L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？ : v5 U& T" g& m ; P. o" K2 {6 \ AM：Yes, very good.

L：哟，哪儿来那么大的火气呀！我知道你不是经常逃学，你学习很努力，争取得到好分数，将来找一份好工作。你不用发那么大的脾气嘛！ ( Q1 ]! {* C+ T, k9 A - a4 M- T3 ]6 K& `9 ?: yM：I'm sorry, Li Hua. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that right now I'm so stressed. That's part of the reason why I didn't go to class today.: {5 D+ j7 i4 X, l

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 ( u* l; W: Q2 t6 \5 @! m% O$ H' f0 s
