Jessica在北京學(xué)漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會(huì)來請教她。今天是逸華要問的：頭腦風(fēng)暴。

Jessica:Yihua! your presentation was awesome! I'm really impressed!

YH:謝謝你 Jessica! 做得好，可不是我一個(gè)人的功勞！ 我們小組成員坐下來，來了一次頭腦風(fēng)暴！所以演示才這么成功。

Jessica:頭腦風(fēng)暴？What's that?

YH:就是大家坐下來一起討論，集思廣益呀！

Jessica:Oh! I think I know what you are talking about! You guys had a brainstorming session.

YH:Brain, b-r-a-i-n, 大腦； storm, s-t-o-r-m, 風(fēng)暴。加在一起，brainstorm 就是頭腦風(fēng)暴嘍！

Jessica:Exactly! Brainstorm basically means to put your heads together in order to come up with good ideas.

YH:put someones' heads together, 把頭放在一起！引伸出來就是集思廣益。就象中文里說的，三個(gè)臭皮匠，賽過一個(gè)諸葛亮。

Jessica:That's right! 對了，吳瓊的生日快到了，Let's put our heads together and figure out what we can give her for her birthday.

YH:Good idea! 我知道，吳瓊特別標(biāo)新立異，所以啊，這生日禮物也得有創(chuàng)意才行。

Jessica:I know how picky she can be... But we can do it! Let's think outside the box and see what we should get him.

YH:Think outside the box? 到盒子外面去找?

Jessica:It basically means to break out of your normal ideas and be creative.

YH:這個(gè)說法形象！Think outside the box! 跳出條條框框去想，就是有創(chuàng)意。集思廣義，一定能找到有創(chuàng)意的想法。

Jessica:There you go! Now tell me what you've learned today!

YH:第一：頭腦風(fēng)暴叫做：brainstorm;

第二，集思廣義，可以說:put ones' heads together;

第三， 創(chuàng)造性思維，叫think outside the box.
