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。

' E0 a8 k# c; m  VM: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

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.

' V, k! V8 C( g8 ?  z: ]) KL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

* q9 F/ v  k4 bM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

, i( w# t# V4 s! WL: 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？
# t: w0 `( x# o0 D- K. U0 M2 n( `
! d, ?$ h( F( t4 vM: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

( }  O1 M! n* t! t; m, d& E7 QL: 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.
4 K5 v! a( @4 N& Y+ z5 {
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。

% F' H" X) Q' }. K8 M$ BM: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

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。

2 G- E9 p$ D$ }$ c- ~, tM: 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？
6 y, K2 e; |' ^& ~, ~
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

0 P# Y6 }8 M5 w7 w5 bL: 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？

5 q" N& z2 c6 Y& NM: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

  ?' |% [6 v1 \5 W6 V9 n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.
( z0 |9 E6 n: \& J, Z& l/ r
, T( J4 c4 J- p  a  sL: 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?
+ D3 t+ C" a8 s- f; ?5 }
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

M: 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!

L: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。
