英語口語：Horse around 鬧著玩兒
今天Larry和Li Hua在商店里給朋友買生日禮物。
LH: 哎喲，Larry, 你看那邊那兩個小男孩在打架呢。他們家大人怎么也不管吶？
LL: Oh, don’t worry, they’re just horsing around. They won’t hurt each other.
LH: 你要我別擔心，說他們只是在horsing around，HORSE這個詞在英文里不是"馬"嗎？
LL: Yes, in "horse around", "horse" is used as a verb, "to horse around" means "to play or joke with someone". Those two kids were just playing, they were horsing around.
LH: 噢，horse在這里是用作動詞，to horse around意思是"和別人開玩笑、鬧著玩兒"。Larry, 你是說那兩個男孩兒是在鬧著玩兒啊！
LL: Hey! Why did you punch me in the arm?
LH: I’m just horsing around! 嘿Larry, 這個horsing around還可以用在什么地方呢？
LL: Well, sometimes it means the same as "just kidding" or "just joking." Hey, Li Hua, you have something on your shirt...
LH: 什么？我衣服上沾了東西啊？在哪兒呢？我怎么看不見呢？
LL: That’s because I’m just horsing around. There isn’t anything on your shirt. I just wanted to see if you would look.
LH: 噢，原來你又在跟我開玩笑啊。這么說，和別人開玩笑或者是惡作劇，也可以算是horsing around. Hey, Larry, 你看你的鞋帶松了。
LL: Nice try, Li Hua, but I know you’re just horsing around.
LH: 哎喲，我們別光顧開玩笑了，趕快給我朋友挑挑生日禮物吧！
LL: Hey, how about this shirt?
LH: What?! 這襯衫多難看呀！You must be horsing around.
