jessica在北京学汉语，她的中国朋友要是遇到了不知道用美语怎么说的词，就会来请教她。今天是逸华要问的：头脑风暴。
jessica: yihua! your presentation was awesome! i'm really impressed!
yh: 谢谢你 jessica! 做得好，可不是我一个人的功劳！我们小组成员坐下来，来了一次头脑风暴！所以演示才这么成功。
jessica: 头脑风暴？what's that?
yh: 就是大家坐下来一起讨论，集思广益呀！
jessica: oh! i think i know what you are talking about! you guys had a brainstorming session。
yh: brain, b-r-a-i-n, 大脑； storm, s-t-o-r-m, 风暴。加在一起，brainstorm 就是头脑风暴喽！
jessica: exactly! brainstorm basically means to put your heads together in order to come up with good ideas。
yh: put someones' heads together，把头放在一起！引申出来就是集思广益。就像中文里说的，三个臭皮匠，赛过一个诸葛亮。
jessica: that's right! 对了，吴琼的生日快到了，let's put our heads together and figure out what we can give her for her birthday。
yh: good idea! 我知道，吴琼特别标新立异，所以啊，这生日礼物也得有创意才行。
jessica: i know how picky she can be... but we can do it! let's think outside the box and see what we should get him。
yh: think outside the box? 到盒子外面去找？
jessica: it basically means to break out of your normal ideas and be creative。
yh: 这个说法形象！think outside the box! 跳出条条框框去想，就是有创意。集思广益，一定能找到有创意的想法。
jessica: there you go! now tell me what you've learned today!
yh: 第一，头脑风暴叫做：brainstorm；
第二，集思广益，可以说：put ones' heads together；
第三，创造性思维，叫think outside the box。
