Michael这个美国学生由于各方面的压力太大而情绪不太好。今天他想去找李华一起出去放松放松。现在他正在敲李华的门。Michael会教李华两个常用语：to play hooky和to snap。 8 _( C" H; x ?* Z % I f1 [1 A" Z: ZL：Michael，你在这儿干什么？你不是有课吗？$ L. [5 J0 F, s1 M! ?2 Z

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？0 I+ \# ~/ G2 V# h4 A3 b. B* f

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！ 2 o2 t# Z8 @, ^, ` ]& e4 L# X+ ` / K+ E0 t2 P8 o0 cM：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. I+ l+ G0 l/ @' O3 g3 c( S. M# T! Q4 o
L：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ , g6 d+ y: z8 u' I1 H; C7 d! f u3 v2 h9 u n
M：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way. - a- @# }9 r. W( l9 [ E; X$ F4 S" ^
L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 r3 @ D- w) x

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。。。 * S h; D& e2 p3 [2 U : O9 H) C9 C2 Y! |# QM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home. 5 Q* w) i0 h6 |+ j7 D7 K' x9 w& X% ~ [
L：对，他是说他妈妈骂他因为他打破了一个花瓶。可是，Michael，这里的snap是过去时，那该怎么拼呢？ * o! g. q8 D# j9 |5 b* | 6 c4 l# a6 I& O2 j uM：Past tense for snap is s-n-a-p-p-e-d.
