A: 欢迎大家来到这期的美语训练班！ 我是杨琳！
B: 我是Kat! 杨琳，快来说说咱们今天都要学什么？
A: 今天，咱们一起去看看Ryan的健身成果，讨论电话礼仪，学学怎么说把损害控制在最低限度，还要教大家怎么说摇摇欲坠！
B: 损害控制？ For me, you can bribe me with frozen yogurt to forgive just about anything!
A: 哈哈，对对，我们都有过经验啦！ 咱们言归正传，赶快先来进入第一个单元，Learn a Word!
Learn A Word # 1534 teeter
今天我们要学的词是teeter. Teeter is spelled t-e-e-t-e-r, teeter. Teeter 的意思是“摇摇欲坠，摇摆不定”。 尽管欧盟决定出资救市，Spain's banking system is still teetering on the edge of disaster. 西班牙银行系统还是徘徊在灾难的边缘。Japanese media said the Japanese IT parts, materials and finished goods sectors are teetering on the brink of collapse. 日本媒体说，日本的IT业的零件、材料和成品领域都已经游走在崩溃的边缘。在英国曼彻斯特，A police officer pulled the driver from a burning car as it teetered on the edge of a motorway bridge. 一名警察从起火的汽车中拽出了一个司机，当时那辆车已经在高架桥边上摇摇欲坠了。好，今天我们学习的词是teeter, teeter, teeter…
B: This episode really brings back nightmares for me…
A: Why? What happened?
B: Ok…So over the weekend I went home to visit my parents. And my dad and I decided that we need some exercise and started to play touch football in our house. Before we knew it, my mom's favorite vase was teetering right on the edge of the coffee table…then CRASH完蛋啦…
A: OoOoO… you must have had to do some serious damage control!
B: I tried…but more on that later! 咱们先一块来听听怎么用这个damage control吧！
