Michael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。 3 F" m( a; N. W# \' D+ m4 e4 ^9 u/ r; X

L: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？& b5 G/ C& }* Z- F/ s6 o

L: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？% |2 @" Q) e5 K( r+ |. n w# I

L: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。 + u: O8 |9 u2 I3 R; i4 E; j/ c9 x6 c9 O- p( s) n) h

L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。5 z- w& r% u9 j, Y5 K- M# I
3 c5 ~4 L3 w+ vM: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd. 4 Y0 J2 X, I1 c9 ` 5 c; v8 u+ n" p) q* B8 F3 W8 tL: 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。 7 j) s+ I- T% N, q) E4 @6 V5 k* A& J

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。 & H! Y5 o% A- Z& u; D: T# x6 s' b* }
M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says. " @0 ]9 j3 R; L2 q4 }" u6 Q. }1 s# D7 o
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。 2 Q: X% d# l4 u( J* D . ]0 q* y; ? l1 I! O9 j; O4 HM: 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.6 y# k8 n* G% x& W, M# \

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。) `9 G) {9 K- M/ S/ C+ S
