Michael这个美国学生由于各方面的压力太大而情绪不太好。今天他想去找李华一起出去放松放松。现在他正在敲李华的门。Michael会教李华两个常用语：to play hooky和to snap。5 H" @1 R7 [4 Y7 C

But I didn't read the assignment for class today, and I just didn't feel like going, so I decided to play hooky. % T; h3 I& H1 |6 e 7 Y( m6 s* Z( aL：你真够呛，没看今天上课的材料就不想去上课，还想在家玩什么游戏！什么是hooky呀？ 3 {: }.

M：I'm sorry, Li Hua. I didn't mean to snap at you. It's just that right now I'm so stressed. That's part of the reason why I didn't go to class today. & M b+ ^5 \, o& m0 P& } |1 c5 U" n' ?, G v1 i! ?
L：没关系，我知道你最近压力很大。你说 "I didn't mean to snap at you", 那是什么意思呀？是不是指你很生气地跟我说话？ 9 e5 x7 g) J4 m( t7 u/ i3 s& V7 S- n) m# b, t
M：Yeah, to snap, s-n-a-p. To snap at someone means to yell at someone or talk to them in an angry way. 1 t' v. |# W/ Z/ j3 Z J9 L: U/ z: B
L：to snap at someone 就是对某人大声嚷嚷，或者很生气地和某人说话。Michael，你一般不对人那么讲话的。我想可能是你最近压力太大了。 " D b; q: N& y" D% | $ M9 O( W9 U1 PM：Yeah, but that's no excuse for snapping at you. I know you didn't mean to make me angry. " o1 T8 B2 Z5 g8 X / L+ a6 D& \9 fL：我是没有让你生气的意思。没关系，每个人都有情绪不好的时候嘛！Michael，我以前好象听到别人用过to snap at someone，可不太清楚它的意思。有一次，一个小孩说他打破了什么东西。。。 * ~* H* c2 c' ^; p % Z' D9 G# W5 c* Q% qM：His mother must have snapped at him when he broke something at home.6 `+ p, O8 ~: ]& S6 o% _ @" w

L：对，他是说他妈妈骂他因为他打破了一个花瓶。可是，Michael，这里的snap是过去时，那该怎么拼呢？ w2 I$ ]4 ?6 A) [6 c * f( t& X$ t0 y: JM：Past tense for snap is s-n-a-p-p-e-d. I can say, "I snapped at you but I apologized."- R+ D( G8 l5 f7 b
