地道美語:get over it(音頻文字) ZT

Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麽說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是吳瓊要問的：小心眼。

Jessica: Wu Qiong, are you coming to my birthday party tomorrow?

WQ: En...I'm afraid not.

Jessica: Why not? You're my best friend!

WQ: 我不是不想去參加你的生日派對，可是你請了王貝貝，我可不想見她。

Jessica: Why? I thought you two were friends.

WQ: 你不知道，兩年前，我們去唱K。 她走調了，我心直口快說了出來，結果她記仇，這兩年沒少說我壞話！太小心眼了！ 小心眼在英文裏怎麽說？

Jessica: You can say a person is petty. petty is spelled p-e-t-t-y, petty. It means narrow-minded and mean.

WQ: 哦，petty 就是心胸狹窄，小心眼。You have no idea, Jessica, you don't know how petty she is. 她一定還在記仇, hold....hold....記仇是 hold 什麽來著？

Jessica: hold a grudge. grudge is spelled g-r-u-d-g-e. hold a grudge 記仇。but Wuqiong, I don't think Beibei still holds a grudge against you.

WQ: Hmm, I don't know. 她表麵上也和我過得去，but I think she still has a secret grudge against me! 她還在心裏暗暗記仇呢!

Jessica: Oh, come on! It's been two years! I'm sure she has gotten over it!

WQ: Get over it 就是“不再計較”的意思，對不對?

Jessica: Exactly. To get over it means to forget about it.

WQ: You know what, Jessica, you're right. 我決定明天去參加你的party! I want to show Beibei that I'm not a petty person and it's time for her to get over it, too.

Jessica: That's the spirit! Now let's see what you've learned today.

WQ: 第一：形容某人小心眼，用 petty;

第二：記仇則是hold a grudge against someone;

第三：不計較了，可以說 get over it;
