现在大家可能都已经很熟悉Michael和李华了吧!他们俩都在纽约上大学。纽约有许多酒吧都是爱尔兰移民开的。今天Michael要带李华去看一个酒吧。Michael在讲话时会用两个常用语:to bum和turn-off。, e0 F. L2 D# @$ s: G7 }$ l, b

M: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
9 Q* y8 m8 D! `7 q7 C# O6 a& I3 M! l. H9 S( }3 p' F# a
L: 噢,在问别人借大的,象汽车之类的东西时,不能用bum这个字,bum 只能用在问人借小东西的时候。) g) G: M* i# ?# Q

+ v6 i% \0 e* G6 vL: 对,要是在朋友家感到冷要借一件毛衣,那一般都应该还的。所以,这要看情况,对不对?2 S( U2 A5 P6 s. e; a) ]

, n# b. C7 X+ s各位听众,今天李华从Michael 那里学到了两个常用语,一个是: to bum,意思是借钱或其他东西;另一个是:a turn-off,意思是让人讨厌的地方。这次就到此结束,下次节目再见。
