Jay was an English teacher at a college. He moved to New York City with all the members of his family. Jay was an excellent teacher, so we all missed him very much after he left. It was not long before Jay came back to North Carolina for a short visit. The teacher and students held a small party for him.
At the party, people walked around and talked with each other. I certainly would not give up that good chance to learn English. So I tried to think of all kinds of topics to talk with Gina, another English teacher.
Just before I was about to run out of my topics, suddenly I heard Jay say to others loudly, “I dig New York!” I asked Gina “Is it diffic ult to find a job in New York? Why does Jay have to do heavy work since he is such a good teacher?”
Gina didn’t understand what I said. “Why do you think that?” she asked. “Haven’t you heard him say that he is digging New York? Is he building an underg round passage?” I asked.
When she finally realized what I meant, Gina laughed to tears. She then asked us whether we knew the meaning of “I dig New York”. All of us shook our heads and said no. So Gina asked Jay to explain it to us.
It turns out th at “I dig New York” means “I love New York” in American slang(俚语). Though few people say that now, we still hear it from time to time.
Fill in the blanks according to the passage. Only one word for each blank.
One day at a party, Jay said to somebody. “I dig New York!” I didn’t (71) what he meant. I (72) that he must be doing a heavy job. “Is it really not (73) for a good teacher like him to get a job in New York City?” I asked Gina. “His job is (74) holes in th e city, isn’t it?”
When she realized what I meant Gina laughed and laughed till (75) came out. And then Jay said that it was American slang and it means, “I love New York”.
