答案

下载音频今天Larry和李华要到体育馆去和几个朋友打篮球.李华会学到两个常用语：stick to something和give something a shot.
(Ambience sound in gym)
LL:You’ll get better.You’ve only been playing basketball for a few weeks.You have to stick to something if you want to become good at it.
LL:To stick to something means that you continue to do it and don’t give up.
LH:噢!我懂了,stick to something就是坚持不懈,继续做某件事.那不就像我们中文里说的持之以恒嘛!你的意思是,要是我想打好篮球,就得不断地练习咯!
LL:Well,a person can stick to a decision,too.If I decide to learn Chinese,and I stick to my decision,that means I don’t change my mind or give up.
LH:噢,如果一个人坚持自己的决定,也可以说stick to one’s decision.那一个立场不坚定,经常flip-flop的人可就不能这么说咯!
LL:That’s right.Very good use of the term flip-flop,by the way.
LH:好吧,我来试试看,也许就象你说的,多练习,我就能打好球!******(Sound of dribbling basketball)
LH:Larry,那个篮球架子太远了,我肯定投不进!
LL:Come on,Li Hua,give it a shot.It’s okay if you miss.
LL:To give something a shot is to go ahead and try something,even if you don’t expect to be successful.
LH:嗨,我还以为give it a shot是开枪呢!原来,give it a shot就是试一试,不管会不会成功.好吧.那我就投喽!可是我一定投不进啦!
(Sound of basketball into the basket)
LL:Hey,look,you made it!That’s three more points for our team!See,it never hurts to give something a shot.
LL:Just about anything.For instance,I’d like to give sailing a shot,even though I’ve never sailed a boat before in my life.
LH:你想学开船啊!我倒想试试开飞机呢!
LL:Hey,slow down.We all know what your driving is like.I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to fly a plane.
LL:Maybe if you stick to driving for a while and get better at it,then you can give flying a shot.
LH:哎呀,其实我也是说说而已啦.我根本就没钱去上飞行课.不过如果有机会,我会去试试的!
今天李华学到两个常用语.一个是stick to something.就是坚持不懈,继续做某件事.
