) x* |1 c0 y7 VL: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

9 q  L( g& m8 S4 L* Z) HM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

# {" C; I, J1 u2 n. ]M: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.

7 G0 T# b( [. }! W8 x" Z7 [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。

M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.
2 V: z4 Z* Y) U
( P" B  {; r2 l! \L: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

8 T& R7 x! k  T, U6 a) Z0 f- n- P/ HL: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。

5 m7 m% b) Q/ W: L' {: y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。
