JESSICA: Hey 怡茹，how's it going?
YR: Oh, hey JESSICA..我...我好困阿...困死我了...
JESSICA: Didn't you sleep well last night?
YR: Sleep well? 我压根就没睡!!! 我男朋友昨天拉着我陪他去买iPhone 4S, 可现在这最新的iPhone特抢手! 对了，JESSICA，这种大家都想要的抢手货用美语怎么说啊？
JESSICA: You can say it sells like hotcakes. Hotcakes is spelled h-o-t-c-a-k-e-s, hotcakes. If you say something sells like hotcakes, it means it is sold quickly and in large numbers.
YR: 没错! The new iPhone 4S sold like hotcakes! 新的iPhone 4S 绝对是抢手货!
JESSICA: There's actually another way of saying it, you can say: the new iPhone 4S is flying off the shelf! Shelf is spelled s-h-e-l-f, shelf, 是货架的意思。Fly off the shelf, 就是说一件东西卖得特别好。
YR: 店员还特别告诉我们，当天晚上他们会进新货，建议我们半夜就去排队，这样就能保证一大早开门的时候买到最新的iPhone了...所以我们大半夜就搬着小椅子守在苹果店门口....
JESSICA: You camped out last night!
YR: Camp out?
JESSICA: Camp, c-a-m-p, 是露营的意思，camp out means that you stay outdoors all night in front of the store! 也可以说是露营!
YR: 哈哈，没错! 我们就好像去露营一样，在苹果店门口呆了整整一夜! 这种事只有我男朋友这种科技发烧友才干得出来!
JESSICA: 看来你男朋友还真是个tech-head! Tech是technology的简称，tech-head 脑袋里全是tech，就是科技发烧友!
YR: Totally! My boyfriend is such a tech-head!
JESSICA: 好，言归正传，说说你今天都学到了什么!
YR: 第一：形容一件东西抢手说something sells like hotcakes, 或者 something is flying off the shelf.
第二：为买东西通宵露营，叫camp out;
第三：科技发烧友是tech-head.
