第11课:不感兴趣的 - 7

迷你小对话1

A: I am completely tired of our English classes – the teacher does not seem to take them seriously.
B: I agree. He seems more interested in earning money than in teaching us how to speak the language better.

A: 我对英语课已经完全厌烦了——老师教得一点也不认真。
B: 我同意。他感兴趣的是挣钱,而不是怎么教我们把英语说好。

B: It’s all the same to me. Concerts really turn me off.
A: Yeah, I’m not so hot about them either. Let’s go get a pizza.

A: 你想去看演唱会吗?
B: 去不去都一样。音乐会让我倒胃口。
A: 好啊,我也对他们不怎么着迷。我们去买匹萨饼吧。

concert: 音乐会。
turn me off: 使(某人)厌烦(或沮丧),使失去兴趣(或热情),使不喜爱。
