Lesson 8 - HANG OUT / HARD-HEADED [流行美语]又和大家见面了。Michael今天和李华约好了去纽约中国城吃饭。李华刚刚到Michael的住处。他们在对话中会用到 hang out和hard headed这两个常用语。L:嗨,Michael, 走吧!M:I'm coming. Hey, come on in for a minute and sit down.
L:还要叫我进来坐会儿呀!不行,快走,我饿了,我要去吃中国饭。
M:I'm not ready yet. Just hang out for a minute.
L:嗨,你真是的,还有什么事非要现在干呐!你要我给你挂什么?一张画?M:No, no, no!! Just wait for a few minutes.
L:要我等几分钟,这跟挂东西有什么关系呀?
M:No, you don't understand. Hang out means to pass time while you're waiting.
L:噢,hang out是等一会儿的意思?M:Yes, but it can also mean to spend time with your friends. For example, you and I hang out a lot.
L:跟朋友一起玩也能说是hang out,对,我们是经常在一起活动。
M:Ok. So hang out while I go get ready.
L:还要我等呀!行,不过下次不管上那儿去,要是我让你等一会儿,你可别感到奇怪哟。M:Ha, ha. Ok, I 'm ready.
L:那就走吧!你喜欢中国城哪个饭馆呐?
M:Let's go to Good Fortune. Do you mind if some of my other friends hang out with us?
