- _1 I0 t5 \1 _& k$ iM: 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.

L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

% K' N' [" J' q4 M1 RM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

$ a) X2 ^# `# m# J  V8 LL: 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？

( Z; ?' T9 }4 p$ H) E5 t+ RL: 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?
$ z" ^/ j7 S* d( w$ F4 x+ q
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.

1 \' _; Q1 o$ a+ 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。

. O! ]9 |0 h5 ?: L8 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。
( T* m* Q. G4 Y& \8 y
M: 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？
! N/ p) f/ [! f$ b8 a$ e! ]
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

* n' R( ]* m: O8 g) [2 j$ }9 G3 {& X; TL: 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？
4 H. W* u& F) }( k, [2 K/ b
M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

6 d! V/ P4 O1 X1 @9 S1 i' j+ W% X
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.
. d# l; V% S9 y3 K
L: 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?
) A. ]) Z+ C- }! Y' C, O4 o0 d( t1 a
M: 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。

2 {/ u+ i/ R) r: ]+ |# m2 G, @. }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。
