英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ):On edge 煩躁不安
李華和Larry今天到購(gòu)物中心去采購(gòu)圣誕禮物。
LH: 我真搞不懂耶!還有幾個(gè)星期就要過(guò)圣誕節(jié)了,可是有些人看起來(lái)好像不是很開(kāi)心,好像很緊張,很煩躁呢!
LL: Oh, well, when people are busy doing their Christmas shopping, they can sometimes be a little on edge.
LH: 你說(shuō)他們?cè)趺蠢玻縀dge不是指在某個(gè)東西的邊緣嗎?On edge。那是什么意思呢?
LL: No, no, I said, everyone is on edge that means everyone is a little nervous or in a bad mood.
LH: 原來(lái),on edge就是緊張不安的意思?墒俏乙詾榇蠹叶枷矚g過(guò)圣誕節(jié),不是都要高高興興的嗎?為什么不開(kāi)心呢?(grumbles) 哎呀!那個(gè)小姐擠到我前面了。這里好擠噢!
LL: People do love Christmas, and Americans are always try to be kinder and friendlier this time of year. But people are under pressure to buy Christmas gifts for all of their friends and family members, which is why a lot of them are on edge right now.
LH: 嗯,忙著采購(gòu)給每個(gè)家人朋友的'禮物,是挺有壓力的。我其實(shí)也有不少壓力,學(xué)期快結(jié)束了,我得交報(bào)告,還得買(mǎi)禮物,還要批改學(xué)生的考卷。Hey! (yells in English) Watch where you’re going!
LL: Calm down Li Hua! I know that you’re on edge right now, but try not start any arguments, OK?
LH: 我才沒(méi)有要和人吵架呢!我只是要那個(gè)人小心一點(diǎn)!
LL: Look, everyone’s on edge around here, and so are you. It’s really easy to start an argument in this kind of situation. Just calm down.
LH: 好嘛!對(duì)不起嘛!我想我真的需要冷靜一下。Larry我們能不能找個(gè)地方坐下,喝點(diǎn)東西?咦!這兒有張桌子,我們坐這兒吧!
LL: Why don’t we come back some other time when it’s not so crowded. When you’re on edge like this, it’s better to stay away from other people.
LH: 那怎么行!我們已經(jīng)費(fèi)了這么大功夫到這兒來(lái)。沒(méi)買(mǎi)到禮物就回去呢?你怎么啦?
LL: Sorry, Li Hua, I guess I’m a little on edge myself. I still have a lot school work to do for next week, and I want to finish my shopping early so I can relax during Christmas break.
LH: 好,那我們就盡快把禮物買(mǎi)好,趕快回家羅!
