Larry和李華剛下課。李華告訴Larry一個(gè)非常好的消息。李華今天要學(xué)會(huì )兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ) get out of here和burned out。
LM: Larry! 我有個(gè)好消息，說(shuō)了你一定不相信，我買(mǎi)的彩票中獎了!
LL: Really? Get out of here!
LH: 我中了彩票，你不為我高興，還讓我出去？Get out of here? 我們又不在屋子里，出去上哪兒去呀？
LL: No, listen，when someone tells you some good or exciting news, and you are really surprised, you can say get-out-of-here. It shows that you can barely believe the good news.
LH: 原來(lái)get out of here在這里是表示驚訝和難以相信的意思。按字面來(lái)解釋不就是出去嗎。
LL: You are right. So anyway, how much money did you win?
LH: 你說(shuō)我的彩票呀？ 我中獎得了一千美元。
LL: A thousand dollars? Get out of here! You are sooooo lucky! Hey, I've got some good news too. Do you remember that summer internship at the museum I applied for?
LH: 你申請暑假到那博物館去實(shí)習，當然記得呀！怎么啦？他們接受你去實(shí)習啦？
LL: That's right! And not only that, but they are going to pay me a good salary too!
LH: 讓你去實(shí)習，還給你很好的薪水？Get out of here! 我簡(jiǎn)直不能相信。這比中獎還棒。
LL: Heh, well, I don't know about that... Oh, by the way, you won't believe who I saw in the coffee shop near my apartment this morning, Jet Li!
LH: 什么？你在公寓附近的咖啡店里看見(jiàn)李連杰了？Get out of here!
LL: He's a really nice guy. Look, he gave me an autograph.
LH: Whoa, get out of here! 李連杰還給你親筆簽名！你真幸運。

LL: Well, Li Hua, what are you going to do with your lottery winnings?
LH: 我要把大部分存起來(lái)， 不過(guò)我想請幾個(gè)朋友去聽(tīng)音樂(lè )會(huì )。你要不要去？
LL: Umm, well... I really appreciate the offer, but I'm kind of burnt out right now. I need to stay home and rest.
LH: 你說(shuō)你因為burnt out， 所以要在家里休息？什么是burnt out?
LL: I said that I am burnt out. To be burnt out means to become exhausted because of stress or too much activity.
LH: 噢， burnt out是指因為壓力太大， 活動(dòng)太多而疲憊不堪。 我看你就是活動(dòng)太多，放假以后你天天都去參加聚會(huì )，所以才累成這樣。
LL: That's right, during the school year I was burnt out from studying and working, and now that school is out, I'm burnt out from partying!
LH: 我知道你的意思。記得去年我本來(lái)要上四門(mén)課，同時(shí)還要當助教。沒(méi)到兩個(gè)星期，我就已經(jīng)累壞了。
LL: Good thing you dropped one of those classes. It's hard to be a good teacher when you are burnt out from studying yourself!
LH: 對，幸虧我放棄了一門(mén)課。 自己學(xué)習都應付不過(guò)來(lái)怎么才能當好老師呢！ Larry, 你不能跟我們去聽(tīng)音樂(lè )會(huì )， 真是可惜。 你知道還有誰(shuí)喜歡滾石樂(lè )隊嗎？
LL: The Rolling Stones? Get out of here! You have tickets to the Rolling Stones concert? OK, never mind what I said earlier, I'm going with you!
LH: 我就知道你再累也不會(huì )錯過(guò)滾石樂(lè )隊的。 不過(guò)，Larry，有的人說(shuō)滾石樂(lè )隊已經(jīng)演出了四十年，現在已經(jīng)太疲乏了- burnt out。
LL: I don't agree. I don't think they will ever burnt out.
今天李華學(xué)到了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)。一個(gè)是get out of here, 意思是難以相信，還有一個(gè)是burnt out，意思是累壞了，精疲力盡。
