Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎么說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是方方要問的：及時行樂。
Jessica: Fangfang, how was your date last night? I heard he was quite a looker!
FF: 唉，怎么說呢……這男生長得是不錯，可是話不投機! 我說我愛游泳，他說小心被淹，我說我愛旅游，他說旅游就是花錢買罪受!
Jessica: Really? He's a Debbie downer!
FF: Debbie? 他不叫Debbie.
Jessica: No, Debbie downer refers to those who are so negative and always bring down the mood of other people.
FF: 我明白了，說一個人特消極，老說喪氣話打擊別人，就可以用Debbie downer. My date from last night was such a Debbie downer that I went home with a heavy heart!
Jessica: That was no fun! We shouldn't let a Debbie downer ruin our high spirits.
FF: 就是的! 我還是喜歡積極向上，陽光型的! 這種人用美語又怎么說呢？
Jessica: You can say he has a sunny personality.
FF: 嗯! I want to go out with a man who has a sunny personality. He can cheer me up when I'm moody.
Jessica: I used to date a guy like that! He is the most positive person I've ever known and he always seems so contend.
FF: 可以想像。對人生要求不多，只要及時行樂，這就是我的理想男友的標準! 那及時行樂又怎么說呢？
Jessica: We say "eat, drink and be merry."
FF: Eat, drink and be merry. 吃，喝，快快樂樂。Gosh! This is my motto in life!
Jessica: It is mine, too!
FF: 今天我們學了：陰沉喪氣的人是Debbie downer, 陽光向上的性格是sunny personality, 及時行樂則是to eat, drink and be merry。 |
