[流行美语]又和大家见面了。Michael这个美国学生今天好象什么事都不太顺当。他的中国同学李华也发现他好象有心事。到底是什么事呢？你听了Michael和李华的对话就知道了。他们在对话中会用到两个美国年轻人常用的说法，一个是to bomb；另一个是to mess up。 # z- F1 P, A+ Y I" j6 m5 f* v6 s6 V4 |, S

L: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"? ) d$ L5 m0 Y% u/ `6 ] T # L/ K" J- T j* T$ F) |M: Sounds like it bombed to me. Remember the play we went to a few weeks ago? The actors were terrible!3 Z, @3 G% u" G) w2 d N5 o% r
