A: 欢迎大家来到这期的美语训练班! 我是杨琳!
B: 我是Mike! 杨琳，赶快来告诉大家今天都要学什么?
A: 没问题! 今天，咱们要去看看美国人怎么给小费，跟移民律师聊聊怎么申请移民，还要告诉你怎么说“不同寻常”!
B: Tipping is definitely a western tradition. I remember when I had just come back from China, I always forgot to give a tip and people would give me dirty looks...
A: 哈哈哈!! 嗯，我也记得我刚到美国时也特别不习惯给小费呢! 不过这个咱们等会再说，现在，咱们还是赶快来进入第一个单元，Learn a word!
Learn A Word 1547 insane
今天我们要学的词是 insane. Insane is spelled i-n-s-a-n-e, insane. Insane 可以用来指疯狂的，精神不正常的。比如，A Texas judge found the JetBlue pilot insane and not guilty of interfering with a flight. 德克萨斯州的一位法官裁定，捷蓝航空公司的一个飞行员精神失常，所以他干扰正常飞行的罪名不成立。Insane 也可以用来形容某事过于荒谬，不同寻常。比如，He inherited an insane amount of money from a distant relative. 他从一个远房亲戚那里继承了一大笔钱。再比如，My boss puts in insane hours. He's a typical workaholic. 我老板工作没日没夜，他是个典型的工作狂。好的，今天我们学习的词是insane, insane, insane...
B: Ok, I have to say I like DC a lot, but summer here is kind of insane.
A: Are you talking about the humidity? If you are, I'm definitely with you...
B: Yes! How can the humidity be 80 or 90 percent every single day? It's so insanely humid that my usually awesome hair looks frizzy! Ehh...
A: Usually awesome hair? 请不要自作多情。(笑) 不过今天早晨我在地铁站听人说马上就要下大雨了，so I guess this heat wave is at the end of the line.
B: That would be great! I don't know how long I can take this! Actually, you just mentioned a very good term: the end of the line. Let's listen to today's words and idioms to see what it means!
