夏天的时候，Larry和李华开车去海边玩。李华会学到两个常用语：jazzed和to catch some waves。
LL: Li Hua, I am really jazzed about this trip to the beach.
LH: Jazz不是爵士乐吗？我们去海边跟爵士乐有什么关系呢？
LL: You are right, but by Jazzed I mean to be really excited. I am really looking forward to spending some time at the beach today.
LH: 我知道了，Jazzed的意思是很兴奋。其实我也挺高兴的，不过我想知道有什么事情让你这么兴奋呢？
LL: There are three reasons. First, I am really jazzed to not be working! I have been working really hard on a project for my boss, and it is really nice to have some time off.
LH: 对，你为你老板的那个项目花了一个月的时间，现在完成了当然要放松一下喽。不用上班，这个理由很成立，另外两个理由呢？
LL: Second, I am very jazzed about trying out my new surf board and riding some waves.
LH: 你想试试你新买的冲浪板。那也合理，你那新的冲浪板真是很漂亮。要我是你，I would be very jazzed, too. 不过呢，我只想躲在阳伞下面看书。
LL: I don't see how you can get jazzed about reading a book, Li Hua.
LH: Oh, Larry, 你喜欢冲浪，我喜欢看书。各人的兴趣不同嘛。
LL: I guess that is what makes the world interesting! I get really jazzed about playing Frisbee at the beach, too.
LH: 在沙滩上扔飞盘，那有什么好玩的？那是小孩玩的东西。
LL: Remember what you said, Li Hua? Different people get jazzed about different things.
LH: 没错，没错，我是说过。
LL: Remember, the guy in our English class really get jazzed about flying kites. We should have asked him to come to the beach with us today.
LH: 对了，忘了邀请他一起来了。你不是说有三个理由让你兴奋吗？
LL: Yes, the third reason is that I am jazzed to be spending some time with one of my favorite friends. And that would be you, Li Hua.
LH: 第三个理由是跟像我这样的好朋友一起出游让你感到兴奋。Larry，你的嘴可真甜呐。不过，我还是谢谢你的好意。
LL: Well, now that I've put on some sun screen, Li Hua, I am going to go catch some waves.
LH: Catch some waves? 你能抓到海浪吗？
LL: Ha, ha. I don't mean with my arms. To catch some waves- WAVES, means to ride some waves on your surfboard.
LH: Oh, 我明白了， 你是要去冲浪。 不过，今天的浪不太，即使是用新的冲浪板也不好冲哟。
LL: You are right, Li Hua. It isn't the best day to catch waves. The waves aren't very big, but I can at least try out my new surfboard by catching some little waves.
LH: 不管是大浪还是小浪， 反正有浪就行了。Go and catch your waves。我在这里看我的书。
LL: Oh, come on Li Hua, why don't you come out and catch some waves with me?
LH: 我不知道怎么冲浪，我从来没有试过。
LL: Catching waves isn't hard, Li Hua. I can show you how.
LH: Okay, 那我去试试。不过， 你知道我有点紧张。
LL: Oh, it will be fine, Li Hua. Let's go catch some waves.
(Ocean/splashing sounds)
LH: 我们已经在水里了，那怎么冲浪呢？
LL: First, you hold on to the surfboard like this. And then you wait for a wave to catch. When a big wave comes along, you stand up on the surfboard and ride it.
LH: 我来试试。 把冲浪板拿好， 然后海浪一来，就站到冲浪板上。噢，我的天啊， 大浪来了！
LL: Okay, Li Hua, try to stand up. Good job, you caught your first wave!
LH: Wheeeee, 我第一次冲浪成功了！
LL: See, I told you catching some waves isn't hard.
LH: 冲浪是不难。 Larry，我们再来一次吧。
今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是jazzed, 意思是令人兴奋，还有一个是catch some waves, 意思是海上冲浪。
