A: 歡迎大家來到這期的美語訓練班! 我是楊琳!
B: 我是Mike! 楊琳，趕快來告訴大家今天都要學什么?
A: 沒問題! 今天，咱們要去看看美國人怎么給小費，跟移民律師聊聊怎么申請移民，還要告訴你怎么說“不同尋常”!
B: Tipping is definitely a western tradition. I remember when I had just come back from China, I always forgot to give a tip and people would give me dirty looks...
A: 哈哈哈!! 嗯，我也記得我剛到美國時也特別不習慣給小費呢! 不過這個咱們等會再說，現在，咱們還是趕快來進入第一個單元，Learn a word!
Learn A Word 1547 insane
今天我們要學的詞是 insane. Insane is spelled i-n-s-a-n-e, insane. Insane 可以用來指瘋狂的，精神不正常的。比如，A Texas judge found the JetBlue pilot insane and not guilty of interfering with a flight. 德克薩斯州的一位法官裁定，捷藍航空公司的一個飛行員精神失常，所以他干擾正常飛行的罪名不成立。Insane 也可以用來形容某事過于荒謬，不同尋常。比如，He inherited an insane amount of money from a distant relative. 他從一個遠房親戚那里繼承了一大筆錢。再比如，My boss puts in insane hours. He's a typical workaholic. 我老板工作沒日沒夜，他是個典型的工作狂。好的，今天我們學習的詞是insane, insane, insane...
B: Ok, I have to say I like DC a lot, but summer here is kind of insane.
A: Are you talking about the humidity? If you are, I'm definitely with you...
B: Yes! How can the humidity be 80 or 90 percent every single day? It's so insanely humid that my usually awesome hair looks frizzy! Ehh...
A: Usually awesome hair? 請不要自作多情。(笑) 不過今天早晨我在地鐵站聽人說馬上就要下大雨了，so I guess this heat wave is at the end of the line.
B: That would be great! I don't know how long I can take this! Actually, you just mentioned a very good term: the end of the line. Let's listen to today's words and idioms to see what it means!
