A:美語訓練班的時間到啦！我是楊琳！
B:我是 Kat! 今天我們學點什么呢，楊琳？
A:咱們要學游，要去租車渡假，要阻止同事們亂傳閑話，還要告訴大家怎么用美語說“搶手貨”，和“虛驚一場”。
B:But first we have "Learn a Word". Right?
A:沒錯！先來學個詞兒！
Learn A Word out of date
今天我們要學的詞是out of date. Out is spelled o-u-t, out; and date, d-a-t-e, date; out of date. Out of date 意思是過時的。His contact information is out of date. 他的聯絡方式已經變了。Technology companies say the 25-year-old federal Internet privacy law is out of date. 高科技公司說，有關互聯網隱私的聯邦法律是25年制訂的，已經過時了。The British government warned that computer lessons offered in schools are out of date. 英國政府警告說，目前學校里教授的電腦課程已經過時了。With all the smart phones on the market, conventional cell phones seem to be out of date. 跟智能手機相比，普通手機好象有些過時了。好的，今天我們學習的詞是out of date, out of date, out of date.
A:現在社會日新月異，要想不out of date, 真的不容易! 有時候你會突然感覺，Oh my Gosh, my hairstyle is out of date. My phone is out of date. Even what I learned at school is out of date! 唉! 不是我不明白，這世界變化快啊!
B:Don't worry, Yanglin, there are things in life that can stand the test of time. If your style is classy, you'll never go out of date.
A:也對。而且你發現了么，Kat, 潮流總是來回打轉。拿衣服來說，現在流行的蝙蝠袖，鉛筆褲，好像就是我媽年輕時的潮流哦!
B:Exactly! So you can be really fashionable in your Mom's leggings. Who would have thought of that!
A:對啊，這樣豈不是很省錢？穿媽媽的衣服來個復古風!
B:Good idea!
A:好了，咱們繼續聽節目吧。
B:Let's listen to Words and Idioms.
