随着英语这种语言的普及，英语水平成了大学生走向社会的通行证。为帮助大学生轻松掌握英语知识，特提供以下文章：
L：嗨，Michael，快进来。
M: Hey, Li Hua, what's up?
L：什么?
M: What's up? What are you doing?
L：What's up? 我却是听人这么说过，可是我还没有弄清嚣张这句话到底是什么意思，我应该怎么回覆?
M: What's up is really a common greeting.
L：噢，what's up就是一般打号召，不是指我的头上是什么呐?
M: No. It's like saying, "What is happening in your life?"
L：我知道了，what's up就是中文里我们说的：怎么样?
M: Well, it's really only spoken language.
L：若是我去看一个我已经有两个月没见的伴侣，我在见到她的时辰我可以说What's up，对吗?
M: Yes, definitely!
L：那别人对我说what's up?我又该怎么回覆呢?
M: You can explain what's going on in your life, or you could say something as simple as: Not much.
L：若是你问我，What's up? 我就可以说：Oh，not much, just getting ready for our test. 意思就是：噢，没什么，就是在筹备我们的考试
M: That's good usage. You can really say anything.
L：对，你怎么回覆都行。好吧，我们该进修了。我真是但愿此次考试概缦悝曩昔。
M: You stress too much, this test will be a no brainer.
L：你是说我压力太大，没有脑子?你知道我脑子很灵的呀!
M: Smarter than me, that's for sure. What I mean is that this test will be really easy. No brainer means something that reqires little or no thought.
L：好，你认可我比你聪明。不外，我还得跟钠揭捉?英文。你说，no brainer就是某件事很轻易，不需要动脑子就行呀?
M: Yeah.
L：我知道了。象我哥哥那天去买车，命运好，碰着一个公司半价出售。在这种情形下抉择买不买，不就是no brainer吗?
L：那次阿谁标致女孩邀你出去玩，你接管不接管邀请不也是很轻易定的吗
M: Yeah, that was a really easy decision, could be called no brainer. Of course I would go out with her.
L：对，抉择是轻易做，可是你到头来仍是不喜欢她。
M: That's true. When the University gave you a scholarship to come study here in New York, it was a no brainer for you too.
L：当然啦，大学给我奖学金来纽约念书，作这种抉择还要动脑子啊?更况且我进修成就那么好。
M: So then why are you bothering to study?
L：这还用问?再聪明的人也得念书嘛!
M: On, ok, let's get back to work.
