Michael和李華都在紐約上大學(xué)，最近他們結(jié)束了期中考試，今天準(zhǔn)備坐火車去華盛頓參觀訪問?，F(xiàn)在Michael正在火車站等李華。L：嘿，Michael。這火車站好大，總算找到你了。M：The train is just about to leave. Good thing you got here in time. L：我當(dāng)然會(huì)準(zhǔn)時(shí)到，我什么時(shí)候遲到過？嗨，火車就要開啦？要多少時(shí)間才能到華盛頓吶？M：Only about four hours. I'm probably going to sleep the entire way. L：(train leaving station, announcer in background) 你想在火車上睡覺？ 不行，你睡覺我跟誰說話吶？M：Li Hua, you are full of energy. But I'm drained, I'm going to sleep. L：我是精力充沛?？赡阏f你是什么？ Drained? M：Yeah. Drained, it means exhausted. L：Drained就是累的意思。那drained這個(gè)詞還能用在其他什么場合呢？M：The word can be used two ways. To be physically drained and emotionally drained. For example, if a couple fight all the time, they would be emotionally tired, which you can also call drained. L：噢，drained可以指體力很累，也可以指一個(gè)人在情緒上壓力很大。要是一對(duì)夫婦老是吵架，那肯定情緒很不好。你是這個(gè)意思吧？ M：Yeah, you understand. You don't even seem drained after the mid-terms. L：考試倒沒讓我覺得累，可是，兩天前我跟我哥哥為了他的女朋友吵了一架。他那女朋友很任性，還老想管別人，真討厭。跟我哥哥吵完后，我真是感到很累。M：Yeah, you were emotionally drained. Well, if you don't want me to sleep on the train, we'd better go get more coffee. Let's go to the Cafe Car. L： 那好呀，走，去食品車廂買咖啡！
