Xbfeng

今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。

M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

) R# h% L0 ]3 \* G% D/ O( I- EL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。
- l& j0 h1 ~3 ]' d$ ?. V
M: Yeah, I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Dr. Johnson is teaching this class. I’ve heard she’s really tough.

5 w9 }; O6 v& z" B* PL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
- w- u/ G7 `  F3 O, N' l
7 `( k& U& Q' V! _7 v* VL: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是 bummed， 或者是 bummed out， 意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？

M: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

L: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。 嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受， 对不对?

M: Ha ha. Very funny. But you are right, if I got turned down for a date I’d be bummed. I’m also bummed that summer vacation is over.
" L$ d7 R: |3 l- a- E3 s. x
L: 嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。 你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到 bummed out。

M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.
* p- A8 ~5 O; I: q$ _
L: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。

& Q+ Y, ^0 Q% O$ N; OM: Glad class is over! I’m ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？
/ l( [4 B! Z1 z- a/ p, u
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

L: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out， 到底是什么意思？
. c! M/ z# o: f5 _* [7 y

/ H& b* A3 q$ ~- N4 G
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

M: You normally go someplace calm and peaceful where you can relax. I like to chill out at the cafe with a book sometimes. And I know that you like to chill at the museum.
' m# w6 i2 F1 J9 v, B
2 K9 c8 a! A* ?' rL: 打棒球不能说是 chill out。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。 每个人还不一样，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去 chill out?
3 b6 X3 x: G. c! d6 a8 ^% U8 }
; a- R" ?$ [* A3 h) W, kM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

L: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。

7 u* N0 c# B0 b& m& hM: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I’m really bummed to have to leave you!
