<p>美国习惯用语-第212讲:<span word="Over">Over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="haul">haul</span></p><p>今天我们要给大家讲的两个习惯用语都是以<span word="long">long</span>这个字为主的。大家都知道，<span word="long">long</span>就是长；长短的长。我们先来给大家讲一个非常口语的，而且也是经常用的俗语。<span word="Over">Over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="haul">haul</span>. <span word="Haul">Haul</span>在这里是作为名词用的。它的意思是运输。可是，我们讲的俗语<span word="over">over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="haul">haul</span>跟运输毫无关系。<span word="Over">Over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="haul">haul</span>是指一段很长的时间。先请大家听一个例子。这个人说：</p><p>例句-1: <span word="Some">Some</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="always">always</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="cheapest">cheapest</span> <span word="things">things</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="can">can</span> <span word="find">find</span>. <span word="But">But</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="me">me</span>! <span word="I">I</span> <span word="buy">buy</span> <span word="good">good</span>, <span word="expensive">expensive</span> <span word="shoes">shoes</span>: <span word="they">they</span> <span word="save">save</span> <span word="me">me</span> <span word="money">money</span> <span word="over">over</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="haul">haul</span> <span word="because">because</span> <span word="they">they</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="twice">twice</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="long">long</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="cheap">cheap</span> <span word="pair">pair</span>.</p><p>这个人说：有的人总是想方设法找最便宜的东西买。我可不这么样。我总是买最好的、贵的鞋子。从长远来说，好的鞋还能省我的钱，因为这种鞋穿的时间要比便宜的鞋长一倍时间。</p><p>美国的物质供应丰富，因此选择也特别多。这既有好处，也有坏处。好处是花色品种和价格各有不同；个人可以按照自己的需要来采购。但是，由于选择太多，有的时候在买一样东西之前要花好多时间来研究，比较才能做最后决定。</p><p>******</p><p>有的年轻人到了某一个时刻不想念书了。这种情况大概很多人都经历过，或者是听说过。下面是一位爸爸在对自己的女儿说话。这个女儿决定中学毕业后不上大学了。</p>
