[第459次听写]怎么用英语地道表达"暴露了年龄"？

我是Wind, 原生活大爆炸和神探夏洛克字幕组组长.我每天早上听写60秒美剧, 已经坚持1年多了. 每天60秒, 直接啃生肉~

本期我们听乔布斯访谈 The Lost Interview

语言点讲解

1 When I was 12, I called up Bill Hewlett who lived in Hewlett-Packard at the time. And again this dates me.
我12岁的时候, 我打电话给Bill Hewlett, 他当时住在惠普公司. 这又暴露我年龄了

call sb up=call sb=打电话给某人
call up意思和call一样, 听起来更加口语化一些

Hewlett读音是['hjulɪt]
at末尾t失爆, 读作[æ]
at the time连的很紧密, 中间的the很短促

this dates me=这暴露了我的年龄
I remember the moon landing—that dates me, doesn’t it?
The skeleton has been dated at about 2 000 B.C

精校答案

网上要找美剧和电影的字幕并不难, 但字幕常常有错误. 你用有错误的字幕做精听练习, 很容易被带到沟里去. 下边是我听写并精校过的答案, 请放心使用~

1 When I was 12, I called up Bill Hewlett who lived in Hewlett-Packard at the time. And again this dates me.
我12岁的时候, 我打电话给Bill Hewlett, 他当时住在惠普公司. 这又暴露我年龄了

2 But there was no such thing as an unlisted telephone number then, so I can just look in the book and look this name up.
那个时候不存在电话本上查不到的号码, 我直接翻开电话本, 查这个名字即可

3 And he answered the phone, and I said, “Hi, my name is Steve Jobs. You don’t know me, but I’m 12 years old, and I’m building a frequency counter,”
他接了电话, 我说:嗨, 我叫Steve Jobs. 你不认识我. 我12岁, 我正在做一个频率计数器

4 “and I’d like some spare parts.”
我想跟你要一些闲置的零部件

5 and so he talked to me for about 20 minutes.
他跟我讲了大约20分钟的话

6 I will never forget it as long as I live, and he gave me the parts, but he also gave me a job working in Hewlett-Packard that summer.
我有生之年都不会忘记那个电话, 他给我了一些零部件, 同时给了我一份工作, 那个夏天在惠普实习
