M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
- Y6 @' Z$ i5 Y
4 l# L0 C, G! ZL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

8 A  y1 H% {$ n+ t+ @4 a  QM: 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.

+ G# H0 r, H# k+ n; JL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
- h4 k  X4 Q/ ^5 r8 C
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

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？

2 E* n& b% s4 Q' D2 L+ B% s; YM: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

8 `5 v2 j  U' ^4 `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?
/ h; G" Q; f6 b3 A
+ l1 z" L* c1 D0 l0 u  EM: 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 d9 C- \. w% p0 @7 eL: 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。

3 J( \1 b! A4 z4 }5 n# m' s) bM: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.
& A( l2 o7 M% B, M& f0 m
6 y) S0 d4 b  K$ vL: 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。

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.
2 i+ R1 `& \7 p: e9 G
L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

% h3 v# E& L7 s" f; T! qM: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

; q2 N* J  c0 e# O! RL: 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？
( y% z# [7 d  `, Q" r+ P  @$ Y
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。

* s; K5 v+ l5 N  |那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

. v( s* j3 r1 _" WM: 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.

5 R3 s4 t5 c  x: }9 AL: 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?
# M0 O1 @' E% x- ]$ g3 K5 h
8 s: _2 I' z. {) nM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
  M3 ^3 N" A: f# w: l% Y/ ~
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。

. h& X' L% R0 @8 H, }9 J- VL: 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。
