LH: 好啊。Larry, I really hope you get back on your feet soon.
LL: You...you hope that I will get well soon? But I'm not even sick...
LH: 可是你脸色好差喔。
LL: That's not true. Ohhh...ughhh...what is that smell??
LH: 有不好闻的味道吗？在哪里？
LL: Li Hua! You didn't shower the whole time you were in the hospital did you? I can smell your B.O.
LH: B.O.? 你在说什么啊？我可是天天洗澡呢！
LL: But that smell...B.O. is body odor. I don't think you showered, Li Hua.
LH: 你说我有体臭？！怎么可能呢？我真的每天都清洗呢。
LL: Then what's that smell?
LH: 我真的不知道你在说什么。难道……
LL: See?! You didn't shower!
LH: 如果不是我的话，那一定是你！
LL: It cannot be me. I shower everyday and I put on cologne this morning. Li Hua, maybe you're not back on your feet yet. You can't even remember if you showered or not.
LH: 怎么这样说。我只不过是手骨折，记性并没有变差啊。And no, I do not have B.O.
LL: Fine then. But hey, you've learned two slang expressions today! Back on your feet and B.O. do you know how to use each?
LH: 嗯。B.O. 就是体臭的意思。For example: Larry had such horrible B.O. that I almost passed out. Larry的体臭难闻到我差点昏过去。
LL: I do not have horrible B.O.! You were the one who smelled like...
LH: 举个例子嘛，干嘛那么认真。那么back on your feet是康复的意思。我可以说，My hand is back on my feet, 我都康复了。
LL: You used B.O. correctly. But the phrase, back on your feet, refers to a person. You cannot say your hand is back on its feet. Instead you should say that you, the person, are back on your feet.
LH: 喔。To be back on your feet是形容康复的人，而不是形容受伤的部位。所以我得说，I am back on my feet.
LL: That's right. But oh, that smell! It's okay, Li Hua. You can tell me if you didn't shower in a while. I understand. I won't mind.
LH: 可是真的不是我的B.O.啊。啊！我知道了！一定是这个！
(Li Hua holds out a bag of food.)
LL: Oh my goodness! What is that?
LH: 这是臭豆腐！其实很好吃的，而且又香。你是因为没吃过所以不习惯它的味道。
LL: Stinky tofu? Why do you have stinky tofu?
LH: 喔。刚才爸妈来过了。知道我很爱吃臭豆腐，就带来给我吃的啊。来，你也尝一块。
LL: Phew! Thanks but no thanks. I don't want to make people think I have terrible B.O. But hey, I'm sure glad to see that you are back on your feet!
今天李华从Larry那儿学到两个常用语，一个是back on your feet, 表示一个人“恢复健康”；另一个是 B.O.（body odor）, 也就是“体臭”的意思。
