Talk Like a Surfer
http://www.sina.com.cn 2005/09/28 21:54  《第一英语》杂志

  Surfers have their own language. Can you figure out what they are saying?

  At the surf shop

  James: “All of these boards are killer. This has gotta be the best surf shop east of Bali. Look at the shubee buying all of that gear.”

  Eloise: “Yeah, you won’t see him tubing anytime soon. How much is that long board?”

  James: “Way too expensive. You saw that hot new lifeguard?”

  Eloise: “Yeah, I’ve seen him. He’s so not hot.”

  James: “No, I meant the girl who looks like a model. You think I should pretend I can’t swim so she can save me?”

  Eloise: “No way. Like, that’s really stupid.”

  At the beach:

  Pamela: “Aw man, we’ve been sitting here for ages waiting for the tourists to clear out. It’s killing me.”

  David: “I know it. Check out those gnarly waves. I’m gonna do a hang ten out there.”

  Pamela: “Those waves are too rad for you. You’re a total grom.”

  David: “Okay, whatever. Wanna play volleyball?”

  Pamela: “Sorry dude. Gotta go wax my board down. Later.”

  Shubee someone who has never surfed but still buys all of the surfing gear and clothes

  Tubing riding through the tunnel formed by a collapsing wave

  Gnarly challenging, great, awesome

  Hang ten relatively rare and difficult task of a surfer having all ten toes on the front nose of the board (common goal of longboarders)

  Grom a beginner surfer

冲浪对话

  詹姆斯: 这些冲浪板看起来都不错,这是巴厘岛东部最好的冲浪器材店了,你看看那个人,拥有那么多奢侈的设备,却不知道怎么冲浪。

  埃勒维兹:对,最近是不可能看到他冲击管状大波浪了,那个长板多少钱?

  詹姆斯:“太贵了,你有没看到那个长得很好看的新救生员?”

  埃勒维兹:我看到他了,我根本不觉得他好看。

  詹姆斯:不,我指的是那个看起来象模特的女孩,你觉得我能不能假装不会游泳,然后让她来救我?

  埃勒维兹:绝对不行,我觉得那样做太愚蠢了。

  在海滩

  帕梅拉:听着,我的朋友,我们坐在这里等游客离开已经好久了,我真的不耐烦了。

  大卫:我同意,看看那些雄伟的波涛,我今天冲浪的时候要把我的脚趾钩在冲浪板的颈部。

  帕梅拉:那些波浪对你太危险了,你完全是个冲浪新手。

  大卫:“好了,不说了,怎么样就怎么样吧。想打排球吗。”

  帕梅拉:不好意思,我的朋友,我得去给我的冲浪板上蜡。
