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。

/ @5 X8 X& f2 ?M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
3 r% m* K1 Z# s+ l' ?; v
' ]% C$ A/ x3 oL: 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。
