今天Larry和李華一起去參加哈利波特的電影首映會(huì)。Li Hua非常喜歡飾演哈利波特的丹尼爾.拉德克利夫，興奮不已。Li Hua會(huì)學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：glam和five o'clock shadow.

LH: 今天能見(jiàn)到丹尼爾拉德克利夫耶! 我的白馬王子!!

LL: WOW. Lihua, you must be really excited to meet Harry Potter in person.

LH: 那當(dāng)然，他簡(jiǎn)直是太帥了...

(The cast of Harry Potter walk out)

LL: Oh look, it's the cast! They sure look glam!

LH: Glam是什么意思啊? 聽(tīng)起來(lái)好像glamorous.

LL: You're absolutely correct! Glam means glamorous. It describes someone wearing fashionable clothing and make-up, especially when done excessively.

LH: 所以glam就是魅力四射的意思。那你又說(shuō)尤其是用在過(guò)度打扮的人身上，這么說(shuō)這個(gè)詞有負(fù)面的意思嘍?

LL: Not at all. Glam, like glamorous, is used to describe people who dress up in a way that they really stand out, but stand out in a good way. It is often used to describe celebrities.

LH: 原來(lái)如此。Glam是用來(lái)形容打扮華麗的人，而不是過(guò)度打扮的人，所以形容明星最合適！那太好了，我一定要學(xué)起來(lái)，等會(huì)告訴丹尼爾。

LL: I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe will be very happy to hear it.

LH: Larry, you're such a glam today!

LL: Uh, thank you? Why are you saying it to me? I'm only wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

LH: 我只是想練習(xí)一下！免得等會(huì)搞砸了。哎，我這么說(shuō)對(duì)嗎？

LL: Well, you said "you're such a glam today". Which means you used the word glam as a noun. However, it is an adjective, just like the original word, glamorous. So you would have to say, "you're so glam today".

LH: 我明白了，glam是形容詞，所以我剛應(yīng)該說(shuō)"you're so glam today"，而不是"you're such a glam today."

LL: Yup, that's right.

(The actors are slowly walking towards Larry and Li Hua's direction)

LH: 會(huì)看，那不是哈利嘛！哈利！哈利！

LL: Hmmm...slow down Lihua. Are you sure that's Harry? I didn't know Harry has a five o'clock shadow.

LH: 你在說(shuō)什么呀！我說(shuō)演哈利的丹尼爾來(lái)了，又沒(méi)問(wèn)你時(shí)間...而且現(xiàn)在才三點(diǎn)，別搗亂。

LL: No, I mean he has a beard. A five o'clock shadow is facial stubble, it sometimes describes a man's beard at the end of the day.

LH: ??？原來(lái)five o'clock shadow是指胡子，就是男生一天下來(lái)，到下午五點(diǎn)就會(huì)長(zhǎng)出來(lái)的一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)胡子, 所以人們就用five o'clock shadow來(lái)形容男生臉上的胡子茬子。

LL: Yes. That is correct. After a day's work, many men will have a noticeable growth of facial hair. Since most people finish work around five o'clock, it's called a five o'clock shadow.

LH: 啊，Larry, you have a five o'clock shadow too! 你今天早上沒(méi)有刮胡子吧?

LL: No I don't. Do I? (try to distract Lihua) Look! Harry's getting closer, don't you want to take pictures?

LH: 唉呀！差點(diǎn)忘了。我的照相機(jī)...在...這！

(Li Hua zooms in to take a picture of Harry)

LH: 他真有 a five o'clock shadow 耶... 不過(guò)還是好帥！

LL: Ai, Li Hua. I didn't know you were so attracted to glam celebrities.

LH: Not all the glam celebrities. 只有哈利！

LL: But he has a five o'clock shadow. Didn't you say that you can't stand men who have a beard.

LH: 你是說(shuō)他今天留胡子，所以我不應(yīng)該喜歡嗎！可是，他連留胡子都這么好看！哈利，哈利！！啊不對(duì)，丹尼爾！我都緊張得語(yǔ)無(wú)倫次了。

LL: Hey, practice using what you just learned! And tell him how handsome he is.

LH: Harry! You have a five o'clock shadow!!

(People turn around to stare at Li Hua)

LH: 等等, 我剛說(shuō)了什么...

LL: Harry, she meant to say you are very glam!

LH: 哎, 真丟臉...

今天李華從Larry那兒學(xué)到兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是glam, 用來(lái)形容一個(gè)人魅力四射。另一個(gè)是,five o'clock shadow, 指男人的胡子茬子。
