茶話會第92期:舒適的生活
一、邊聽邊學 Listen and Learn
live high off the hog 舒適的生活
strapped 手頭沒錢
land on one's feet 度過困境
in there pitching 努力奮鬥
let grass grow under one's feet 錯過機會，怠惰
not so hot 不是太好
take a crack at 嘗試
sweatshop 血汗工廠
sling hash 在小飯店裏做接待
二、邊聽邊說 Listen and Speak
A: Someday you'll be living high off the hog, but right now I know you're strapped.
有一天你會過上好日子，不過我知道你現在手頭並不寬裕。
B: Don't worry. I'll land on my feet.
不用擔心，我會撐過去的。
A: You're always in there pitching. You don't let any grass grow under your feet.
你一直都很努力，從不放過任何機會。
B: That's true. Even if a job's not so hot, I'll take a crack at it.
沒錯，即使不是很看好的工作，我也會嘗試。
A: I know. You've worked in a sweatshopand now you're slinging hash.
我知道。前一陣子你做粗工，現在則做接待。
