Michael和李华正在谈论有关买汽车的事。
L: Michael, 你没有买Jerry的车啊？我以为价钱很公道啊！怎么回事啊？
M: Please don"t mention that! Jerry sold the car to someone else yesterday. I"m still kicking myself for not buying it when I had the chance.
L: Kicking yourself, kick不就是k-i-c-k，踢球的踢吗？你为什么要踢你自己呢？
M: No, no Li Hua. "To kick oneself" means to feel regret for missing an opportunity, or making a mistake that could have been avoided.
L: 噢，to kick oneself不是真的踢自己，意思是：自己失去了一个好机会而埋怨自己太笨。Michael, 那到底是怎么回事啊？
M: Well, I told Jerry that I wanted to check out some other cars before I made a decision. Someone else bought the car before I had a chance to decide. I"m still kicking myself for waiting too long.

L: 原来你是想等看看别的车以后再做决定，结果Jerry就把车卖给别人了。哎哟，Michael, 你不用埋怨自己啦。不管做什么交易，作决定前仔细考虑清楚总是好的。
M: Well, I guess you"re right. When I bought the car I have now, I wasn"t careful enough. Later, I found out the car was in very poor condition, and I have been kicking myself ever since.
L: 你看，我说得没错。你买现在这辆车的时候不小心，所以现在老要出问题。哎，Michael, 你呀，买得不好也怨自己，没有买到也埋怨自己。你累不累呀！
