L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

. e* F* d" m+ u6 O4 BM: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
2 s- V& c, `; T/ D& e/ m
L: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

. O, q, Y1 p3 W4 \& YM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
  B! F- N3 u3 D, T& e, S# ~+ `$ h9 e
7 }. `' L/ N# k/ e% _# HL: 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。

M: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.

, A0 Y/ l! \" Q* x" C$ aL: 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。

: T- e9 C# n, T2 m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。
