因为以前总是在其他同事家做中餐吃，所以这次周末大家都提议上外教 Lawrence 家去聚会，让他露一手儿。一听说让他做饭 Lawrence 连忙摇头“I'm such a lousy cook that I usually eat out.” (我的厨艺糟透了，所以我通常在外面吃。)
这一句里的关键词就是“lousy” ['laʊzi], 大家一定要记好这个词儿，在口语中它太实用啦，如果你想形容某人对于某事不在行，或者什么东西太糟糕了，通通都可以用上这个 lousy 呢~ 结果，同事们吃完了 Lawrence 做得西餐后就说了一句“Wow, the food here is really lousy.” (哇，你做的食物还真是很难吃耶......)
