[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。 ' K, A8 E5 q' J M# W! r/ P7 Y9 a. O- f, z% d) Q* x

2 U _2 R" A+ J9 `& _L: 噢，你怕刚才历史测验会不及格。嗨，没必要，这又不是大考。 Michael，你刚才说什么"bombed my history test"，bomb不是炸弹，或是爆炸吗？你可不要开这样的玩笑，现在大家对安全问题都很敏感。 * F/ o) h5 ?: W( V# t% K . E8 G* Z6 x/ X. GM: No, I said I bombed my test, that means I did very poorly, and probably will get a very low mark.$ N( S P7 G) \

M: Well, sometimes we might say a movie or a play "bombed". That means that no one wanted to see it, and it probably lost a lot of money.; }( ~; [ Q7 _3 x3 T/ M
" E! p- \7 S9 t! a: |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"?; Y# `% e5 c' _$ {

L: 噢，to mess up something还可以指把什么东西弄坏了。昨天，和我同房间的学生问我借自行车，等她还我的时候，自行车的链子断了。我是不是可以说："She messed up my bike"？; [ e$ ?8 ~$ n% F# m5 I) i
