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？

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。

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。

! [, _$ v8 J# B3 {' \" H- tM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
, p- n  c" ^+ r9 V
# U7 a* w  K& a2 oL: 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。

+ Q5 Q4 ~- o# ]8 t0 e. @5 SM: 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.

1 u" U$ b9 m2 ?+ |& Z; VL: 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。

) t7 a% ~1 T* u! W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。
