Helen: A heavy lecture 那么 heavy 的另一个非正式含义是难度高的意思 。Ive been to a few of them!
Neil: Me too. But Helen, the word heavy is also used in more a formal way to mean intense. Listen to these examples:
There was such a heavy fog I couldnt see where I was going.
The flooding was caused by days of heavy rain.

Helen: 刚才我们听到的 heavy 是比较正式的用法,意思是很强烈,很激烈。And what about a heavy drinker or a heavy smoker? What does that mean?
Neil: Heavy here means to indulge to a great extent.
Helen: Heavy 在这里的意思是太多了,过度了。一个人老是喝很多酒,那么就成了酒鬼了。Well, thats not me but there is one kind of heavy I do like to indulge in.
Neil: Whats that?
Helen: 重金属音乐!
(Turns on heavy metal music)
