笔记：part 1
Dialogue
A从B（Karen）黝黑的皮肤上猜测她一定去晒太阳了。而A却在图书馆里渡过了周末。
A: Hey, Karen. Look like ⑴you got some sun this weekend.
B: (2)Yeah? I guess so. I spent the weekend at beach.
A: That's great. Where did you stay?
B: Some friends of my parents live out there, and they invited me there.
A: ⑶So, what did you do ⑷out there? I mean besides ⑸bask in the sun, obviously.
B: I ⑹jogged ⑺up and down the beach and played volleyball. You know I never realized how hard it is to run on sand. I couldn’t ⑻get through a whole game before I had to sit down.
A: Not to mention cooler. Did you go swimming?
B: I wanted to, but the water is too cold, and I just wetted in up to my knees.
A: It all sounds so relaxing. I wish I could get away to the beach like that.
B: It looks like you could use it. ⑼Don't tell me you spent the weekend in the library again.
⑴You got some sun：美国习语，意思是“你被太阳晒黑了”，美语的这种表达方式有点象汉语中的“老头晒太阳”。
⑵Yeah? ：声调往上挑，表示怀疑，相当于说“真的？”。
⑶So：重读，音调向下，表示后面还有话。
⑷out there：意思是“那儿”。这和语法是不一致的，但它却增加了口语中的明确范围感。在口语中，there前面还可以加in, around, up和down。
⑸bask in the sun：美国习语，意思是“晒太阳”，注意：介词是in，而不是under。因为宇宙中没有“下”，而“in”表达在阳光里的感觉。
⑹jog：意思是“慢跑”，与run的区别在
后者更加职业化，前者是随意性的。多
数美国人都是jogger。
⑺up and down the beach：这个词组不要翻成“在海滩上上下下地…”，而是“来来往往”的意思。
⑻get through：意思是“完成”。Through在口语中用的很多，本意是“从头到未来一遍”，在不同的场合可以翻成不同的意思，如：go through life翻成“经历生活”。
⑼Don't tell me：美语惯用法，意思相当于“I can't believe it”。
