Larry和李华在教室里等琼斯教授把改完的考卷发下来。今天李华会学到两个常用语：bad vibe和wake up call。
LL: Li Hua, I have a really bad vibe about this test.
LH: 你觉得你考的怎么样？Bad vibe? 那是什么意思啊？
LL: A vibe is a feeling. Since I don't think I did very well on this test, I have a bad vibe about the grade I am going to get.
LH: 噢，vibe就是一种感觉，你觉得你这次考试考得不好，所以有种不祥之兆，也就是你所谓的bad vibe。
LL: (Gets test back) Ooh. You see, my bad vibe was right. I got a C.
LH: 嗨，C不算太糟啦，这门课很困难，而且琼斯教授批分数一贯都很严。
LL: Yeah, I actually had a bad vibe about this course before the class ever started. Some of my friends told me it was difficult and I'd have to work hard.
LH：其实我在上这门课之前也有点担心，因为上过这课的人都说很难，要下很多功夫。
LL：So, what did you get?
LH: 嗯，我得到了A。这次考试算是不错，不过我很担心下星期要交的那份报告。I have a bad vibe about that paper.
LL: Why do you have a bad vibe about the paper?
LH: 因为我觉得用英文写报告是最难的。英文不是我的母语，每次写完英文报告，我总觉得好像有很多不通顺的地方。
LL: Li Hua, you can always ask me or another student to look over your paper before your turn it in. I am sure you'll do fine. About that, I have a good vibe.
LH: 真的？Larry，你愿意修改我的报告？你真好，谢谢你。
LL: Uh-oh. I have a bad vibe about the look Professor Jones is giving us right now.
LH: 对，嘘，琼斯教授在看我们了，别说了，下课后再聊吧。
LL: (After class) You know, Li Hua, getting a C on the test in Professor Jones' class was a real wake-up call.
LH: 你说拿了C是wake-up call，哎，这个wake-up call不是叫人起床吗？难道你在上课的时候睡觉啊？
LL: No, no, a wake-up call is not like an alarm clock that wakes you up from your sleep. What I meant was the grade I got woke me up to the fact that I have to work harder for this class.
LH: 噢，wake-up call在这里不是指闹钟叫人起床，而是指一个警告。所以你是说，这次考试成绩不好提醒你要在这节课上加把劲，要更用功！
LL: Yeah! Professor Jones gave me a wake-up call in the form of a bad grade. Now that class is over, I'm going to go home and study. Hey! Li Hua! Look out for that bike!
LH: 哎哟！那个骑自行车的人差点儿撞上我。
LL: Yeah, that was a wake-up call for us to be more careful about walking across campus.
LH: 说的也是，这就提醒了我们，在校园里走路也得小心注意，不然很可能会受伤的。
LL: We should be more careful. Say, Li Hua, where are you going now?
LH: 嗯，我想利用下午没有课的时间，到体育馆的健身房去锻炼锻炼。
LL: Why the sudden interest in physical fitness? You don't usually go to the gym, do you?
LH: 嗨，别说了，你也知道我这个人是从不上健身房的。还不是上回健康检查时，医生说我体重有点超重，所以喽，that was a wake-up call.
LL: You don't look overweight to me.
LH: Larry，你心地真好，还安慰我看起来不胖。其实我倒不是那么在意外表看起来胖不胖，主要还是担心肥胖会影响健康吧！
LL: And maybe it was a wake-up call that you and I shouldn't go out to have ice cream so often.
LH: 啊？什么？要我放弃吃冰淇淋？我愿意每天上健身房，但是我一定得吃冰淇淋！
今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是bad vibe, 就是不好的感觉，不详的预感。另一个常用语是wake-up call，这是指一个提醒或警告。
