Jennifer: It says m supposed to be on a diet - dont make me any more delicious cakes ever again... Ah, I understand now. I dont think your friend is angry with you.

　　Jean: Really, why not?

　　Jennifer: Look at the text message. Do you see that she has written the letters L.O.L. - or LOL - at the end?

　　Jean: 对，没错!刚才我没看到这个词... L.O.L. LOL. 这是个单词吗?

　　Jennifer: Its a good example of English text speak, that is, language people use when texting, writing emails or talking over the internet. LOL stands for laughing out loud.

　　Jean: Laughing out loud? 就是哈哈大笑?

　　Jennifer: Yes, its used instead of the sound of laughter. It is usually used to show that something is a joke, or that a comment is meant to be funny.

　　Jean: 又学到了一个当代英语新词汇 L.O.L. 就是 laughing out loud 的字母缩写表示哈哈大笑的意思，最常用在网上、邮件和短信里。其实这和我们中文网上和短信语言里大家经常用的呵呵挺像的。

　　Jennifer: Exactly - so your friend was joking when she said dont make me any more delicious cakes!

　　Jean: Thats a relief. So I can write LOL on the end of a message, to let people know that Im joking, or laughing, about something?

　　Jennifer: Thats right.
