[audio]http://f1.w.hjfile.cn/doc/201107/pa37335.mp3[/audio][size=4][color=navy]李华和Larry在讨论晚饭吃什么。他们会用到两个常用语：turn a [/color][/size][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/new][size=4][color=navy]new[/color][/size][/url][size=4][color=navy] leaf和take baby steps.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] Larry: I'm [/color][/size][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/starve][size=4][color=navy]starving[/color][/size][/url][size=4][color=navy], Lihua! What should we eat for dinner today?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 晚饭？只要不吃你的最爱 - 汉堡包和薯条 - 就行![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: What are you talking about? I wasn't planning on eating fast food![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 我才不信呢。不是汉堡包，那一定是炸鸡![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Nope. Lihua, I know I used to eat a lot of unhealthy fast food in the past, but now I've turned a new [/color][/size][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/leaf][size=4][color=navy]leaf[/color][/size][/url][size=4][color=navy] - I'm never going to eat fast food again![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: You turned a leaf? 什么意思？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: To turn a new leaf means to start over fresh - to totally get rid of bad habits and start over new again.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 哦，to turn a new leaf，就是甩掉坏习惯，从头开始，[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Right. Lately, my bad eating habits have been making me feel just [/color][/size][url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/awful][size=4][color=navy]awful[/color][/size][/url][size=4][color=navy]. So, I decided to turn a new leaf and start eating only fresh, healthy foods - starting today.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 你说，因为你一直吃垃圾食品，感觉身体状态很差，所以你要痛改前非，从今天开始吃健康食品！太好了， Larry![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] Larry: Lihua, I have been gaining a little weight lately... But, that will all change now that I turned a new leaf and started living a healthy lifestyle![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 哈，你要从头开始，过健康生活! Larry, 你真能做到么？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: No problem, Lihua! When I make a decision, I stay with it![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 是么？我昨天刚买了一大袋你最喜欢的薯片，既然你已经走上了健康生活之路。这些薯片，就由我替你消灭吧！[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Ah? You mean, you bought some Lays Double - Cheese and Sour Cream Potato Chips?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 对啊，就是你最喜欢吃的，双层奶酪加酸奶油口味! 好可惜啊，早知道你turned a new leaf, 我就不浪费钱了。[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Well, wait a minute, Lihua. We can't just let your money go to waste. Maybe I can just eat a little bit now to hold me over until we have dinner...[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 什么？你想在吃饭前先来些薯片垫垫底？你刚才还说从今天起再也不吃垃圾食品了呢![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Oh, Lihua! But I can't just turn a whole new leaf all at once - that would be too difficult. Maybe I can just take baby steps towards my goal.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 你是说，你不可能一下子把生活方式全改变，所以得take baby steps。我猜，这就是慢慢来，循序渐进，对么？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Yes! I could make slow progress towards my goal. You know, like taking small baby steps.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 可你的“慢慢来”是指多慢？不会要10年吧![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Lihua, if I take baby steps, even though the whole process will take a lot more time, it will be a lot less difficult. It's like getting into a swimming pool. First, you have to put your foot in to see if the water is cold. Then, put both legs in. Then, slowly...[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 这也太慢了!直接跳进游泳池，多痛快![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: I don't know how to swim![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 行啦，Larry! 我看你不用慢慢来，拖拖拉拉地更难受![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: With that bag of chips calling my name over there, I'm already in pain, Lihua! I gotta have some![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 啊？Larry， 你的健康生活呢？这么快就放弃啦？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy](抢薯片袋的声音)[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Give me that bag! I promise I'll only eat a little bit! I'm making baby steps towards my goal of eating healthy![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 哼，给你给你![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy]Larry: Thank you very much! Man, I haven't had these in so long - hey, wait a minute. These are...dried banana chips?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 没错，这些是干香蕉片! Larry, I've turned a new leaf in my live as well.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] Larry: Huh? What leaf?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] LH: 我以前总是纵容你，给你买垃圾食品，现在，我也要从新来过。我发誓：以后再也不给你买这些不健康的吃的了。咱们就一起努力吧！[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=navy] 今天李华学了两个常用语，一个是to turn a new leaf，意思是“从新开始，痛改前非”。另一个是take baby steps，意思是“慢慢来，循序渐进”。[/color][/size] 现在有音频了！呵呵 这样练口语最好了 I mean like the kind of conversation [b]回复 [url=http://bbs.tingroom.com/redirect.php?goto=findpost&pid=757978&ptid=421803]3#[/url] [i]kobe[/i] [/b]
