[audio]http://www.51voa.com/path.asp?url=/201103/how002.mp3[/audio][color=#07dc6][font=Verdana, Arial, Simsun][size=12px][size=12px]Jessica 在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是Jimmy要问的：爆冷门
Jimmy: Jessica, 昨天看学校的足球比赛了吗？爆了个大冷门儿，法学院居然输给了商学院，哎，这大冷门怎么说啊？
Jessica：冷门？
Jimmy：哦，对啊，就是铁定会输的队，最后居然打赢了。
Jessica: Oh, in English we call that an upset.
Jimmy: Upset? 那不是不高兴的意思吗？
Jessica: That's true. 做形容词的时候，重音在后面，是 upset (emphasis on the second syllable), 指不高兴，但是做名词，重音在前面，upset (emphasis on the first syllable), it means an unexpected win.
Jimmy: 哦，我明白了，中文里的爆冷门，在英文里就是 upset. 那原来大家都以为法学院会赢，这种赛前被看好的球队美语里叫什么？
Jessica: Easy. That team's called the favorite.
Jimmy: 这么说，The law school team was the favorite to win the game. 法学院足球队本来是被看好的热门球队。
Jessica: That's right. You can also refer to the team that was expected to lose as the underdog.
Jimmy: Underdog. under后面加上dog, underdog 就是在比赛里实力比较差的一方。这么说，我们中文系的排球队，不论跟谁比赛，都是 underdog.
Jessica: Jimmy！Isn't your girlfriend Rachel the team captain?
Jimmy: 唉，别提了...That's why I always cheer for the underdog...
Jessica: hehe.....言归正传，What did you learn today？
Jimmy: 第一，爆冷门叫 upset,重音在前面; 第二，赛前被看好的一方叫 favorite，第三，赛前不被看好的一方叫 underdog.
Jessica: 不错，我也学了个词儿--upset 叫作“冷门”。[/size]
