流行美語第70課
現在Michael和李華在準備下午的考試。李華會學到兩個常用語:to jinx和come off it。
L: Michael, 考試準備得怎麼樣了? 可別再像上次那樣考砸了!
M: Ahh! Li Hua, don"t say that! You"ll jinx me!
L: Jinx you? 聽不懂,什麼是jinx啊?
M: Jinx. Jinx can be used as a verb or a noun. One way to jinx someone is to say something unlucky, like you just said.
L: 噢,jinx這個詞可以作動詞,也可以作名詞。你剛才說:You"ll jinx me, 意思是你認為我說“這次你可別考砸了”,這句話不吉利,會讓你倒黴。哎喲,Michael, 你那麼迷信啊!
M: Well, some people believe in jinxes. For instance, a lot of people think that there is a jinx on the Chicago Cubs baseball team. It hasn"t won a World Series for 95 years.
