Please don't mention that. Jerry sold the car to someone else yesterday. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance. No, no, Li Hua. "To kick oneself" means to feel regret for missing an opportunity, or making a mistake that could have been avoided. Well, I told Jerry that I wanted to check out some other cars before I made a decision. Someone else bought the car before I had a chance to decide. I'm still kicking myself for waiting too long. Well, I guess you're right. When I bought the car I have now, I wasn't careful enough. Later, I found out the car was in very poor condition, and I have been kicking myself ever since. Hey, speaking of regret, I heard that your ex-boyfriend Ding Yu is doing really well these days. I bet you are kicking yourself for dumping him, huh? I know, when you're a some famous professor at a top U.S. university, Ding Yu will be kicking himself for not being nicer to you when you were together. Yes, I still want to replace my car. But I'm sort of afraid. The last time I bought a car, I got a really raw deal. That's right. A raw deal. A "raw deal" means in unfair deal, or to be treated roughly and unfairly by someone. That's right. The week after I bought the car, the engine broke down, and I had to completely replace it. The guy I bought it from refused to pay for it. No, not necessarily. For instance, my uncle George worked at a factory for over 20 years. Unfortunately, the factory was shut down and George lost his job right before he had a chance to retire. That, that was a raw deal. That's really a raw deal.
L: Michael, 你沒有買Jerry的車啊？我以為價錢很公道?。≡趺椿厥掳?？ M: Please don't mention that. Jerry sold the car to someone else yesterday. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance. L: Kicking yourself, kick不就是k-i-c-k，踢球的踢嗎？你為什么要踢你自己呢？ M: No, no, Li Hua. "To kick oneself" means to feel regret for missing an opportunity, or making a mistake that could have been avoided. L: 噢，to kick oneself不是真的踢自己，意思是：自己失去了一個好機(jī)會而埋怨自己太笨。Michael, 那到底是怎么回事??？ M: Well, I told Jerry that I wanted to check out some other cars before I made a decision. Someone else bought the car before I had a chance to decide. I'm still kicking myself for waiting too long. L: 原來你是想等看看別的車以后再做決定，結(jié)果Jerry就把車賣給別人了。哎喲，Michael, 你不用埋怨自己啦。不管做什么交易，作決定前仔細(xì)考慮清楚總是好的。 M: Well, I guess you're right. When I bought the car I have now, I wasn't careful enough. Later, I found out the car was in very poor condition, and I have been kicking myself ever since. L: 你看，我說得沒錯。你買現(xiàn)在這輛車的時候不小心，所以現(xiàn)在老要出問題。哎，Michael, 你呀，買得不好也怨自己，沒有買到也埋怨自己。你累不累呀！ M: Hey, speaking of regret, I heard that your ex-boyfriend Ding Yu is doing really well these days. I bet you are kicking yourself for dumping him, huh? L: 你在說我以前的男朋友丁余？告訴你，不管他現(xiàn)在多有錢我都不會因?yàn)楦质侄蠡凇?M: I know, when you're a famous professor at a top U.S. university, Ding Yu will be kicking himself for not being nicer to you when you were together. L: 我要是在美國當(dāng)了名教授，他再捶胸頓足地后悔也沒有用。 ****** L: Michael, 你沒有買Jerry的車，那你是不是還想找一輛舊車呢？ M: Yes, I still want to replace my car. But I'm sort of afraid. The last time I bought a car, I got a really raw deal. L: 你上回買車怎么啦？什么是raw deal？是不是不好的意思？ M: That's right. A raw deal. A "raw deal" means in unfair deal, or to be treated roughly and unfairly by someone. L: A raw deal就是吃了虧的交易。你的意思是，你上次買這輛車的時候，賣車的人讓你吃了大虧？ M: That's right. The week after I bought the car, the engine broke down, and I had to completely replace it. The guy I bought it from refused to pay for it. L: 車才買了一個星期就出問題。這實(shí)在是太倒霉了。這就是所謂的a raw deal。那么，Michael, raw deal是不是只能用在買賣方面的？ M: No, not necessarily. For instance, my Uncle George worked at a factory for over 20 years. Unfortunately, the factory was shut down and George lost his job right before he had a chance to retire. That,that was a raw deal. L: That's really a raw deal! 我聽到好幾個這樣的例子了。一個人在一個公司做了幾十年，還沒來得及退休公司就關(guān)門了。退休金全完了。我舅舅的工廠關(guān)門前，他工作了八個月，到現(xiàn)在還沒拿到工資呢！ M: That's really a raw deal.
