Larry和李华在议论州长竞选的问题。 李华会学到两个常用语toast和wiggle room.
LL: If the Governor doesn't change his education policies, Li Hua, I think he is toast.
LH: 你说什么？ 如果州长不改动他的教导 政策，他就会怎么呐？Toast不是烤面包吗？我想那必定是一种比方， 不外，He is toast事实是什么意思呢？
LL: When I said "toast" I meant that he would be finished or done for. Basically, I think he will lose the election.
LH: 噢， He is toast就是他没有期看 了，完了。 Toast那个说法很生动。就像烤面包一样， 面包烤好了就会被弹出来， 政府官员落第就像面包被弹出来一样。
LL: That is exactly right.
LH: 我们仔纯州的那位州长政绩不错，期看 他能被选蝉联。 I hope he's not toast.
LL: Well, I'll agree with you that the Governor is very effective in many ways. But after he decided to raise taxes, most Americans were pretty dissatisfied. He's toast, I tell you.
LH: 我认为他不会落第。你不是也认为州念埋咐长在各方面都很有效率吗？增加税收也是为了改进 教导 呀。我倒觉得他的竞选敌手不可，他既不诚恳 ，也税收方面也没有什么好主意。
LL: I can see you and I aren't going to agree on this. Good friends shouldn't talk about politics. We don't want our friendship to be toast!
LH: Larry， 你说的没错，再谈政治我们两个非成为敌人不成。 我们换个话题吧。你比来似乎 很忙， 在忙什么呢？
LL: Well, since you asked, Li Hua, if I don't finish the budget report I am working on by Thursday, then I am toast!
LH: 什么？你要在木曜日以前完成预算陈述。今天已经礼拜三了。看来你是要完了。我如果你，今天无论若何不睡觉也要把陈述写出来。
LL: That is the best way to avoid being toast. Say, Li Hua, what about you？Don't you need to turn in a chapter from your dissertation to your advisor?
LH: 没错，琼斯传授说了我非得在月底以前把我论文的第一章交给他，否则就算我那学期不及格。那我就完了。Then I'm toast.
LL: You *will* be toast, Li Hua. You won'液蚂t be able to look for a job next year, and I know your parents will be very unhappy.
LH: 就是呀，书没念好，父母不兴奋 ，我就实的完了。I will be toast!
******
LL: Did you see the candidates' debate last night, Li Hua? The Governor really didn't leave himself any wiggle room on the tax issue.
LH: Wiggle room? Wiggle有摇动，摆动的意思。 Room是房间。你说州长在房间里说话的时候摇来摆往 ？
LL: No, I meant that on the issue of taxes he left himself very little room to shift his position later.
LH: 你是说他在争论 税收问题的时候没有给本身留下盘旋的余地。他都说了什么呢？
LL: He promised during the debate that if he was reelected he would not raise taxes.
LH: 他说被选后不会进步税收？他其实不该当做出那个。 假设 碰着 天然灾害 、战争 或是经济恶化，政府怎么能不进步税收呢？
LL: You are exactly right. I can see he didn't leave himself any wiggle room there. Say, Li Hua, how is your dissertation chapter coming?
LH: 我的博士论文写得怎么样了？哎，说起来很羞愧，我不断没有时间写。 时间表排得满满的，没有一点盘旋的余地。
LL: I know how that is, Li Hua. I am going to be working on my budget project right up until the last minute. I haven't left myself much wiggle room, either.
LH: 我看你是得赶紧写那预算陈述，要能在最初一分钟写出来就算你命运。 我那礼拜必然得写完论文第一章。下学期我想削减教书的时间，如许就会有多一点的时间来写论文了。
LL: While having some wiggle room in your schedule is a good thing, are you worried about losing some of your income?
LH: 是啊，少教些书是会让我有更多时间，不外我也担忧收进 就会削减。
LL: I'm not very good at sticking to a budget. I always like to have some wiggle room in my budget for extra expenses.
LH: 我晓得，规定本身一个月花几钱是很难遵守的，总有要额外买些工具的时候。所以我总给本身留一些余地，免得到时候没有没办法 。
LL: Yeah, I guess we can skip going out for ice cream for a while.
LH: 食 冰淇淋花得了几钱！We have a lot of wiggle room for ice cream.
