LH: 啊, now you're cooking with gas是指我终于跟上了,了解你在说什么。是啊,我还是懂一点点的。不过now you're cooking with gas和了解一件事情怎么能扯得上关系呢?
LL: This comes with a little bit of history. In the 1930's cooking became more convenient as the kitchen evolved from the old coal/wood range into the wood/gas combination. So when we say 'now you're cooking with gas, it means you've crossed the barrier and progressed!
LH: 真有意思。原来是1930年代煮饭从依靠炭和木头进化成依靠天然气,生活方便了许多,所以说now you're cooking with gas就代表我进步了。
LL: Yes, that is correct. Wow you're really cooking with gas now! Learning so fast.
LH: 没错。我现在精神好多了。还是学习英文俚语比较有趣。
LL: But we have to keep going with Economics, or else we're both going to fail the exam tomorrow.
LH: 是啊。But if we keep talking about boring Economics, I'm going to zone out again!
LL: Hmm what should we do then...
LH: 要不这样!你先教我zone out和now you're cooking with gas的用法,让我变得有精神之后,我们再继续看经济学,怎么样?
LL: I guess that could work. Hmm...you seem to be able to use these two phrases already. Do you have any questions?
