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？

% q) }- \  |6 LL: 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。

1 n" f3 l, S* pM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

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。

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。
