Larry跟李華商量星期六一起吃早飯。今天我們要學(xué)兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：crack of dawn和crunch time.

LL: Hey Li Hua, how are you?

LH: 我正忙著把這個(gè)星期的工作趕緊處理完，好無(wú)憂無(wú)慮地過(guò)周末。你怎么樣，忙不忙？

LL: I'm doing pretty good. I've been busy with work too. Hey, I was wondering...do you want to grab breakfast this Saturday?

LH: 星期六一起吃早飯？好啊。不過(guò)，我跟Jamie約好一起去爬山，所以如果要吃飯，一定要早。

LL: Oh okay, how about right at the crack of dawn?

LH: Crack of dawn? 那是幾點(diǎn)?。?

LL: I mean right at dawn...right when the sun comes up.

LH: 哦，我明白了。 Crack of dawn就是日出時(shí)分。

LL: Bingo. The crack of dawn is that first light in the morning when the sun rises above the horizon. That time of morning is called the crack of dawn.

LH: 可是Larry，好不容易到了周末，我可不想一大早就跑去吃早飯。

LL: You're probably right. I'm just used to getting up at the crack of dawn because of work.

LH: 你平時(shí)早起，難道連周末也不睡懶覺(jué)嗎？

LL: I'd like to... But I'm so used to waking up at the crack of dawn during the week that I end up waking up at the crack of dawn on Saturday and Sunday too.

LH: 可crack of dawn對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)實(shí)在是太早了。日出兩個(gè)小時(shí)以后，大約八點(diǎn)鐘前后怎么樣？

LL: That's fine. How about we meet at 8:30?

LH: 好，一言為定。我們?nèi)ツ睦锍裕?

LL: I was thinking the local bakery on 14th and Elm. You can take the number 39 bus and we will meet outside the bakery.

LH: Perfect. 那我們星期六早上八點(diǎn)半不見(jiàn)不散。

LL: Come to think of it. I'm glad we are not meeting at the crack of dawn. Maybe I'll be able to sleep in.
