本文选自The Big Bang Theory《生活大爆炸》,Leonard和Sheldon讨论是否要邀请他们的新邻居过来吃饭聊天。

Leonard: I think we should be good neighbors and invite her over, make her feel welcome.
Sheldon: We never invited Louis/Louise over.
Leonard: Well… and that was wrong of us. We need to widen our circle.
Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on "MySpace".
Leonard: Yes, and you've never met one of them.
Sheldon: That's the beauty of it.
Leonard: I'm gonna invite her over. We'll have a nice meal and... chat.
Sheldon: Chat? We don't chat. At least not offline.

重点知识讲解:

1. invite over 邀请某人过来
例句:He's decided to invite her over, and tell her how much he loves her and maybe propose. 他已经决定邀请她过来吃饭,告诉她他是多么爱她,或许还要求婚。
2. wrong of 不确实的,不正确的,错误的
例句:It was wrong of you to go there. He will not be happy to see you. 你去那是错误的。他看到你会不高兴的。
3. widen circle 扩大朋友圈
例句:We should widen our circle, and make more friends outside of the Internet. 我们应该扩大一下朋友圈,多交一些网络以外的朋友。
4. the beauty of something 美好之处
例句:It's relaxing to be around nature. That's the beauty of it. 投入大自然的怀抱令人心旷神怡,那正是它的美妙之处。

汉语译文:

Leonard: 我觉得我们应该做个好邻居,请她过来吃饭,让她感到受欢迎。
Sheldon: 我们就从未请过之前那个叫Louis还是Louise的邻居过来。
Leonard: 嗯,所以还是我们做得不对。我们需要扩大我们的朋友圈。
Sheldon: 我的朋友圈已经很大了。在MySpace里我有212个好友。
Leonard: 是,但是你从来没见过他们。
Sheldon: 这正是它的美好之处。
Leonard: 我决定去请她过来,大家一起吃顿好饭,然后……聊聊天。
Sheldon: 聊天?我们不聊天。至少离线后不聊。

课后题目:外国人的聊天很幽默。你呢?你经常上网聊天吗?那上网聊些什么呢?与我们一起分享吧。例如:今天班里发生了什么好笑事?今天上班有什么烦心或者开心的事?都可以说一说。
