欢迎大家来到奥运英语，我就废话少说了，还看看今天和大家一起学什么

  Flying man in Germany

今天我们讨论运动飞人刘翔在室内竞赛中的表现

Lily and Gabe:  Go,Xiang!Send a breeze through Germany

David:  Quiet down,will ya?What are you guys screaming about?

Gabe:  We're cheering for Liu Xiang. He's making his 2007 debut in Germany.

David:  But word has it that Liu caught a cold before he took off from china

Gabe: A cold?Do you think that'll slow down our flying man? Didn't you hear what he said ? He said all day long constant training numbed him,the German trip would bring him some fresh air.See? I'd say he's a tiger loosed from his cage!

David: Oooh! Look at me:I'm shaking all over.But seriously,don't you remember his poor showing at recent indoor competitions? In 2005,he was sent off because of a false start; in 2006 he skipped all indoor events because he was injured.

Gabe: He doesn't give a damn about an indoor competition championship

David: Then what are you getting so worked up for? You two have just been brainwashed by his bold words

Gabe: Being bold is one of the essential ingredients of a great athlete.

接下来看下今天对话里要学的东西吧


NO 1
Quiet down,will ya:小声点,行吗?

这是比较口语化的说法

我们还有另一个表达方式:Quiet yourself ! 这个同样是表达安静的意思，也是口语化的


NO 2
word has it that:传闻说，据说,来看个例句:

Word has it that the old teaching building will be torn down this winter

据说这老教学楼这个冬天就会被拆掉的

还有另一个类似的表达，是表示传谣说:rumour has it that...

我们也来看个例句:

Rumour has it that she was murdered by the President

传谣说她是被总统谋杀的


NO 3
send off :罚出场外

这是在体育中用的术语,来看个例句:

Beckham was sent off for a foul in the second half

贝克汉姆在下半场因犯规而被罚出场外


NO 4
get wored up for :为了某事而激动不已

word sb up 就是使某人激动不已的意思,但也有使发怒的意思,来看两个例句:

I can't get worked up about cars

我对汽车可提不起兴趣

Don't work yourself up into a state about it.it isn't worth it

别为了这事大动肝火的，这一点都不值得


doesn't give a damn about:对什么不屑一顾.这个表达方式我们在前几期节目里就讲到了，这里顺带提一下,帮大家回忆一下


好了,今天的内容就到这里,希望大家都能有收获
