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。. N$ L a+ {2 t8 r% L7 Y; K

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。) K/ D( G ?0 f+ s9 B2 x2 E
" z8 `) y6 t m. x/ t) c( bM: 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.
