L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。 7 a" t. m' g2 G6 j# Q$ G3 l0 ~( J8 P; f" _

L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。 , v# k5 s4 a4 r7 C) ?9 o ( {( J' j ]% w; @( mM: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry?

看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。: @7 y) X2 S$ U( F X5 o: p+ W1 Q
