1956 Rich vocabulary

"Give me a male name. ”

"Hmm...... Nagini?"

The first formal question of the first formal session that Jimmy had prepared for tonight's show, Lan Li made a laugh with a simple name.

If it weren't for Jimmy's certainty, they didn't communicate in advance, it was all Lan Li's on-the-spot performance, and he would almost have suspected that such an answer was Lan Li's painstaking thinking, but it was precisely because of this that Jimmy admired Lan Li's charm more and more.

Jimmy looked at Lan Li with a smile and said meaningfully, "It seems that you really have a lot of grudges against 'Harry Potter'. ”

Nagini, that's the name of Voldemort's anaconda.

Lan Li spread his hands, "That's because we've been talking about 'Harry Potter' for so long, and to be honest, I can't even think of any 'X-Men' names in my head right now, in fact, I'm trying to recall the name of Michael Fassbender's character right now, which of you remember his name?"

The audience laughed again.

"Magneto!" Jimmy replied amicably, "Wait, am I switching crews now?"

"No, we're still on the 'Interstellar' crew. Lan Li also quickly replied, "No, it's not Magneto, I mean Magneto's real name, not a nickname like 'Spider-Man'." ”

"......" Jimmy opened his mouth as well, his head crawling with question marks, and then stammered, "I...... To be honest, I can't remember. ”

The audience in the studio began to raise their voices to warn them, and the clear audible voices rang out all around, and Jimmy tapped his head with the ballpoint pen in his hand, "Eric, Eric! Yes, yes, yes, I really forgot." Then Jimmy panicked and cried out for help, "What should I do? Michael and James were on my show two weeks ago, and I forgot about it!"

Turning his head, Jimmy saw Lan Li with a calm face, and said with a smile, "It's all because of you, but you are so calm now?"

Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips, "I'm not very familiar with them. Jimmy was stunned and the audience was delighted.

Jimmy slumped his shoulders in frustration and said in despair, "Can we still finish the show?"

Lan Li raised his eyebrows and gestured, "Otherwise, we'll finish now?" ”

"......" Jimmy held back, and then said very seriously, "I hate you!" but the smile still overflowed directly, and he kept shaking his head, "Lanley-Hall, I hate you!" The laughter of the whole studio could not stop, and Jimmy sat down again, took the "dictation" posture again, and then asked the second question, "What is your favorite teacher's name?"

"Professor Javier. Lan Li replied.

Jimmy didn't look up, but his right hand holding the pen paused, and he endured and endured, but the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed, and it went up.

The audience quickly reacted: Professor Javier, this is Professor X's last name, apparently, Lan Li did it on purpose.

Jimmy was already hovering on the edge of laughter, enduring and enduring, but finally he couldn't hold back, "I'll pretend I don't know." With his right hand, he put down the pen smoothly and wrote the name of "Professor Javier".

The audience was already smiling, but Lan Li was still calm, and compared with Jimmy's helpless appearance with bitter words, the joy was overflowing, and the laughter in the studio was like a bright sunshine, even the staff were no exception.

Actually, Lan Li really didn't mean it, but was concentrating, he needed to keep up with Jimmy's questioning rhythm, otherwise the Q&A session would become protracted and lengthy, plus the real drama should be after all the questions were filled, and now the audience doesn't know so Lan Li himself doesn't know what the full version of Jimmy's card is, so he needs to raise the rhythm of the show to avoid letting the show fall into the quagmire of boredom.

"Interjections. Jimmy continued to ask.

“f***。 The first word that popped into Lan Li's mind popped up, but after blurting it out unconsciously, Lan Li himself was taken aback, and then couldn't help laughing

He was 100% sure that his performance today was a little off the rails, could this be regarded as a self-indulgence?

"No, no, you can't use that word. Jimmy immediately panicked, and the audience burst into laughter, even Lan Li himself couldn't help but hold his forehead: this is the second time he has been embarrassed tonight, but it is also a good taste to enjoy the show once in a while, although Lan Li still feels that vulgar words need to be controlled, because it is really not polite.

Jimmy quickly explained, "It's an American TV show, and we're still banning it, maybe in the UK, but not in the US." ”

The more serious Jimmy is, the more joyful the scene becomes, especially when he looks at Lan Li's smile that can't help but bloom, the more approachable and joyful the atmosphere surges.

Lan Li spread out her hands, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I can't believe I said it like this." I guess, it's supposed to be Cockney just now, and we really shouldn't have opened that Pandora's box. Immediately after seeing Jimmy's impatient appearance, Lan Li shook his head repeatedly, "Don't ask me what I say in Oxford's foul language, you can watch 'The King's Speech', but that's not a 21st century story, you know what I mean." ”

Jimmy was already laughing like crazy, and Jimmy was almost unbearable, but he still made an innocent look, glanced around the audience, and expressed his innocence with his eyes, as if to say: I didn't say anything just now, did I? Don't just put a hat on me, okay?

Lan Li retracted his gaze, put away his smile, and thought about it seriously, interjections? And he needs to be a little stupid, and then he gave a cold answer, "Okay, the talker!"

Jimmy froze in place, and the audience was full of question marks: What? What did Lan Li just say?

Lan Li turned his head, and then he saw Jimmy's face full of pleading, and he suddenly realized, "By the way, the spelling should be ......"

Isn't it hilarious that a "dictation" student doesn't know how to spell it?

Lan Li and Jimmy exchanged glances and didn't say anything more, "F-L-I-B-B I mean, two bi-t-t-y-y, two t's and two y's, gibbitt, g-i two bi two t's." ”

"Okay, write it out, although it knows me, I don't know it, but ...... Very good, next, numbers. Jimmy muttered to himself, and the audience really couldn't stop laughing.

"Uh...... Four thousand two hundred twenty-nine. Lan Li finished speaking.

Jimmy finally laughed, and fell on the table again, using body language to protest: Where did this number come from?

Lan Li also chuckled, "I swear, this is the number in my head right now. ”

Jimmy shrugged his shoulders and picked himself up again, "Noun plural." ”

"Plural noun? artichoke. Again, Lan Li gave an unexpected answer.

"What?" Jimmy's first reaction was stunned, and then he reacted, "Do you mean the artichokes that are served as starters or snacks in French cuisine?"

"Yes!" Lan Li nodded, then saw Jimmy's eyes full of pleading again, and suddenly realized, "Oh, a-r-t-i-c-h-o-k-e. "Many words are like this, and they are easy to use in spoken language, but they are always difficult to spell.

Jimmy finished spelling it carefully, and then asked, like a schoolboy, "The name of the store." ”

"Macy's. Lan Li finally gave a "normal" answer.

"Body parts?" Jimmy quickly moved on to the next question.

"Fart/share. Lan Li used British slang, and many people in the audience looked at each other, but Jimmy spelled it out smoothly this time.

Jimmy whispered, "I'm still very familiar with street language. "It seems like a little show off before getting back to the game again," a silly word. ”

"Fart/share. Oh no. After Lan Li blurted out, he shook his head in denial, "I feel like my thoughts are being wrapped in by you, and I need to expand it." In the midst of Jimmy's chuckle, Lan Li thought about it seriously, "Geronimo. But he shook his head again and denied his thoughts, "No, no, that's very inappropriate." ”

Geronimo, a word with a special meaning, was first derived from the American paratroopers during World War II, and every paratrooper would shout this slogan when he jumped out of the cabin, praying for good luck There is also an interesting story about the source, rumored to be related to the 1939 western film "Geronimo", which tells the story of the Apache, the last Indian tribe to invade the North American continent against European foreign "invaders".

Whether the rumors are true or not, the tradition has been passed down and now "Geronimo" has become a symbol of courage or good luck, not only when parachuting and bungee jumping are set off, but also when embarking on a new journey.

But because the rumors involve Indians, the mainstream media in North America, which is committed to covering up that period of history, is not too interested in such slogans.

Lan Li just came up with the word in his head, but then he felt that it was not appropriate, so he shook his head again and again, "Frankly, the talk show environment in the United States has tied my hands and feet. I'm not quite sure what my options are. ”

In the midst of the commotion, Jimmy raised his head and looked at Lan Li depressedly, "So, how much do you need for your scale?"

"Are you sure you want to discuss this with me?" Lan Li threw the question back, looking excited, and Jimmy immediately admitted, "I think 'flibbittyy-gibbitt' is good to have it here." ”

Lan Li nodded with a smile, and didn't continue to chase and fight, and then rethought for a moment, "Interjection, I'll think again: crumbs." ”

Jimmy nodded in agreement, "That's good, very British." ”

"It's very much like Hugh Grant, you know, 'four weddings and a funeral,' or 'Notting Hill' all have similar pronunciations. ”

Jimmy nodded slightly, "He's British, too, wait, is he London? Forget it, don't tell me." ”

"Yes, Hugh Grant is London, and, he is a standard Oxford accent, he graduated from 'Oxford University'. Lan Li still smiled and replied in the affirmative.
