# N+ N& N; @2 E) Q2 mMichael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。

" b1 a0 {2 I  v" d$ B; o
M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
& d1 t  u  ~" M$ q( D
1 F8 Y. D- T+ d# 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？

M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.

( p2 \, W: ?- A# A8 h6 CL: 我肯定好多人都叫你a nerd。

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.
, a) y: m9 g" x$ {
, _# R- E) x) q4 r! z9 L, V- }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？

M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.
% o& d. o+ M# P3 Q  t+ `, |  J
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。

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

: P9 ?3 m* l% q) ]! J  \6 E/ V+ _$ ML: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.
2 W; F& M' d3 c+ N) D6 u& U0 h
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。

* l" f  Z/ C9 r; z* O, iM: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.

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。
, K; `6 i, U9 i# F2 s) B: Z# k4 a
M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
( r+ a+ O! ?9 P8 [# I
, f) v' Q9 O9 J. wL: 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。
: @$ ]; n9 N. U) Y, x
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.
: \( \% I1 u7 j1 `3 V: N
( _! b8 r* x# s# f! y4 M+ Q9 B' ZL: 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.
- k( ]. U2 n  K+ f5 c
* A4 R4 w% f2 }- SL: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?
& t" r, ]. v* a
6 Y( \) D( T6 o" R9 O$ C: JM: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！
9 H; q) b- z) Z; T3 y2 a( c
L: 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。

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.
  Y3 T, z. X* c  ]# Z1 ]
L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

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。
