B:你倒是提醒我了,I should start a computer maintenance company on the side and earn some extra money!
A:你要真開這么個(gè)公司生意差不了! 那些大的電腦公司服務(wù)質(zhì)量不行,每次遇到問題打給客服求救,總是電腦接電話,把我指使得暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向!
B:I know! We have a way to describe how you feel. It's like being in a "black hole"! 咱們來聽下面的“美國(guó)習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)”,看看這個(gè)短語(yǔ)怎么用。
