Larry和李華一起去參觀藝術(shù)博物館，他們會(huì)用到一個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：Overkill，這個(gè)詞本來(lái)的意思是過(guò)度殺傷，現(xiàn)在引申為“夸張、過(guò)分的想法或行為”。
LH: Larry, 聽(tīng)我的沒(méi)錯(cuò)吧。逛藝術(shù)博物館比看電影強(qiáng)多了！
L: Well I agree. But the art museum would be even better if it served popcorn too!
LH: 這倒也是，要是博物館里也賣(mài)爆米花、熱狗、啤酒，邊逛邊吃，那該有多舒服啊!
L: Hot dogs and beer? I don't know, Lihua. I think that might be overkill.
LH: Overkill是什么意思？
L: When you think that an idea goes too far, you can say that it is overkill.
LH: 哦，overkill就是過(guò)份的想法或行為。你是說(shuō)，在博物館里賣(mài)爆米花似乎還不錯(cuò)，可如果連熱狗和啤酒都一起賣(mài)就太夸張了。
L: That's right! Here is another example. Elliot's boss thought about firing him for being an hour late to work, but then decided that would be overkill.
LH: 哦，Elliot遲到了一個(gè)小時(shí)，老板本來(lái)想因?yàn)檫@個(gè)而炒他的魷魚(yú)，不過(guò)后來(lái)覺(jué)得，這么做未免太過(guò)份了。對(duì)了，Larry, 博物館這么好，我們天天來(lái)這里逛如何？
L: Lihua, I really enjoy the art gallery, but coming here every single day would definitely be overkill.
LH: 什么過(guò)份，你真沒(méi)有藝術(shù)細(xì)胞! 我的藝術(shù)氣質(zhì)比你濃多了，我在想我干脆去讀個(gè)藝術(shù)史的博士好了！
L: Lihua, it's fine to enjoy art as a hobby, but I think getting a PhD in art history would really be overkill.
LH: 呵呵，我開(kāi)玩笑的.。對(duì)了Larry, 你還記得上次咱們?nèi)トA盛頓看兵馬俑展覽么？
L: I sure do! That was one of my favorites.
LH: 就是，多好看啊�？上д钩龅闹皇且徊糠郑撬斜R俑都到美國(guó)來(lái)展覽就好了！
L; I don't know ... I was satisfied seeing just a few. I think bringing the entire collection here would be overkill.
LH: 才不會(huì)呢！要看就得看全的！那個(gè)氣勢(shì)，肯定不一樣！我給你買(mǎi)張機(jī)票，你去中國(guó)看吧！
L: Lihua, it's nice that you're encouraging me to see the Teracotta Warriors, but buying me a plane ticket to China is definitely overkill!
