地道英语：别逗了！

　　Dont make me laugh!

　　Jennifer: Hi, Im Jennifer and this is Authentic Real English. In this programme, we teach you about English words or phrases which you might not find in the dictionary. Here comes Feifei.

　　Feifei: Hello Jen. 大家好!Jen 我有事儿要告诉你。

　　Jennifer: Oh yes, what is it?

　　Feifei: 我刚才在接水喝的时候听见老板说他准备让咱们每个人去度假两周，而且是免费的!

　　Jennifer: A free holiday?

　　Feifei: Yes, Im sure thats what he said.

　　Jennifer: Dont make me laugh!

　　Feifei: It does sound too good to be true. Jen 刚才说 dont make me laugh 意思是你太可笑了，别逗了 。在英语里，别人告诉你一件事情，而你觉得这个事儿肯定不会发生，这时你就可以说 dont make me laugh.

　　Jennifer: And I dont think the boss is going to give us a holiday, especially a free one. The boss giving us special treats...? Dont make me laugh.

　　Feifei: Lets hear some more examples of this phrase.

　　A: I heard that Justin Bieber is going to play a gig at our Christmas party!

　　B: Dont make me laugh - hes far too famous to come here.

　　A: Do you think that the Scotland football team could win the World Cup one day?

　　B: Dont make me laugh - theyve never won anything!

　　Feifei: So, dont make me laugh 这个表达用来表示你觉得某件事儿肯定不会发生。

　　Jennifer: Like our boss giving away free holidays. So I wonder what he did mean?

　　Feifei: 哎，你快看，老板发了封邮件。他说 m going away for two weeks. You will all need to work extra hard during this time, and dont call me - I want a work-free holiday.

　　Jennifer: You see? I told you he wouldnt give away free holidays. He wants a work-free holiday: that means he doesnt want to think about work while hes away.

　　Feifei: 没办法，刚才是我听错了。免费度假这个希望是完全破灭了!

　　Jennifer: So, are you planning to work extra hard while hes away?

　　Feifei: Oh, dont make me laugh! Im not working hard, Im going to take advantage and have a relaxing two weeks without the boss here!

　　Jennifer: That sounds like a good plan. Join us again for another edition of Authentic Real English from BBC Learning English. Bye for now!

　　Feifei: Bye!
