昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。 0 L x* C9 N! R3 j! S( u3 S. X4 U" e/ V

别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。 : X4 V9 e, u* O, F ! i7 O* M+ ^) R) ~2 [Audio as following: " d1 V- ]& F5 l/ {1 T2 h/ S
