L：你可真能出馊主意！自己逃学还不算，还要我装病不去工作。不行，我工作的地方星期一总是很忙的，而且上星期我真的生病，请了两天假。I don't want to play hooky from work. 我说得对不对，Michael？) n* M2 s3 V9 U1 s5 _

L：Michael, 你很幸运，没有象我那么多的压力。我得自己赚钱付学费，还要养活自己。你可以随便play hooky, 我可不行。 - y2 g/ y- ~# F, U' Y! u; d; U4 D6 F) s) i$ @; v" L9 d1 F
M：Hey, I may play hooky once in a while, but I usually study hard. Do you think I don't feel any pressure to get good grades? If I don't do well, I won't get a good job later on.0 ^0 h+ {) f8 I

L：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ / i+ k7 R( Z2 g/ c9 X9 ?5 A+ I# j+ @# e7 h" @
M：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way.7 \2 e0 o$ `: q4 U: |
' w5 X7 g `( z
L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。/ S: n/ v. {# o/ u

L：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 8 a1 g( h5 K5 U M7 N ' k& m4 Q- n% r1 j$ qM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home. " R5 L* t/ h& C4 h2 p. ~ $ ?; F" E, q( ^L：对，他是说他妈妈骂他因为他打破了一个花瓶。可是，Michael，这里的snap是过去时，那该怎么拼呢？( `7 I$ t U6 `6 F1 H
