M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades? If I don't do well, I won't get a good job later on. 1 c3 f" s( c e% h; R/ _" {8 N+ K, y8 g5 l* `7 y
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！ . [. `- a3 o( T# S, i - t; |* M' A1 o$ N! L7 PM：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# q% _% @' _7 o- V9 j B5 A: J* S% z# m) P; 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？ 3 p: c/ ]4 L# f( e9 V! P, ]: x 1 c3 z: s/ L2 O' OM：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way.$ X g( T- K! o7 D
7 v" y8 c( G* Z: Z' ^9 Z. lL：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。% s t. z/ K7 \8 W1 ~* t9 K# S

9 n) z2 c% Y3 p2 w; aL：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。。。 # N2 j$ E4 b7 D7 | 3 q1 p- k+ t7 N; o9 s: _5 F D. QM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home., Q2 ~1 [5 \8 [* q2 `
