调节,微调LL: Hmmm, I need to do an errand Saturday morning. We may have to tweak our plans a little. LH: Tweak our plans? Tweak这个字的发音有点怪。你的意思是要改变计划吗？ LL: Tweak, may be a funny-sounding word, but it means to adjust something just a little bit. LH: Tweak的意思是稍微作些改动。 那你的意思是说星期六的计划要变喽。 LL: Right, we don't have to change our plans too much. If we just tweak the time a little bit and leave at 11:00, I can finish my errand, and we still have plenty of time to enjoy the exhibit. LH: 没问题。我们把10:30出发改成11点出发就行了。不过我们也不能玩得太晚喽。 LL: Why is that? LH: 我下个星期要在研讨会上宣读一篇论文。论文是写完了，但我还要作一些修改。 LL: If the paper is in English, Li Hua, I can help you tweak it by reading it after we get back tonight. LH: 我是用英文写的， 你要是能帮我修改一下，那真是太好了。 LL: It would be my pleasure, Li Hua. Well, this has been a nice lunch, but I need to get back to work. I've had some ideas about how to tweak the computers at work. LH: 瞧你，想出了修电脑的主意就急着要回去工作了。 你真有把握吗？ LL: I'm not sure. But if I can't tweak it, maybe some one at the software company can. Thanks again for lunch, Li Hua. I'll see you later. LH: 哎，Larry，你的午饭都没怎么吃嘛。 LL: To be honest, it wasn't very good. I think the chef needs to tweak the seasoning. It was kind of bland. LH: 这菜的确是没有什么味道。厨师是该改变他的佐料了。再见，Larry。 Good luck tweaking your computers! 今天李华学到了两个常用语。一个是glitch，意思是技术故障。还有一个是tweak， 意思是作小的改动。
