“头脑风暴”怎么说？

　　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! Im 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?Whats 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: Thats right! 对了，吴琼的生日快到了，Lets 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! Lets 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 youve 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。
