今天Larry和李华一起去参加哈利波特的电影首映会。Li Hua非常喜欢饰演哈利波特的丹尼尔.拉德克利夫，兴奋不已。Li Hua会学到两个常用语：glam和five o'clock shadow.

LH:今天能见到丹尼尔拉德克利夫耶! 我的白马王子!!

LL:WOW. Lihua, you must be really excited to meet Harry Potter in person.

LH:那当然，他简直是太帅了...

(The cast of Harry Potter walk out)

LL:Oh look, it's the cast! They sure lookglam!

LH:Glam是什么意思啊? 听起来好像glamorous.

LL:You're absolutely correct! Glam means glamorous. It describes someone wearing fashionable clothing and make-up, especially when done excessively.

LH:所以glam就是魅力四射的意思。那你又说尤其是用在过度打扮的人身上，这么说这个词有负面的意思喽?

LL:Not at all.Glam, like glamorous, is used to describe people who dress up in a way that they really stand out, but stand out in a good way. It is often used to describe celebrities.

LH:原来如此。Glam是用来形容打扮华丽的人，而不是过度打扮的人，所以形容明星最合适！那太好了，我一定要学起来，等会告诉丹尼尔。

LL:I'm sure Daniel Radcliffe will be very happy to hear it.

LH:Larry, you're such aglamtoday!

LL:Uh, thank you? Why are you saying it to me? I'm only wearing jeans and a t-shirt.

LH:我只是想练习一下！免得等会搞砸了。哎，我这么说对吗？

LL:Well, you said "you're such a glam today". Which means you used the word glam as a noun. However, it is an adjective, just like the original word, glamorous. So you would have to say, "you're so glam today".

LH:我明白了，glam是形容词，所以我刚应该说"you're so glam today"，而不是"you're such a glam today."

LL:Yup, that's right.

(The actors are slowly walking towards Larry and Li Hua's direction)

LH:会看，那不是哈利嘛！哈利！哈利！

LL:Hmmm...slow down Lihua. Are you sure that's Harry? I didn't know Harry has a five o'clock shadow.

LH:你在说什么呀！我说演哈利的丹尼尔来了，又没问你时间...而且现在才三点，别捣乱。

LL:No, I mean he has a beard. Afive o'clock shadowis facial stubble, it sometimes describes a man's beard at the end of the day.

LH:啊？原来five o'clock shadow是指胡子，就是男生一天下来，到下午五点就会长出来的一点点胡子, 所以人们就用five o'clock shadow来形容男生脸上的胡子茬子。

LL:Yes. That is correct. After a day's work, many men will have a noticeable growth of facial hair. Since most people finish work around five o'clock, it's called a five o'clock shadow.

LH:啊，Larry, you have a five o'clock shadow too! 你今天早上没有刮胡子吧?

LL:No I don't. Do I? (try to distract Lihua) Look! Harry's getting closer, don't you want to take pictures?

LH:唉呀！差点忘了。我的照相机...在...这！

(Li Hua zooms in to take a picture of Harry)

LH:他真有 a five o'clock shadow 耶... 不过还是好帅！

LL:Ai, Li Hua. I didn't know you were so attracted to glam celebrities.

LH:Not all theglamcelebrities. 只有哈利！

LL:But he has afive o'clock shadow. Didn't you say that you can't stand men who have a beard.

LH:你是说他今天留胡子，所以我不应该喜欢吗！可是，他连留胡子都这么好看！哈利，哈利！！啊不对，丹尼尔！我都紧张得语无伦次了。

LL:Hey, practice using what you just learned! And tell him how handsome he is.

LH:Harry! You have afive o'clock shadow!!

(People turn around to stare at Li Hua)

LH:等等, 我刚说了什么...

LL:Harry, she meant to say you are veryglam!

LH:哎, 真丢脸...

今天李华从Larry那儿学到两个常用语，一个是glam, 用来形容一个人魅力四射。另一个是,five o'clock shadow,指男人的胡子茬子。
