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。& _! b9 x8 e- I" X

" [2 l3 K8 }3 B# j' a+ [; O  _9 fL: 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。

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。
