地道美語怎麼說 第45課:頭腦風暴
Jessica在北京學漢語，她的中國朋友要是遇到了不知道用美語怎麼說的詞，就會來請教她。今天是逸華要問的：頭腦風暴。
Jessica:Yihua! your presentation was awesome! I'm really impressed!
YH:謝謝你 Jessica! 做得好，可不是我一個人的功勞！ 我們小組成員坐下來，來了一次頭腦風暴！所以演示才這麼成功。
Jessica:頭腦風暴？What's that?
YH:就是大家坐下來一起討論，集思廣益呀！
Jessica:Oh! I think I know what you are talking about! You guys had a brainstorming session.
YH:Brain, b-r-a-i-n, 大腦； storm, s-t-o-r-m, 風暴。加在一起，brainstorm 就是頭腦風暴嘍！
Jessica:Exactly! Brainstorm basically means to put your heads together in order to come up with good ideas.
YH:put someones' heads together, 把頭放在一起！引伸出來就是集思廣益。就象中文裏說的，三個臭皮匠，賽過一個諸葛亮。
Jessica:That's right! 對了，吳瓊的生日快到了，Let's put our heads together and figure out what we can give her for her birthday.
YH:Good idea! 我知道，吳瓊特別標新立異，所以啊，這生日禮物也得有創意才行。
Jessica:I know how picky she can be... But we can do it! Let's think outside the box and see what we should get him.
YH:Think outside the box? 到盒子外面去找?
Jessica:It basically means to break out of your normal ideas and be creative.
YH:這個說法形象！Think outside the box! 跳出條條框框去想，就是有創意。集思廣義，一定能找到有創意的想法。
Jessica:There you go! Now tell me what you've learned today!
YH:第一：頭腦風暴叫做：brainstorm;
第二，集思廣義，可以說:put ones' heads together;
第三， 創造性思維，叫think outside the box.
