LL: Freaky means scary or really weird. That bug was definitely freaky.

LH: 噢，freaky是形容很可怕或者很怪。一点都没错，那只大蟑螂真的是既恶心又可怕。我最怕蟑螂，尤其是这么大的！

LL: What do you think of spiders?

LH: 蜘蛛？我觉得蜘蛛比蟑螂更可怕！

LL: Yeah, I don't like spiders very much either. My friend has a pet tarantula, which is a really big hairy spider, and it is the freakiest thing I've ever seen.

LH: 我真搞不懂，像你朋友那样的人怎么会养蜘蛛当宠物，毛茸茸的蜘蛛想起来就让人头皮发麻，怎么还能当宠物，真是freaky耶！

LL: Pet tarantulas are actually pretty common. You can buy them in any pet shop.

LH: 嗨，我才不管这种蜘蛛宠物是不是很常见。我还是觉得养蜘蛛当宠物真是很怪，很可怕的，very freaky！

LL: There's a horror movie about giant spiders that is so freaky that I can't even bear to watch it.

LH: 噢，你是说那部有大蜘蛛的电影？嗯，我还记得看过他们的广告。别说去看了，我连想都没想过。如果我真的去看了那电影，大概会做一个月的恶梦。

LL: Yeah, I only watched a few minutes of it before I decided that it was too freaky for me.

LH: 瞧，连你这个大男生都不敢看，那电影一定很freaky。对了，Larry，除了蟑螂、蜘蛛，你觉得蛇是不是也很freaky？

LL: Actually, snakes don't bother me that much. Rats don't bother me very much, either.

LH: 啊，你不怕蛇，也不怕老鼠。好怪噢！我啊，我觉得蛇跟老鼠就像蜘蛛一样恐怖！

******

LL: Hey, Li Hua, would you wig out and refuse to come to my apartment if I got a pet rat?

LH: 你想在家里养老鼠当宠物，还问我会不会wig out，那是什么意思啊？

LL: To wig out means the same as to freak out. It means to get very excited or upset.

LH: 噢，wig out跟freak out意思一样，就是让人激动，或者把人吓坏了。哎，Larry，你是真的想养一只老鼠当宠物啊？

LL: They actually make good pets and they are relatively easy to care for.

LH: 你觉得养老鼠当宠物比较简单，那你就去养，我管不着，不过，我可能再也不敢去你家了。

LL: That's what I was afraid of. I wouldn't mind having a pet rat, but I don't want to make all of my friends wig out, either.

LH: 嗯，听你这么一说，我倒强烈建议你别养老鼠。我想很多人，特别是女孩子，大概会被你的宠物吓跑。这样你想交女朋友的希望就更加渺茫喽！

LL: I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, I don't want to meet a nice girl then cause her to wig out when she finds out that I have a pet rat.

LH: 就是啊，为了一只老鼠，吓跑了女朋友，那就不上算了。不过话说回来，Larry，你要是真的很想养宠物，就别太在意别人的想法嘛！

LL: I know, but I don't want people wigging out every time they come to my apartment.

LH: 你又想养宠物，又怕朋友被吓跑。对了，或许你可以考虑养鱼啊，一般人不会怕鱼，有的鱼还非常好看呐！

LL：That's a good idea!

今天李华学到两个常用语。第一个是freaky，是形容很可怕，很怪的意思。另一个常用语是wig out，这是指让人激动，或者使人很害怕的意思。
