李华和Larry说好一起看电影，可是李华等了好久Larry才到。

LH: Larry，你跑哪里去了，怎么这么晚才来嘛！我买好电影票在这里等你等了20分钟了！

LL: Hey, don"t give me the third degree! I"m a little late because my mom called, that"s all.

LH: 原来是你妈妈打电话给你。对了，你又说我什么啦，我给你third degree?那是什么意思？

Give someone the third degree 盘问某人

LL: To give someone the third degree means to question that person aggressively in order to get him/her to confess to something.

LH: To give someone the third degree就是盘问某人的意思。我可没有盘问你的意思。我只是等你等了很久，都快发火了嘛！

LL: Sorry. I didn"t expect my mom to call. My mom gave me the third degree, too. She wanted to know why I haven"t called her in such a long time.

LH: 你妈也质问你为什么这么久没打电话回家。那你是怎么跟她说的？

LL: I just told her that I"ve been really busy. The truth is that I avoid calling her, because every time I do call her, she gives me the third degree about something.

LH: 你也别这样，我想你妈不是真的在骂你，或生你的气；她只是很关心你，很担心你嘛！

LL: You"re probably right, but sometimes she asks so many questions that it really feels like I"m getting the third degree.更多信息请访问：http://www.24en.com/

LH: 如果你怕你妈问东问西的，也许你应该经常打电话给她。这样她就不会这么操心，也不会老是追问你一堆问题喽！Then she won"t give you the third degree.

LL: You know, Li Hua, that"s a good idea!
