标题：美语三级跳 Go English：011B 带孩子: 中级课程 听力内容： Hannah晚上要和老公出去看电影，所以雇了临时保姆Elliot来家里照顾女儿Amber。 Professor: During the last episode at the playground Amber hit another child and stole the ball he was playing with. She sounds like a troublemaker, doesn't she? 可不是嘛! 看来Elliot今晚有得忙了! Hannah: Hi there, Elliot. Thanks for being on time. We're just about to leave for the movie. Elliot: Hi Hannah. You know, I love kids. I think I will have a lot of fun with Amber. Hannah: That's great, but I should warn you: Amber can be a handful. Elliot: Don't worry, I'm a very patient person. Even if Amber misbehaves I'm sure she won't get on my nerves. Professor, Hannah提醒Elliot, 说 "Amber is a handful," 这是什么意思呢？ Professor: You can say someone is "a handful" if he or she gives you lots of trouble. For example, "Paul's girlfriend is really a handful. He has to call her 10 times per day or she complains he doesn't care about her." 原来，a handful就是那些非常难伺候，总惹麻烦的家伙。不过，Elliot说，自己很有耐心，即Amber不听话，也不会get on his nerves - 惹他生气。 Hannah: First, let me give you some basic rules. Amber has to finish all her dinner. If she doesn't, she can't watch TV. |
