Xbfeng

昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。

L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

$ `! M$ j( m7 O) Z" ?- \. N2 jM: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.
( E  X5 N( n1 I/ a- l
L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？
- K) x0 W) P) Y  J; `
M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

L: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。

M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.
$ v& u' z' q0 x3 J" p, J1 u: w' W8 E
% v" k; E/ M4 a, p4 [L: 你们真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干吗要喝那么多呢？这么喝对你身体不好的。

+ N9 K( R  U& n4 b' MM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

( c! R! B) K6 c7 u9 N% yL: 中学时的好朋友来看你，一高兴就喝多了，这我可以理解。在中国，老同学见面的时候，我们总是会开个party，往往喝好多酒，可是我们不见得会醉到象你这种程度。
: B2 K; }: Q- z4 j7 {
M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

2 S- y1 S% C+ Y  M# d" s1 O1 mM: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.
  q# D' Z9 y) f! Q
L: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。

- M! Y) w7 B$ C# h# qL: 研究生要缺太多课可不是开玩笑的。得了，我看你还是先洗一个澡，再喝点茶，这样可能会好些。

M: Okay, I'll try.

L: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

* E/ K- t& B8 C; y" u8 h+ eM: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

L: 你说什么？你想踢我？

5 Z+ e  i  @5 e, B$ [3 PM: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

' E! Q. _/ l9 B& jL: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是为了什么事感到很开心。 这个kick跟踢球的kick是同一个字吗？

" I4 ^4 N1 D4 JM: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.

L: 这你说得还象样，我才不愿意看见别人难受，我很高兴帮助别人。帮助象你这样的美国学生学中文我就很高兴。

/ Z! C# c: ?) }3 gM: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

4 H/ }' u6 t' p别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。
