We thoroughly thought that we had ordered a thousand thirty-six, not a thousand and thirty three thermometers, and asked the Thuringian Thermometer Folks to reship the thermometers; thin, not thick. They apologized for sending only a thousand and thirty three thermometers rather than a thousand and thirty six and promised to replace the thick thermometers with thin ones.

1. I just had a super-duper meal in the resturant.
我刚刚在餐厅吃了一顿超级大餐.
Super-duper 是一种加强语法的说法, 程度上比 Super 还要再高一级. 比方说我要跟老美说我的网页有多棒, 我就可以说, Welcome to my super-duper website! 所以建议一下综艺节目 Super Suday 改名成 Super-duper sunday 可能会有助于收视率的提升.
2. I can't believe you said this is a tiny-little mistake.
我不敢相信你说这是微不足道的错误.
跟 Super-duper 正好对等, 当你要特别强调某件东西很小很小时, 就可以用 tiny-little 来形容. 比方说蚂蚁好了, 你就可以用 tiny-little 来形容, 例如: Hey! Look at those tiny-little creatures. 不过我最常听到的 tiny-little 多半是跟 mistake 连用. 一个人为了强调自己犯的错其实没什么大不了的, 就可以说 It is just a tiny-little mistake.
3. Stick and stone.
我不认为你的话会伤了我.
这是一句很长的
4. I will never ever do it again.
我绝不会再犯同样的错误了.
这句话其实光说 I will never do it again 也就可以了, 但是为了强调这个 never, 他们老美喜欢说成, I will never ever do it again. 表示从今以后绝不会再犯. 有次跟几个老美相约出去玩, 结果有人迟到, 他就拼命地说, Sorry, I will never ever do it again.
5. Okey-Dokey /'oki'doki/
好, 没问题.
okey-dokey 跟我们平常口语上常用的 OK 是一模一样的, 但不知为什么理由, 或许是为了强调吧, 有些人就喜欢说成 okey-dokey. 另外有一点值得一提, 有些人觉的 OK 还不够省略, 它们就只说 K. 有一次在网路上跟一个老美聊天, 他一直跟我说 K 我觉的很奇怪, 后来我问别人才知道 K 就是 OK. 的意思.
6. She is willy-nilly.
她非常地犹豫不决.
Willy-nilly 就是 will or not 的另一种说法, 所以当形容词用就是形容一个人一下子要 (will=willy) 一下子不要 (not=nilly) 但是这种说法其实蛮少用的, 还不见的每一个老美都会知道哩.
7. Drive on the parkway, Park on the driveway.
开在马路上, 停在停车道上.
这句话用中文感受不出它有意思的地方. 美国有很多公路都叫什么 parkway, 如 Atlanta 就有一条 Cobb parkway, 而自家院子都会有一条小路通往马路, 这条小路就叫 driveway, 如果没有车库, 老美就会把车停在 driveway 上. 有趣的是, park 原本是停车的意思, 所以 parkway 应该是停车的地方, 但实际上它却是行车的大马路, driveway 应该是开车的地方, 但却成了停车的小路. 有空的人可以去考考老美为什么他们这样命名.
8. Do you have the walkie-talkie?
你有没有手提式无线电机啊?
Walkie-talkie 依照我们之前的经验, wakie-talkie 就是 walk and talk 的意思, 在大哥大还没有发现的年代里, 那种手提式的无线话机相信是很酷的吧, 但现在大家人手一只大哥大, walkie-talkie 似乎就没什么了.
9. See you later, alligator.
再见.
有一首歌就叫 See you later, alligator. Alligator 是指产在美国东南部一种很像鳄鱼但嘴巴较短的动物, 在这句话里 allegator 完全没有意思, 只是为了让整句话听起来较押韵而已. 所以这句话就只有 see you later 的意思.
10. In a while, crocodile.
再见了.
如果人家说 See you later, alligator, 那你要怎么接话? 答案就是 In a while, crocodile. Crocodile 在这里指的就是鳄鱼, 所以这二句话对仗和押韵兼而有之, 赶紧学起来.
