李华和Larry一起去买自行车。今天我们要学两个常用语：To keep an eye out for something和push one's luck. LH: Larry，等你买了自行车，你就可以天天骑车上班，又锻练身体又省汽油钱。 L: Yeah, I think biking will be a lot of fun. And when it rains or snows, I'll have the perfect excuse to take the day off from work. LH: 这个嘛……我可没说让你以这个为理由偷懒不上班! L: Well, Li Hua, you know I'm always keeping an eye out for a reason not to go to work. LH: Keeping an eye out? 什么意思? L: When you are looking for or expecting something, you can say that you are keeping an eye out for it. LH: 哦，就是特别留意的意思。你是说，你总是特别想找些理由，好不去上班。 L: That's right! LH: 以后我当了老板，肯定不雇你这种员工!你再举个例子，行吗? L: Sure. When you're riding your bike on the road, it's important to keep an eye out for cars. LH: 对，骑车的时候要特别留意周围的交通状况，小心汽车。哎，说到安全，你应该买个骑车时戴的头盔。 L: Of course. When we get to the store, I'll keep an eye out for other things I might need too, like a bell and a light. |
