现在大家可能都已经很熟悉Michael和李华了吧!他们俩都在纽约上大学。纽约有许多酒吧都是爱尔兰移民开的。今天Michael要带李华去看一个酒吧。Michael在讲话时会用两个常用语:to bum和turn-off。4 v( n, C; I% Y' W$ t  X* c( D$ Z

L: 随便我要什么都行呀!那好,就来一小杯。对了,你刚才说要是我不在意的话,你想bum a couple of dollars, 那是什么意思啊?

L: 原来你要问我借几块钱!! k/ u4 @, b7 u; j

6 ]9 p- l9 D0 x* {  \* j# KM: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
! o" `; E- c! g! r+ E
. \2 G4 B# E9 i/ ~5 v& x8 gL: 噢,在问别人借大的,象汽车之类的东西时,不能用bum这个字,bum 只能用在问人借小东西的时候。7 }8 H1 b3 o1 ^  k

L: 这很重要,因为在这种情况下,我们中国人就不说借了,我们大概会说:给一颗糖吧。

M: You are right Li Hua. But if you feel cold at a friend's home and you asked to bum a sweater, then you would return it when you were going to leave.

各位听众,今天李华从Michael 那里学到了两个常用语,一个是: to bum,意思是借钱或其他东西;另一个是:a turn-off,意思是让人讨厌的地方。这次就到此结束,下次节目再见。
