日常口语对话“蛮横无理”法则

　　李华跟Larry要去友人家聚餐，俩人正在包饺子。他们日常口语对话中会用到两个常用语：keep your shirt on跟to walk all over someone。

　　LH: Larry!你那个饺子里放的馅儿太多了!断定得破! 本文来自：英语之家

　　Larry: Sorry, Lihua, I'm trying my best here. Look, I've already made half a dozen dumplings - see?

　　LH: 啊?都快半个小时了，你才包了六个饺子?

　　Larry: Keep your shirt on! You know I've never made Chinese dumplings before, Lihua。

　　LH: Larry, 你在说什么啊?keep my shirt on?我又没脱衣服! （日常口语对话第一个常用语）本文来自：英语之家

　　Larry: (Sigh) OK, let's both relax. What I mean is, try to be more patient. "Keep your shirt on" means "be patient."

　　LH: "Keep your shirt on"是“耐心点儿”的意思?那好吧，I will try to keep my shirt on。 本文来自：英语之家

　　Larry: And I'll try to work more quickly. (Pause) Here - is this how to close the dumpling?

　　LH: 天啊， Larry, 你这个饺子包得太争脸了!在包饺子的时候，You need to keep your shirt on, too - 你也得有点耐烦，缓缓包!

　　Larry: Why don't you help me? The work will go twice as fast - and you can show me how to properly make a Chinese dumpling。

　　LH: 好吧，听我说。包饺子最怕饺子皮按不紧，我有个笨办法，就是在皮的到处抹上一圈水，而后再按紧。你看，这样，饺子就不会张嘴”啦!

　　Larry: Hey, not so fast! How did you do that so quickly? Why can't I make dumplings like that?

　　LH: 熟能生巧啊，匆匆练习，keep your shirt on! 不过，今天没时间让你缓缓练了，咱们得快点包，聚餐快开始了!哎?刚才让你烧开水，水开了没有? 内容来自www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Larry: Keep your shirt on, Lihua! It should be boiling in a minute。

　　LH: Walk... over me? 什么意思? 内容来自www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Larry: I mean you need to stand up for yourself. To let someone walk all over you means that you are allowing someone to be very rude to you。 内容来自www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　LH: 哦，to walk all over someone就是对某人蛮横无理。（日常口语对话第二个习惯用语）

　　Larry: That's right, and you shouldn't let your friend walk all over you like that。

　　LH: 你说得对。不外，这个女生是我师姐，我应该尊重她。她说两句就说两句吧!

　　Larry: Respecting her and letting her walk all over you are two different things. For example, I definitely need to respect my boss when he tells me I did something wrong. However, if he made me stay late every night at work, that's walking all over me, and I don't have to accept that。

　　LH: 对，要是老板天天让你加班，就没有情理了，明显是在欺负人，你没必要照做。 内容来自www.yingyuzhijia.com

　　Larry: Exactly. Respect between two people should be mutual - regardless of how old they are。 本文来自：英语之家

　　LH: 你说得对!哎?水开了没有，咱们快点把饺子做好吧! 本文来自：英语之家

　　Larry: Let's take our time. I don't want to hurry just to make your rude friend happy。 本文来自：英语之家

　　LH: 她要是再打电话来催我，我一定会让她keep her shirt on - 耐心点!不过咱们也得加快速度，再包它二十个!

　　Larry: Keep your shirt on, Lihua! I'll go as fast as I can!

　　LH: Larry, 包完饺子你还得赶快去趟中国超市!

　　Larry: The store? For what?

　　LH: 买腊八蒜啊!吃饺子哪能不腊八蒜!另外，你最好再额外买点小菜，点心什么的……

　　Larry: I'm beginning to think you are walking all over me, too!
