【流行美语第8课】舍己为人，不可能！
[audio]http://f1.w.hjfile.cn/doc/201107/pa37727.mp3[/audio][size=4][color=#ff0000]李华在春假开始前考完了期中考，Larry去学校接她。他们会用到两个常用语：take one for the [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/team]team[/url]和fat [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/chance]chance[/url].[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] Larry: Lihua, how did your tests go?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 考得不错!现在我已经等不及开始春假啦![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: That's great to hear, because I have some [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/awesome]awesome[/url] plans for us this week![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 太好了! 你有什么好主意？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: We're going camping with my high school buddies![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 啊？和你的高中同学出去露营？
Larry: That's right![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 我可不想去。[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: What?? Why not?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 你们那些男生在一起就会喝啤酒聊棒球，我也插不上嘴，没意思。[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: What's so wrong with that? Besides, Mike and Jason are both bringing their girlfriends - I can't go without you. Can't you just take one for the team?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: The team? 什么团队？你在说什么？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: To take one for the team means to make a [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/sacrifice]sacrifice[/url] for the good of your group or team.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 哦，to take one for the team就是为了团队的利益牺牲自己的利益。你的高中同学都带女朋友去，如果我能跟你去露营，虽然自己可能觉得没趣儿，但是你会高兴，对不对？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Yes. Here's another example. If you're working on a group project with your classmates, and you agree to do a really [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/tedious]tedious[/url] part of the project that no one else wants to do, you'd be taking one for the team.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 哦，在团队作业中，如果我自愿完成最无聊的、别人都不愿意做的那个部分，我就是take one for the team - 为了整个团队能完成作业，自己吃亏喽![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: That's right! So are you going to take one for the team by going on the camping trip with me?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 可是Larry, 我不懂棒球，也不喝酒，去了我会闷死的...[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Come on, Lihua...Can't you just take one for the team this once? I'm sure you will have a good time talking to my friends' girlfriends.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Larry, 我还是不去了。[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Fine, Lihua. You're a [url=http://dict.hjenglish.com/w/horrible]horrible[/url] teammate.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Larry, 你别生气。其实春假我已经有安排了，我要为中国学生会的端午节龙舟赛作准备工作啊。[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]******[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: The Dragonboat Festival? Isn't that months away?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 没错，是还有好几个月呢，但是我现在就得开始找场地了啊! 对了，我想起来了，你春假也不能闲着，得开车带我四处去联络比赛场地![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Pfff! Fat Chance![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat? Chance?? 你是什么意思？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: No! Fat chance means no chance. Why should I help you out when you won't go camping with me?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 啊？Fat Chance就是没可能？你不帮忙啊! 真差劲![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Hmm. It seems we both need each other to do something for the other. Are you sure you won't take one for the team and come camping with me and my friends?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat Chance! 我坚决不去跟你露营! Larry, 你不是已经答应中国学生会的同学，说好要帮忙的么？怎么能不算话？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Well, I -[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]LH: Why don't you take one for the team? 你怎么不牺牲一下？[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]Larry: Oh, alright. I guess I should stay and help since I already promised. But, will you at least come camping with us sometime this summer?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat chance![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] Larry: What about next year?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat chance![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] Larry:...Will you ever stop saying "fat chance"?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat chance![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] Larry: - OK, Lihua. I get the idea! Man, I should have never taught you this phrase.[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: 哈哈哈! Larry, 你气得胡子都翘起来了! 我跟你开玩笑的! 一直以来，你总是耐心地教我英文，我很感激呢！Thanks for taking one for the team and being patient with me![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] Larry: Yea yea, whatever. Just remember - you owe me one. There's going to come a day when I will need you to do something you might not want to do to help me out, and I'll expect you to take one for the team, OK?[/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000] LH: Fat chance![/color][/size]
[size=4][color=#ff0000]今天李华学了两个常用语。一个是take one for the team，意思是“为了别人牺牲自己的利益”。另一个是fat chance，意思是“不可能”。[/color][/size]
