地道美語怎麼說 第23課:不速之客

Donny在北京學漢語，他的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教他。今天是Jimmy要問的：不速之客。
Donny:Jimmy! How did your birthday party go last weekend?
Jimmy:不錯! 大家玩兒得很高興! 可是，有些客人我根本不認識。這些不速之客，用美語怎麼說？
Donny:Ah-ha! These guests are called party Crashers! Crasher is spelled c-r-a-s-h-e-r.
Jimmy:哦，聚會上的不速之客是party crasher. 現在想想，I got at least three party crashers. 客人太多，沒注意，就讓他們混進來了。
Donny:沒錯! Party crashers usually target big parties. They blend into the party so they don't get kicked out.
Jimmy:可不，他們混進來之後就猛吃猛喝，不太說話。
Donny:其實，Having a couple of freeloaders in your party was not that terrible.
Jimmy:freeloader?
Donny:Yes. f-r-e-e-l-o-a-d-e-r, freeloader 白吃白喝的人。
Jimmy:freeloader就是蹭吃蹭喝的人。我生日party上那幾個party crashers明顯是衝着吃喝來的，他們就是典型的freeloaders!
Donny:沒錯，Some party crashers come for the food and drinks, while others just want to meet new people.
Jimmy:還好我那天準備的酒足夠多，雖然有些不速之客，大家還是能盡興! Party結束後，幾個朋友喝多了，還在我家睡了一晚上呢!
Donny:Jimmy, it's nice of you to let them crash for the night at your place. You're such a good host.
Jimmy:怎麼又是 crash?
Donny:Here, the word "crash" means to temporarily stay or sleep at a place. For example, a friend might ask you:"Can I crash on your sofa for the night?"
Jimmy:哦，crash 就是暫住，那你說的"Can I crash for the night on your sofa?" 也就是“我能不能在你家沙發上湊合一晚上”。
Donny:That's right! Now let's see what you've learned today!
Jimmy:第一，派對上的不速之客是party crasher
第二，白吃白喝的人是freeloader
第三，湊和睡一晚，可以說 crash here for the night.
