Learn A Word #1359 hack
今天我们要学的词是hack. Hack is spelled h-a-c-k, hack. Hack 意思是非法侵入，常用在网络中。美国联邦调查局逮捕了一名35岁男子。The man allegedly hacked into the personal email accounts of 50 victims, including many celebrities. 这名男子涉嫌非法侵入50个私人邮箱，受害者包括很多名人在内。索尼旗下的在线游戏和娱乐网络再次遭受黑客袭击。About 93,000 accounts were hacked. 大约9万3千个帐户被黑客非法侵入。黑莓手机服务中断，生产厂家RIM公司表示: No evidence shows that the company's network has been hacked. 没有证据显示公司网络遭受了黑客的袭击。好的，今天我们学习的词是hack，hack，hack.
A:今天我还接到一个朋友的email, 里面除了一个奇怪的广告以外什么都没有, I think her email account must have been hacked!
B:That's usually the case. You should let her know right away.
A:You're right. I'll call her.
B:杨琳，你不是说吃早茶么？什么时候啊？

各位听众，现在播送《流行美语》。 Larry 想和李华，还有她那些中国朋友多在一起玩儿，了解更多的中国文化。他们会用到两个说法: once in a blue moon 和pull one's leg.
Larry:Hey, Lihua, there you are. I haven't seen you all day. What have you been up to?
LH:我刚才跟几个中国同学出去喝珍珠奶茶啦，就是bubble tea！
Larry:Bubble tea, huh? What is that?
LH:啊？你从没听说过珍珠奶茶？我简直不能相信！
Larry:Haha, is it that surprising? Actually, sometimes I wish I could tag along with you guys. You know, so I could learn more about the Chinese culture.
LH:真的吗？Larry，我还以为你对尝试新事物没什么兴趣呢。
Larry:Aw... come on, Lihua. Even I'll admit that it's fun to try new things once in a blue moon.
LH:啊？你说什么moon?
Larry:In a blue moon. "Once in a blue moon" means once in a long while or on a rare occasion.
LH:我明白了，"Once in a blue moon" 就是不经常，很久发生一次，对吗？
Larry:Yes. I don't think I'd enjoy being confronted with new things all the time, but every once in a blue moon it can be fun.
LH:你是说，你不喜欢成天被新事物包围，但是好久来那么一下子，偶尔接触点新鲜的东西，还是不错的。这样吧 Larry，下次我们再去喝bubble tea 的时候，我一定叫上你。
Larry:Sounds great! How often do you go get bubble tea anyway?
LH:其实我们也很少去。We only go once in a blue moon.
Larry:Hmm, well, if you only get bubble tea once in a blue moon, what are you always doing with your Chinese friends? I never know what you guys are up to.
LH:其实我们主要也就是吃吃喝喝啦。这个周末我们要去吃粤式点心。Have you ever heard of 点心, dim sum?
Larry:Dim sum...hmm. Sounds exotic. What's that?
LH:就是很多好吃的广东小吃！有锅贴，萝卜糕，耗油芥蓝……有时候，once in a blue moon, 我们还会点凤爪—chicken feet!
Larry:Chicken feet? Yuck! Who would eat that? Lihua, are you pulling my leg?
LH:什么？Pulling your leg? 拉你的腿？
Larry:No, I mean are you playing a joke on me?
LH:哦，“pull your leg”就是开玩笑唬你的意思。可我没有瞎说啊，凤爪，也就是鸡脚，可是非常好吃哦！
Larry:Oh my goodness! Well, if they're so delicious, how come you say you only eat them once in a blue moon?
LH:主要是因为凤爪吃着麻烦，好多小骨头，而且比较油腻，我怕长胖嘛！
Larry:OK, now I know you're pulling my leg!
LH:我没有唬你啊。Larry，我们中国人吃的东西有时是比较奇怪，但真的很好吃。
Larry:Gross!
LH:切！不喜欢算了，下次去吃好吃的不叫你。
Larry:Come on, there's got to be something Chinese I can do with you guys.
LH:Hmm 我想一想啊，我知道了！你喜欢唱K么？KTV?
Larry:KTV? You mean karaoke? I don't know, Lihua. I don't really like
singing...
LH:Are you pulling my leg, Larry? 上次我明明听见你带着耳机在唱 Lady Gaga 的歌！
Larry:That's different! I'm too shy to sing in front of other people...I don't even know your friends that well.
LH:哎呀没事！Larry，你唱歌挺好听的！
Larry:Me? Sing well? Ha. Now I know you're pulling my leg.
LH:I'm not pulling your leg! 我说真的！你怎么老觉得我在糊弄你？
Larry:OK, OK, no need to get upset. You're right. I do like to sing once in a blue moon, but I don't know if I could do it in front of other people...
LH:Larry, 不是你要了解中国文化嘛？还这么多事儿。
Larry:I've got an idea. Let me start with that bubble tea stuff. I've had tea before. How weird can it be? I know you guys only go get bubble tea once in a blue moon, but I can wait. Why do they call it bubble tea anyway?
LH:叫珍珠奶茶是因为茶里有很多很有嚼劲的小圆子！看起来像珍珠一样！
Larry:Really? And what are the black bubbles made of?
LH:嗯...是用鸡脚做的！
Larry:Wow.
LH:哈！Larry, this time I was pulling your leg. 这回我是逗你的啦！
Larry:Oh! Come on, Lihua...
