李华是在纽约上大学的中国学生。今天她的美国同窗Michael陪她操练开车，筹备去考驾照。他们在路上几回碰着惊险的情形，尽管这样，李华仍是学到了两个常用语，一个是：cop;另一个是：to freak out.
M：Your driving is getting better, Li Hua. Hey, you'd better slow down. This is a 35 mile per hour zone.
L：这地域每小时只能开35英里呀?我是不是开太快啦?哟，我的天呐，差人车跟在我后面，那怎么办呐?
M：Calm down, Li Hua. Just find a parking lot and stop the car. The cop will follow us, and come over to your window to talk to you.
L：哪儿有泊车的处所呀!行，就停在这里吧!你适才说谁会过来跟我措辞?是差人吗?
M：That's right. "Cop" means police officer.
L：差人要来跟我措辞!我会不会晦气呀?我该怎么办呢?
M：Calm down! Sometimes the cops stop people just to warn them, not to give them a ticket. You weren't going very fast anyway.
L：你说差人可能过来只是警告我一下，不必然会给我罚单呀?但愿如斯，我好象是没有开太快。Michael，你适才说“cops”, 那警车里到底有几个差人呀
M：When I say "the cops", I mean the police in general. I'm not talking about any cop in particular.
L：噢，cop 这个名词用复数的时辰，cops，可以总的指差人，而不是指某个差人。我就把车钤记儿吧。 Michael，我能称号差人“cop”吗?
M：No! The word "cop" is too informal. You should show respect when talking to the cops. Call him "officer", don't call him "cop"!
L：天哪!原本“cop”是很随便的称号，你干吗不早告诉我呀!我可不要惹差人生气!
M：Li Hua, don't worry. I'm sure this isn't very serious.
M：See, Li Hua, I was right. The cop didn't give you a ticket.
L：谢天谢地，他没有给我罚单。他要罚我良多若干好多钱的话，那我就糟糕了。
M：I told you not to freak out. If a cop sees that you are nervous, he will be even more suspicious of you.
L：你告诉我什么?叫我别下车?
M：No, I told you not to "freak out". "Freak out" means to panic or to act crazy and excited.
L：是啊，我经常听到一些人说freak out，原本是指过于感动，显得很是严重。对不合错误?
M：That's right. Actually, I was the one who should have been freaking out!
L：你才该感应严重?为什么?
M：Because this is my car, and you only have a learner's permit. I'd be responsible if you got in trouble.
L：这我就不懂了。是的，这是你的车，我只有一张学开车的许可证。可是，我开车出了问题，为什么差人会怪钠揭捉??你为什么要freak out?
M：Hey! Li Hua, look out for that car!
L：Don't freak out, Michael. 我看见那辆车了。不外，那车差一点就撞到我们了!
M：Oh, man! that was close! That guy is crazy! I wish the cops were here to see that!
L：对，适才是够险的，差人要看到他那么开车，准要给他罚单。不外，今天已经和差人打过交道了，够了。再要跟cops打交道，那我可真是要freak out了。
M：Me too. Now, drive carefully!
今天这两个年青人真是够惊险的。不外，李华学到了两个很是有用的词汇： cop，差人;to freak out，很是严重和感动。
