夏天到了,酷暑难当,李华和Larry一起去游泳。今天我们要学两个常用语:few and far between和take the plunge。
LH: Larry, 这几天怎么这么热啊,每天都有快40度!
L: I know! I have my air conditioner turned all the way to full power, and my apartment still feels really hot.
LH: 华盛顿每年夏天都这么热。
L: Even though summers in Washington DC can be hot, summers that are this hot are few and far between.
LH: 你说这么热的夏天是few and far between? 这是什么意思?
L: Something that is few and far between is very rare.
LH: 哦,few and far between就是很少见的意思。你是说,虽然华盛顿的夏天比较热,但像今年这么热的还是很少见的。
L: Right! Here is another example. Hurricane Katrina caused a lot of terrible damage in Louisiana. Luckily, hurricanes that big are few and far between.
LH: 对,像卡特里娜那种威力的飓风也是很少见的。Larry, 你看天气预报了么?不知道什么时候会下雨,能凉快凉快?
L: Not any time soon. We can have a nice day having fun swimming. I've been so busy lately that my chances to relax have been few and far between.
