I'm going to meet Jon at the subway. You've met Jon, haven't you?
Yes. I want to drag him out to do something. You know, he's such a couch potato.
No, couch potato is an expression used to describe someone who sits in front of the TV all the time eating junk food, such as potato chips.
Yes, it is only used to describe people, those who are lazy and unmotivated.
My father is like that too. My mother is always angry at him. But he doesn't care.
But sometimes, after a really hard week at school, I also just want to collapse and be a couch potato.
Yes, Li Hua, I agree.
Li Hua, would you like to join us? Jon and I are going to play tennis.
That's wonderful. You know, some people think I'm nuts to have a friend like Jon.
No, nuts here means someone who is crazy.
That's right. Jon can be rude, and he also argues a lot. Sometimes he does drive me nuts.
Drives me nuts means he makes me crazy.
Of course. You know, my mother used to make me clean my room every night when I was in high school and that drove me nuts.
Oh, yes. She is nuts. She spent 200 dollars on a dress, and it's ugly.
Li Hua, I think you are learning these words too fast.
L：嗨，Michael, 你上哪儿去呀？
M：I'm going to meet Jon at the subway. You've met Jon, haven't you?
L：嗯，是不是上次在一次party上你给我介绍的那个带眼镜的人？
M：Yes. I want to drag him out to do something. You know, he's such a couch potato.
L：他是什么？ Couch potato? 什么是couch potato? 他爱吃土豆？
M：No, couch potato is an expression used to describe someone who sits in front of the TV all the time eating junk food, such as potato chips.
L：噢，原来coach potato是指一个人老坐在电视机前吃零食。 这个常用语挺有趣。那couch potato是不是只能指人呀？
M：Yes, it is only used to describe people, those who are lazy and unmotivated.
L：噢，只能指人，指那些懒懒散散，没有动力的人。好，下回我就叫我哥哥couch potato。他老是看电视，一看就看到三更半夜，吃的东西撒在地毯上，沙发上，到处都是。
M：My father is like that too. My mother is always angry at him. But he doesn't care.
L：哟，你爸爸也是这样呀！要我是你妈，我也会生气的。
M：But sometimes, after a really hard week at school, I also just want to collapse and be a couch potato.
L：一个星期在学校念书实在很累了，回家当一回couch potato， 我想这还是可以的，只要不是每天这样就行了。
M：Yes, Li Hua, I agree.
M: Li Hua, would you like to join us? Jon and I are going to play tennis.
L：你们要打网球呀，那太好了，我正在学打网球呐。
M：That's wonderful. You know, some people think I'm nuts to have a friend like Jon.
L：有的人认为你是什么？ Nuts？Nuts不是花生，杏仁那样的果仁吗？你跟Jon交朋友跟吃花生有什么关系呀？
M：No, nuts here means someone who is crazy.
L：原来nuts在这里是说一个人做的事很怪。大概就象中文里说的：你疯啦！对吗？
M：That's right. Jon can be rude, and he also argues a lot. Sometimes he does drive me nuts.
L：他看起来不象会对别人无礼，爱跟人争论的人哪！你刚才说drives me nuts 是什么意思啊？
M：Drives me nuts means he makes me crazy.
L：噢，还可以说drive me nuts， 或者是drive someone nuts。嗨，Michael， 那天我上移民局去办手续，排队好长，我站了一小时，我真是火死了。我能说：They drove me nuts 吗？
M：Of course. You know, my mother used to make me clean my room every night when I was in high school and that drove me nuts.
L：你念中学的时候你妈妈每天晚上要你打扫房间？那是有点受不了。嗨，Michael，你认识我的朋友张红吗？
M：Oh, yes. She is nuts. She spent 200 dollor for a dress, and it's ugly.
L：对，张红这个人是有点问题，花两百美元买件难看的衣服。不过，Michael，你总是批评别人买的东西。 You sometimes drive me nuts too.
M：Li Hua, I think you are learning these words too fast.
