L: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

* ]2 V; A; U) v& E1 S4 E+ LM: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.

7 ~1 ]" X( n+ j2 O5 X, nL: 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？

# g8 _; u9 }4 U1 e7 kM: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.

" ]" K! f4 U+ p6 `M: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.
2 v) u: G2 S9 b( R6 }
# E9 U/ H3 s& t4 x' I; e3 pL: 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？
* r7 F$ S* C* d$ K, s
M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.
" n( `/ p7 t8 ~& A9 r
0 h& d5 g$ s' c5 W7 NL: 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。

6 Q' a! U4 w, Y" HM: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

. p( W5 E, O$ R! a7 j' |) ]M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

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。

; Q7 m" W4 b& o/ d1 G$ C! _M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
; g. h( c1 N: I+ h2 ~6 K
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。
( W  Y, P4 f2 ]7 J% N
/ g+ K( R3 q' S" [M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
" F# Z7 A4 U. M& f+ n7 A2 L9 `
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。

9 b8 X$ b$ p$ [( `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.

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。

M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.

L: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！

9 q" N) V6 [& ^0 i# cL: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。
: ]2 K2 N8 E. d. n+ y
M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.
. W1 G$ A( k3 l3 i! S) |
3 N! E  p1 o5 ]& f6 V2 A2 t2 G" rL: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

6 c. z9 A6 t/ a1 U% |; h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。
