对话讲解

A: Well, when it comes to computer games, I've been around - if you know what I mean, Li Hua.
B: "Been around"? 我还真不知道这是什么意思。
A: "Been around" means to have lots of experience doing something. It is actually short for a longer expression...
B: 我想起来了。说什么人特别老道,就是"He has been around the block."
A: That's right! We shorten it to ''been around,'' but it basically means the same thing.
B: 所以你说自己''have been around.'' 就是说你打过很多电脑游戏喽?
A: That's right. I started playing computer games when I was seven years old, and I still play computer games.
