流行美语第348 课：后悔到想踹自己-（韦博分享）流行美语第348 课：后悔到想踹自己-（韦博分享）李华和 Larry 一起到饭馆吃饭。店里人多，他们只好排队等位。今天我们要学两个常用语：to kick oneself和 wiggle room。LH: Larry, 真希望这家饭馆能快点上菜，我快饿晕了！L: Yeah, I'm pretty hungry too, and smelling all the delicious food here is only making it worse. LH: 咱们待会儿也别看菜单了，就跟服务员说，什么菜能上得最快，我们就点什么。L: Well, I guess we could do that ... but if the food is really bad, you're going to be kicking yourself later. LH: 你说我要 kick myself? 踢我自己？别开玩笑了，我连抬腿的劲儿都没有了，怎么还能踢自己。L: Actually, if you really regret something stupid that you did earlier, you can say that you are kicking yourself. LH: 哦， 原来 to kick oneself不是自己踢自己，而是为自己做的蠢事感到后悔。你是说，要是我不看菜单瞎点，八成得后悔。L: Right! Here is another example.

LH: 那油炸奶酪？L: Yeah, those are really tasty too, but they're so fattening! I know I'm going to be kicking myself at the gym tomorrow. LH: Larry, 你怎么这么多事！这家饭馆挺贵的，应该不会难吃。L: Yeah, I'm going to be kicking myself if we spend a lot of money on dinner but the food isn't very good. LH: 可是 Larry ，我真的饿死了。那张桌子空出来了，我们可以进去了! L: Great! Let's go and sit down. ****** LH: 啊，真是酒足饭饱，我吃得太多了，撑死了。咱们干点什么消化消消食儿吧。L: Hmm ... do you want to go see a movie? ...
