Professor: Winnie, in the next section, listen for the word "laid-back."
Jeff: You know, I'm a pretty laid-back person. I don't like to have lots of arguments or worry about lots of things. For example, I like to keep the apartment clean too, but if it gets a little dirty once in a while, that's not a big deal.
Steve: I totally agree. I really like my lifestyle to be drama-free, and I don't want to argue about cleaning the apartment. My last roommate was a drama queen. Every time I forgot to take my shoes off, she got really mad and made a big deal out of it.
Jeff: Yeah, I really don't want a lot of drama in the apartment. It's important that we don't get on each other's nerves.
Steve: That's right. We should try to be laid back and not do lots of things to bother one another.
Professor, Jeff说自己laid-back,就是性格随和吧?
Professor: That's right!
那Steve和Jeff说了好多什么drama、 "drama queen"的,这都是什么意思啊?
Professor: "Drama" is a short form of the word "dramatic." If someone is always taking small problems and acting as if they are a really big deal, you can say he "creates a lot of drama."
噢,drama是“是非”的意思,爱没事找事的家伙就是"drama queen"。
Professor: Exactly. If you lived with a drama queen, he or she would probably "get on your nerves," meaning "bother you a lot." Well, Winnie, in this next section, listen for the word "pet peeve," meaning "a small problem that really bothers you."
