L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。 ' a( _) z1 `6 u % U9 B2 x. N/ A/ V! Q# g; \M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.. j3 P" H. h8 X& g! S

看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。. A' g$ @" V6 ^; s# ~
