1 l& n" ?& s( I$ b3 xL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

- ]- a) X0 i( bM: 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.
' o; R1 l! Z* C7 Z' ?
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
" y) K- Z4 `2 X1 y4 J
$ F; K& f- O( F! R' Z+ t! WM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
2 ~+ {, M; U! Q2 J/ P, Q$ O' B
L: 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？

( l( G; `6 m- U; C. [& i, wL: 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: 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.
7 S  O7 Q# |0 d! U" b# ]0 _  Y$ l
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。

8 Y. Z8 v5 p+ {* G  JM: 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.

. Y, u0 _( b. C- t) CL: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

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？

- `( m7 ~+ d1 U: k- RM: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

" ~% S- V) q3 Y) x! cL: 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？
- T% T# `4 r7 ?( C. y" Z
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.
9 M5 N0 e$ i/ c, c. }! N
1 f) Y' B2 [& A, wL: 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?

& F3 b1 u8 D! T* u, LM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
7 F5 b1 T9 l0 H  m* N
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。
