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。

  E' Z4 ^6 ?- yM: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
9 i  E* O3 h  c7 h; O+ S0 O- W  _6 [
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。+ Y/ N, ^2 \' [2 p2 h
