　　Larry在准备搬家，李华特别去Larry家帮他收拾装箱。今天李华会学到两个常用语: to toss something和digs.

　　LL: Hey, Li Hua, what do you think of this sweater? It''s got several holes. Should I toss it?

　　LH: 你要把这件毛衣扔给我装箱？你自己说有好几个洞了，还留它干嘛？扔了算啦！

　　LL: That''s what I meant. I didn''t mean to toss the sweater to you. I mean to throw it out. To toss something means to throw something out.

　　LH: 噢，原来to toss it就是把东西扔了的意思。这件毛衣真的该丢了。其实还有一些衣服你也该丢掉了。

　　LL: Hey, I didn''t ask your opinion of my wardrobe. I just wanted to know if I should toss that one particular sweater.

　　LH: 哎！我也只是帮你忙啊。如果你不要我帮忙，那就算喽！我才不管你衣柜里哪些衣服该丢，哪些不该丢呢！

　　LL: Okay, since you''re so eager to help: Should I toss this pair of shoes, too? They''re really old and gross.

　　LH: 这还要问啊？你这双鞋又旧又脏的，当然该丢掉喽！还有你那件黄的T恤衫也可以扔了。

　　LL: No, I''m going to use that as a rag for cleaning my new apartment. I hate to toss something that I can still find a use for.

　　LH: 你想拿那件破衣服来当抹布，废物利用，这倒是不错。Hey，Larry, 冰箱里的这些苹果都烂了，可以扔掉了吗？

　　LL: Yes, I''m afraid that there is quite a bit in the refrigerator that needs to be tossed. I buy things and then I''m never home to eat them.

　　LH: 我也是，经常买了东西不吃，最后又扔掉。也许下回该买些冷冻食品，不然，让食物烂了又扔掉，好浪费哟！

　　LL: You''re right. It''s really terrible to toss out food.

　　LH: 好吧！我先帮你清一清冰箱里的东西，我可以把烂掉的食品全都扔掉吗？Can I toss them out?

　　LL: You can toss out whatever you think needs to be tossed.

　　******

　　LL: Well, how do you like my new digs?

　　LH: Digs? Dig 不是“挖”的意思。你在说什么啊？这是你的新公寓耶！

　　LL: My new "digs" is my new apartment, Li Hua. "Digs" is slang for one''s place of residence.

　　LH: 嗨，dig不是挖土，挖洞的挖吗！你用的是名词，还是多数。Digs，所以，这就是指一个人住的地方。

　　LL：That''s right. My new digs is a bit empty now, but once I move my stuff in, this should be a nice apartment.

　　LH：嗯，现在看起来是有点空空荡荡。可是我担心你东西搬进来以后就会乱了。

　　LL: Hey, I''m not that messy! I like to keep my digs nice.

　　LH: 对，你不算太乱，但是也不见得是那种非常整洁干净的人。

　　LL: Okay, you''re entitled to your opinion, but I am also entitled to disagree with you. I happen to be very proud of the way I maintain my digs.

　　LH: 我当然可以保留我的意见咯！你也完全可以不同意我的'看法。其实，你的家只要你自己满意就行了。说正经的，Larry你要不要我帮你布置新家，your new digs？

　　LL: Let''s just take care of moving first. Once all of my stuff is here, we can talk about decorating.

　　LH: 那也是，还是先搬完了再说，再不赶快搬，今晚你恐怕得在旧公寓里睡觉喽！

　　今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是to toss something, 就是把东西扔掉的意思。另一个常用语是digs。这是指一个人的居住的地方。
