Learn A Word #1359 hack
今天我們要學的詞是hack. Hack is spelled h-a-c-k, hack. Hack 意思是非法侵入，常用在網絡中。美國聯邦調查局逮捕了一名35歲男子。The man allegedly hacked into the personal email accounts of 50 victims, including many celebrities. 這名男子涉嫌非法侵入50個私人郵箱，受害者包括很多名人在內。索尼旗下的在線游戲和娛樂網絡再次遭受黑客襲擊。About 93,000 accounts were hacked. 大約9萬3千個帳戶被黑客非法侵入。黑莓手機服務中斷，生產廠家RIM公司表示: No evidence shows that the company's network has been hacked. 沒有證據顯示公司網絡遭受了黑客的襲擊。好的，今天我們學習的詞是hack，hack，hack.
A:今天我還接到一個朋友的email, 里面除了一個奇怪的廣告以外什么都沒有, I think her email account must have been hacked!
B:That's usually the case. You should let her know right away.
A:You're right. I'll call her.
B:楊琳，你不是說吃早茶么？什么時候?。?/p>
A:也不是真吃，咱們就聽一下過過癮吧!

各位聽眾，現在播送《流行美語》。 Larry 想和李華，還有她那些中國朋友多在一起玩兒，了解更多的中國文化。他們會用到兩個說法: once in a blue moon 和pull one's leg.
Larry:Hey, Lihua, there you are. I haven't seen you all day. What have you been up to?
LH:我剛才跟幾個中國同學出去喝珍珠奶茶啦，就是bubble tea！
Larry:Bubble tea, huh? What is that?
LH:??？你從沒聽說過珍珠奶茶？我簡直不能相信！
Larry:Haha, is it that surprising? Actually, sometimes I wish I could tag along with you guys. You know, so I could learn more about the Chinese culture.
LH:真的嗎？Larry，我還以為你對嘗試新事物沒什么興趣呢。
Larry:Aw... come on, Lihua. Even I'll admit that it's fun to try new things once in a blue moon.
LH:?。磕阏f什么moon?
Larry:In a blue moon. "Once in a blue moon" means once in a long while or on a rare occasion.
LH:我明白了，"Once in a blue moon" 就是不經常，很久發生一次，對嗎？
Larry:Yes. I don't think I'd enjoy being confronted with new things all the time, but every once in a blue moon it can be fun.
LH:你是說，你不喜歡成天被新事物包圍，但是好久來那么一下子，偶爾接觸點新鮮的東西，還是不錯的。這樣吧 Larry，下次我們再去喝bubble tea 的時候，我一定叫上你。
Larry:Sounds great! How often do you go get bubble tea anyway?
LH:其實我們也很少去。We only go once in a blue moon.
Larry:Hmm, well, if you only get bubble tea once in a blue moon, what are you always doing with your Chinese friends? I never know what you guys are up to.
LH:其實我們主要也就是吃吃喝喝啦。這個周末我們要去吃粵式點心。Have you ever heard of 點心, dim sum?
Larry:Dim sum...hmm. Sounds exotic. What's that?
LH:就是很多好吃的廣東小吃！有鍋貼，蘿卜糕，耗油芥藍……有時候，once in a blue moon, 我們還會點鳳爪—chicken feet!
Larry:Chicken feet? Yuck! Who would eat that? Lihua, are you pulling my leg?
LH:什么？Pulling your leg? 拉你的腿？
Larry:No, I mean are you playing a joke on me?
LH:哦，“pull your leg”就是開玩笑唬你的意思?？晌覜]有瞎說啊，鳳爪，也就是雞腳，可是非常好吃哦！
Larry:Oh my goodness! Well, if they're so delicious, how come you say you only eat them once in a blue moon?
LH:主要是因為鳳爪吃著麻煩，好多小骨頭，而且比較油膩，我怕長胖嘛！
Larry:OK, now I know you're pulling my leg!
LH:我沒有唬你啊。Larry，我們中國人吃的東西有時是比較奇怪，但真的很好吃。
Larry:Gross!
LH:切！不喜歡算了，下次去吃好吃的不叫你。
Larry:Come on, there's got to be something Chinese I can do with you guys.
LH:Hmm 我想一想啊，我知道了！你喜歡唱K么？KTV?
Larry:KTV? You mean karaoke? I don't know, Lihua. I don't really like
singing...
LH:Are you pulling my leg, Larry? 上次我明明聽見你帶著耳機在唱 Lady Gaga 的歌！
Larry:That's different! I'm too shy to sing in front of other people...I don't even know your friends that well.
LH:哎呀沒事！Larry，你唱歌挺好聽的！
Larry:Me? Sing well? Ha. Now I know you're pulling my leg.
LH:I'm not pulling your leg! 我說真的！你怎么老覺得我在糊弄你？
Larry:OK, OK, no need to get upset. You're right. I do like to sing once in a blue moon, but I don't know if I could do it in front of other people...
LH:Larry, 不是你要了解中國文化嘛？還這么多事兒。
Larry:I've got an idea. Let me start with that bubble tea stuff. I've had tea before. How weird can it be? I know you guys only go get bubble tea once in a blue moon, but I can wait. Why do they call it bubble tea anyway?
LH:叫珍珠奶茶是因為茶里有很多很有嚼勁的小圓子！看起來像珍珠一樣！
Larry:Really? And what are the black bubbles made of?
LH:嗯...是用雞腳做的！
Larry:Wow.
LH:哈！Larry, this time I was pulling your leg. 這回我是逗你的啦！
Larry:Oh! Come on, Lihua...
