标题:美语三级跳 Go English:017C 宠物: 高级课程 听力内容: Tom和Mindy养的狗不听话,今天带它去看pet psychologist - 宠物心理医生。 Tom: Thank you so much for seeing us today, Doctor. Our dog is having some mental problems and needs a professional evaluation. Psychologist: Of course. I understand that you are very concerned about your dog's mental health. What's the problem? Tom: Well you see, he is always running around wild, tearing the furniture up and breaking things. Psychologist: Is that it? Tom: Well... he also doesn't listen when I give him commands, and he tries to eat the food off of the table. He is really wreaking havoc in our house. Psychologist: I see ... Professor Bowman, 你说Tom是不是有点小题大作了?他说的这些“症状”,比如乱跑,撕咬东西,吃桌上东西什么的,不是所有小狗都会做的么? Professor: Yeah. It probably needs a professional dog trainer more than it needs a pet psychologist. 对了,Tom说the dog is "wreaking havoc." 这是什么意思? Professor: To wreak havoc means to ruin or damage. For another example, I could say that the really powerful typhoon wreaked havoc on the coastal cities. 原来wreak havoc就是毁坏,造成很大破坏的意思。 |
