美语会话实录第242期(MP3+文本):You're not to blame!

英文原文:

Holly: You know, Taylor's been in the hospital for a couple of days.
Yi-jun:And I'm the one who put him there with my football moves.
Holly: But you're not to blame for them keeping him there.
Yi-jun: Yeah, what was all that stuff about running tests about anyway?
Holly: I'm not sure, but we can find out. I bought some crosswords to keep him busy.
Yi-jun: Great, then let's go visit him. I want to give him some flowers, too, to say sorry.

参考译文:

荷莉：你知道吗，泰勒已经住院好几天了。
怡君：而我正是那位没接好美式足球，害他住院的人。
荷莉：但那些人不让他出院，可不能怪你。
怡君：对呀，那堆有的没的检验是要干嘛用的？
荷莉：我也不太清楚，不过我们可以去搞清楚。我买了些填字游戏，让他有事情忙。
怡君：不错喔，那我们去探望他吧。我也想送些花给他，跟他道歉

重点词汇:

blame (v.)
责备
I don't blame you for making your husband crazy.
我不怪你把老公搞得神经兮兮。
run tests
做检测
The doctor is running a test to see if I have brain damage.
医师要进行一些测试看我是否脑部受损。
crossword (n.)
（纵横格猜字的）填字游戏
A: My brother does the crossword every day.
我哥哥每天都做填字游戏。
B: His vocabulary must be huge.
他的字汇量一定很多。
keep someone busy
让某人有事情做
The TV should keep Junior busy while we get a little more comfortable.
我们稍微休息一下的时候，儿子可以去看电视。
football moves
足球动作。move是指“动作”，因为跟运动相关的动作常是一连串的，所以大部分前面加运动名称时，都会用复数型。而在上期里，怡君为了接球撞倒泰勒，造成他送医急救，所以她才相当自责
I'm practicing football moves all day Saturday.
我星期六整天都在练习足球动作。
