Overkill 夸張的想法口語摘抄

　　Larry和李華一起去參觀藝術博物館，他們會用到一個常用語：Overkill，這個詞本來的意思是過度殺傷，現在引申為“夸張、過分的想法或行為”。

　　LH: Larry, 聽我的沒錯吧。逛藝術博物館比看電影強多了！

　　L: Well I agree. But the art museum would be even better if it served popcorn too!

　　LH: 這倒也是，要是博物館里也賣爆米花、熱狗、啤酒，邊逛邊吃，那該有多舒服啊!

　　L: Hot dogs and beer? I don't know, Lihua. I think that might be overkill.

　　LH: Overkill是什么意思？

　　L: When you think that an idea goes too far, you can say that it is overkill.

　　LH: 哦，overkill就是過份的想法或行為。你是說，在博物館里賣爆米花似乎還不錯，可如果連熱狗和啤酒都一起賣就太夸張了。

　　L: That's right! Here is another example. Elliot's boss thought about firing him for being an hour late to work, but then decided that would be overkill.

　　LH: 哦，Elliot遲到了一個小時，老板本來想因為這個而炒他的魷魚，不過后來覺得，這么做未免太過份了。對了，Larry, 博物館這么好，我們天天來這里逛如何？

　　L: Lihua, I really enjoy the art gallery, but coming here every single day would definitely be overkill.

　　LH: 什么過份，你真沒有藝術細胞! 我的'藝術氣質比你濃多了，我在想我干脆去讀個藝術史的博士好了！

　　L: Lihua, it's fine to enjoy art as a hobby, but I think getting a PhD in art history would really be overkill.

　　LH: 呵呵，我開玩笑的。對了Larry, 你還記得上次咱們去華盛頓看兵馬俑展覽么？

　　L: I sure do! That was one of my favorites.

　　LH: 就是，多好看啊。可惜展出的只是一部分，要是所有兵馬俑都到美國來展覽就好了！

　　L; I don't know ... I was satisfied seeing just a few. I think bringing the entire collection here would be overkill.

　　LH: 才不會呢！要看就得看全的！那個氣勢，肯定不一樣！我給你買張機票，你去中國看吧！

　　L: Lihua, it's nice that you're encouraging me to see the Teracotta Warriors, but buying me a plane ticket to China is definitely overkill!
