“腿”是leg，但“大腿”可不是big leg

对话原文

Oh, hi. Your mom said I could hang out.

回来了 你妈妈说我可以在这里呆着 

Hang out, hang yourself, I really don't care.

呆着 上吊 我根本不在乎 

What's your problem?

你有什么不顺心的 

Oh, sorry.

抱歉 

My car broke down,

我的车坏了 

and I had to walk three miles in these awful polyester pants.

我穿着这条该死的涤纶裤走了三英里

My thighs almost started a fire.

我的大腿都快着火了 

You want me to look at the car?

要我帮忙看下车吗 

Well, I guess technically it didn't break down.

我想确切来说不是坏了 

Technically, it ran out of gas.

确切来说是没油了

今日重点：

闲逛：hang out。hang本义可以作“悬挂，吊死”。注意：作“悬挂”时，过去时为hung；作“吊死”时，过去时为hanged

发生故障：break down

聚酯纤维：polyester。这个词在衣服的成分标签上很常见

大腿：thigh /θaɪ/

技术上：technically

用光：run out of sth。或者可以说sth run out

汽油：gas。美式英语中gas或gasoline更常用，而英式英语中更常用petrol
