美语会话实录第186期(MP3+文本):Sick of being sick
英文原文:
Three days later
Lily:Mom, I'm ready for school.
Mom:Let me feel your forehead. I'm so glad it wasn't strep throat.
Lily:I don't have a fever, and I'm ready for my test.
Mom:But I'm not sure you're strong enough yet. Here's some seafood rice soup I made. It's delicious.
Lily:I'm fine, Mom. I feel so much better. I want to go to school. I'm missing out on all the fun.
Mom:But the last two days were a weekend.
Lily:Let me go to school, please! I'm sick of medicine, sick of soup, and sick of being sick!
参考译文:
三天之后
莉莉:妈,我准备好去上学了。
妈妈:让我摸摸你的额头。幸好这次不是链球菌感染。
莉莉:我没发烧,考试我也已经准备好了。
妈妈:但我不知道你的体力够不够。这里有一些我煮的海鲜米粒汤。很好吃喔。
莉莉:妈,我很好。我感觉好多了。我想去上学。我错过好多有趣的事。
妈妈:但前两天是周末啊。
莉莉:求求你让我上学!我受够了吃药、受够了喝汤、也受够了生病!
重点词汇:
strep throat (n.)
链球菌感染,这是一种学童常见的咽喉感染疾病,有时会导致“扁桃腺发炎”tonsillitis并伴随发烧、发冷、全身筋肉酸痛、吞咽困难及呕吐
I have strep throat so don't kiss me.
我得了链球菌感染,别亲我。
miss out on...
错过(某件事)
I wouldn't want to miss out on that computer exhibition.
我不想错过那场计算机展。
be sick of...
对(某样东西)感到厌烦。因为sick也是“生病的”,所以说sick of being sick是在玩文字游戏
I am sick of computer exhibitions.
我对计算机展已经感到厌烦了。
