　　Larry在準備搬家，李華特別去Larry家幫他收拾裝箱。今天李華會學到兩個常用語: to toss something和digs.

　　LL: Hey, Li Hua, what do you think of this sweater? It''s got several holes. Should I toss it?

　　LH: 你要把這件毛衣扔給我裝箱？你自己說有好幾個洞了，還留它干嘛？扔了算啦！

　　LL: That''s what I meant. I didn''t mean to toss the sweater to you. I mean to throw it out. To toss something means to throw something out.

　　LH: 噢，原來to toss it就是把東西扔了的意思。這件毛衣真的該丟了。其實還有一些衣服你也該丟掉了。

　　LL: Hey, I didn''t ask your opinion of my wardrobe. I just wanted to know if I should toss that one particular sweater.

　　LH: 哎！我也只是幫你忙啊。如果你不要我幫忙，那就算嘍！我才不管你衣柜里哪些衣服該丟，哪些不該丟呢！

　　LL: Okay, since you''re so eager to help: Should I toss this pair of shoes, too? They''re really old and gross.

　　LH: 這還要問啊？你這雙鞋又舊又臟的，當然該丟掉嘍！還有你那件黃的T恤衫也可以扔了。

　　LL: No, I''m going to use that as a rag for cleaning my new apartment. I hate to toss something that I can still find a use for.

　　LH: 你想拿那件破衣服來當抹布，廢物利用，這倒是不錯。Hey，Larry, 冰箱里的這些蘋果都爛了，可以扔掉了嗎？

　　LL: Yes, I''m afraid that there is quite a bit in the refrigerator that needs to be tossed. I buy things and then I''m never home to eat them.

　　LH: 我也是，經常買了東西不吃，最后又扔掉。也許下回該買些冷凍食品，不然，讓食物爛了又扔掉，好浪費喲！

　　LL: You''re right. It''s really terrible to toss out food.

　　LH: 好吧！我先幫你清一清冰箱里的東西，我可以把爛掉的食品全都扔掉嗎？Can I toss them out?

　　LL: You can toss out whatever you think needs to be tossed.

　　******

　　LL: Well, how do you like my new digs?

　　LH: Digs? Dig 不是“挖”的意思。你在說什么啊？這是你的新公寓耶！

　　LL: My new "digs" is my new apartment, Li Hua. "Digs" is slang for one''s place of residence.

　　LH: 嗨，dig不是挖土，挖洞的挖嗎！你用的是名詞，還是多數。Digs，所以，這就是指一個人住的地方。

　　LL：That''s right. My new digs is a bit empty now, but once I move my stuff in, this should be a nice apartment.

　　LH：嗯，現在看起來是有點空空蕩蕩。可是我擔心你東西搬進來以后就會亂了。

　　LL: Hey, I''m not that messy! I like to keep my digs nice.

　　LH: 對，你不算太亂，但是也不見得是那種非常整潔干凈的人。

　　LL: Okay, you''re entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to disagree with you. I happen to be very proud of the way I maintain my digs.

　　LH: 我當然可以保留我的意見咯！你也完全可以不同意我的'看法。其實，你的家只要你自己滿意就行了。說正經的，Larry你要不要我幫你布置新家，your new digs？

　　LL: Let''s just take care of moving first. Once all of my stuff is here, we can talk about decorating.

　　LH: 那也是，還是先搬完了再說，再不趕快搬，今晚你恐怕得在舊公寓里睡覺嘍！

　　今天李華學到兩個常用語。第一個是to toss something, 就是把東西扔掉的意思。另一個常用語是digs。這是指一個人的居住的地方。
