Stuffed
Li: Neil, can we get this program done now? I need to get some stuff for my Sunday roast dinner. Neil: I am stuffed! Oh, totally stuffed (burp)m sorry! Li: Well, since today's words are stuff and stuffed, I think you will be just perfect to explain them. Neil: Oh that's easy. I knew I was going to a lunch party this lunchtime, so I skipped breakfast. Li: That's not good. Neil: Anyway, I got there and a lovely buffet was set up. The stuff on offer looked great. Li: Stuff? You mean food? Neil: Yes. The word ‘stuff' can mean anything really. It almost has the same meaning as ‘things'. Let's hear these people: We need to clear the lockers. Can you get all your stuff out by 7pm tonight? The amount of stuff she's got in her bathroom is unbelievable. She's got enough to open a beauty shop. Woman: What's that stuff on your jacket? Man: Er, it's pigeon dropping. Yuck.
Li: Well, we hear the word stuff used a lot in conversations. People say it all the time. My stuff, your stuff, his stuff, all referring to things. Neil: Yes. You can also use it like a verb: I stuffed myself with food. Li: You are stuffed? Completely full? Neil: Yes, I am completely stuffed, I can barely move. Li: What about stuffed toys? I see them a lot in toyshops. You look just like one of those stuffed toys! Neil: I can't stand them. They are stuffed full of wool or cotton or something. They are for girls; I much prefer proper wooden toys. Li: Maybe you'd prefer a wooden pillow too? Neil: Are you joking! I've got to have a nice and soft pillow. But I must make sure it has the right stuffing in it? Li: What's the right stuffing? Neil: Anything but feather or duck down. Li: Why? Neil: Allergies. I can't stand anything stuffed with feathers.
Li: I think we've talked long enough about stuff you eat for lunch, stuff that you liked and stuff that gives you allergies. Neil: Well, it's time for you to get your stuff ready for Sunday Roast. Li: That's right. Join us next time. Bye bye! Neil: Bye!
嘿，Neil，现在可以做节目了没？ 我还得为我的周日烧烤晚宴准备东西呢。 我撑死了！ 哦，完全吃撑了。（打嗝）不好意思！ 呃，因为今天要学的单词是Stuff和Stuffed，我认为你是最好的人选来解释这两个词。 哦，这容易。 我知道今天中午要参加一个午宴派对，所以特意没吃早餐。 那可不好啊。 不管怎么说吧，我到了那里之后，自助餐食已经准备齐全了。 所有端出来的东西看起来都很不错！ Stuff？东西？ 你是说吃的东西？ 是的。Stuff事实上可以指任何东西。 简直跟Things的意思一样。 来听一下这些人都说了些什么： 我们需要清理储物柜。 你能在最迟今晚7点把你的东西都拿出来不？ 她浴室里的东西多得不可思议。 简直可以开一个美容院了。 你外套里上是什么东西？ 呃，鸽子粪。 恶心死了！
嗯，我们在对话中反复听到了Stuff这个单词。 人们总是在用这个词。 我的东西，你的东西，他的东西，全都指东西呢。 是的。 你也可以把它当作动词使用：我给我肚子塞了好多食物。 You are stuffed? 很饱的意思？ 嗯。我吃撑了，几乎动都动不了。 那Stuffed 的玩具是什么意思？ 我在玩具店经常看见。 你看起来就像其中的一个。 我可受不了身上填了东西的玩具娃娃。 它们常被羊毛，棉花或是其它东西来填充。 女孩子玩儿的；我更喜欢木头玩具。 也许，你也更喜欢木头枕头吧？ 开玩笑吧你！ 我需要一个漂亮柔软的枕头。 但是我必须确保它里面填充的是合适的东西。 那什么才是适合的填充物呢？ 什么都可以，除了羽毛或是鸭绒。 为什么？ 我会过敏的。 我不能忍受任何填充了羽毛的东西。
你中午吃的东西，你喜欢的东西，会让你过敏的东西，我想我们聊这些已经聊得够多了！ 那，现在轮到你准备你周日烧烤派对所需要的Stuff（东西）了。 没错。 下次再见咯！ 拜拜！ 拜！
