Drop Dead Diva,《美女上错身》

A:Mm,Fred,I feel woozey.Ugh,And I have a headache.Maybe I'm sick.

甲:嗯，佛瑞德，我头晕目眩的，我头痛得要死，可能生病了。

B:Uh, ooh, let's see—Birthday party, alcohol, karaoke. I would say you're hung over.

乙:呃，回顾一下-生日派对，喝酒，唱卡拉OK。我说你这是宿醉。

A:No. I don't get hung over.

甲:不，我从不宿醉的。

B:Deb didn't get hung over. Jane hardly drank. You haven't build up your tolerance.

乙:黛布从不宿醉。简很少喝酒，你身体还没办法适应。

A:Right. Of course. Fred, you know, she didn't drink…she didn't go to clubs,she didn't get massages. What did she do to relax, to-to blow off steam?Let me guess-she ate.

甲:是啊，还用说。佛瑞德，你知道，她不喝酒…不泡吧，不做按摩。那她都做什么来放松，来-来发泄压力啊？我猜是-大吃。

B:Actually, no. She ate when she was stressed. Uh, to relax, she enjoyed crossword puzzles.

乙:实际上不是那样的，她有压力时才会大吃。放松的话她玩填字游戏。

A:Lame.Um，you still haven't told me why you're here.

甲:真没劲。你还没告诉我你为什么在这儿。

B:Somebody had to clean up after your party.

乙:派对过后，总要有人收拾吧。

A:So sweet.

甲:你人真好。

生活口语

Did you throw a party last night? It seems that you have a lot of cleaning to do.

你昨晚开派对了吗?看上去你要好好清扫一番了。

Yes. It was fun but now I'm going to clean up the place.

是的，派对很好玩，但是我现在要打扫一下。

重点讲解:

I'm going to tidy up now.

I'm going to clean up the place.

打扫、整理家是日常生活中常做的事，“打扫”可以用tidy up来表达，但是在口语中更常用clean up.如，I'm going to clean up the living room.我要打扫下客厅。如果是家庭大清扫，可以说:I'm going to do a thorough cleanup of this place. 老外常用my place表示“自己的住处”
