LH: 你妹妹给你妈惹麻烦了。你说她上星期在学校连续两天played hooky? 那是一种游戏吗？为什么你妈妈会生气啊？
8_#CF%G.LX1YiT
,`6r:h4E8B-I:H6m LL: No, it''s not a game. To play hooky is to skip school or work when you have no excuse for doing so. &Hc
BZ6L$rc?3~3D

yqv-Uh+@ ? LH: 噢！play hooky就是逃学，旷课的意思。那很严重耶！我要是逃学，我妈妈一定会非常非常生气！ +NA$X f a*}1V

LL: Every kid plays hooky once in a while, but playing hooky as often as my little sister does is a serious problem. It''s affecting her grades.

LH: 你妈妈罚你妹妹两个月不准看电视，也不准和朋友出去玩，那是够厉害的。可是，Larry, 你刚才说"put her foot down"是什么意思？ .ZHp,p0zj5z

LL: To be "hard up" for something means that you don''t have enough of it.
u]D_`*_E2@ 7Dv2X&L2Z2P R
LH: Hard up for something就是什么东西不够，所以你那朋友hard up for cash, 就是钱不够啦！对不对？ -Plgl)rb

1WV.t9t^1HC

XO7l0Dv$^8R LH: Pick on someone就是欺负，招惹别人，或者老是批评别人的意思。那个小男孩不断拉他姐姐的头发，还说她丑，真是很让人讨厌。我小时候我哥哥也喜欢捉弄我。他总是踩我的脚，却说是我踩他！ .I t m8[kJ:d

x&V(e1ak LH: 我知道你一直很喜欢Bob的立体音响，可是又买不起全新的。现在他要卖给你，怪不得你那么兴奋。哎，可是你说Bob给了你first dibs, 那是什么意思？是不是说Bob第一个先卖给你？
"s:P5I"A)Wk5C:?V LrW!Az^U%i7WF^
LL: Something like that. To have first dibs on something is to have the opportunity to decide if you want it before anyone else.
SWt2] g d%?,ZU9^ ;U4C.vvUev(Z a
LH: 所以我真猜对了。First dibs就是有优先的机会来决定是不是要买。Bob让你优先决定是否要买他的音响设备，也就是给了你first dibs.
lB8H Q ^ 4um jH2l Gu%T lF*l!dd

1]zgJ7F LL: I like the sound of that. While we''re on the subject, "dibs" has another use, too. If I say I have dibs on the last piece of cake, then that means that I claim it for myself.
