VOA流行美语第83课：shoot; shotMichael和李华刚在外面吃完晚饭李华会学到两个常用语：shoot和shotL: 嗨，这顿饭吃得真不错Michael, 快付帐，我们走吧这次该你付了吧？M: Yeah yeah, I know. I”ll just charge it to my credit card.... oh shoot! I forgot my wallet!L: 你忘了带钱包？没有信用卡你就要shoot. Shoot不是开枪吗？M: I said “Oh shoot!“. If you say “shoot“ loudly and suddenly, it”s a way to express alarm or disappointment. If you say it slowly, and with a low tone of voice, it shows disgust or indifference.L: 噢，shoot在这里不是开枪的意思呀？你说，突然大声地说shoot，就表示惊吓或者是绝望。
假如是低声地说，那就表示厌烦或者是不在乎Michael, 你先给我举个大声说的例子吧M: Well, if I close my car door and realize that I just locked my keys inside, I might yell “Aw, shoot!“L: 关了车门才发觉车钥匙给锁在车里了，那是很烦人的，在中文里我们就会说：啊呀，真糟糕！那Michael, 可不行以再给我举一个低声说的例子呢？M: If someone tells me a story about a scar on their little finger, I might say “Shoot, that”s nothing. Look at this big scar on my back.“L: 你的意思是，假如小手指上一个疤跟你背上的大疤比算不了什么在中文里我们是说：嗨，那算什么！ 对了，Michael, 这个shoot是不是骂人的话？M: (slowly) Li Hua, the word “shoot“ isn”t vulgar! Actually, it”s a word people use when they want to avoid cursing. A little kid could say it, and no one would care.L: 噢，shoot是心里很火，可是又不想骂人的时候说的。
所以不是什么难听的话得了，你忘了钱包，那看来只能我来付钱了！Oh shoot! I don”t believe it. 我也没带信用卡那我们怎么办哪？M: (slowly) Shoot, it”s nothing to worry about， Li Hua. My house is close by. I can walk home and get my wallet.******L: Michael, 你怎么那么快就回来了？M: (panting) I ran as fast as I could. (pants some more) Boy, am I shot!L: 你从家里跑来的！ 你那么紧急干什么呀！ 对了，你刚刚说：I am shot! 在路上有人对你开枪，所以你才跑那么快啊？M: What? No, of course not! “To be shot“ means to have no energy, to feel weak and tired. I really tired myself out running so fast: I”m really shot now!L: 噢，to be shot是累了，觉得没劲的意思。
哎哟，你跑那么快固然会累咯对不起，原来我也可以走回家去拿信用卡的，可是我昨晚只睡了五个小时，所以我今日也感到很累 - so I”m shot too.M: I used to stay up late studying too, and sometimes I”d be so shot that I”d fall asleep in class.L: 我也跟你一样，老是开夜车念书，结果上课的时候悃得打瞌睡以前在国内念书的时候好象都没有这么紧急呢！M: (slowly) Shoot, Li Hua. If you feel that way, you might as well stay in China.L: 哼，要是我这么想，我就呆在中国！你说这话是什么意思呀！那你老觉得累，你干脆呆在家里算了M: Shoot! Don”t be mad! I was just kidding.L: Shoot, 我也是跟你开玩笑嘛李华学到了两个常用语，一个是shoot，这是一个赞叹词，表示厌烦，绝望或者是苦恼，也就是有的时候心里不快乐，但是又不想用脏话骂人的时候用的词李华还学到了to be shot，这是很累的意思。
