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。

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!
2 `- W" X% q3 S; ^! ]; I3 h9 ?! ^: ]8 H0 D. O
M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?", C4 D$ Y1 Q; u5 m& w$ ^' f* A

7 n# H/ s* X; M! Z) \L: 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。
& u* C/ ~( h4 j- u3 j! @- l4 E; \- C4 V. F% O$ ]$ ~% ~, M- j3 \
M: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.

6 |# ^9 a# Q4 g4 W2 P! uL: 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。

8 ?- E1 W! i# z. s
L: 对,要是在朋友家感到冷要借一件毛衣,那一般都应该还的。所以,这要看情况,对不对?" ~+ u0 `3 X2 @" B# B6 v& U
