现在大家可能都已经很熟悉Michael和李华了吧!他们俩都在纽约上大学。纽约有许多酒吧都是爱尔兰移民开的。今天Michael要带李华去看一个酒吧。Michael在讲话时会用两个常用语:to bum和turn-off。- u6 @% ?2 S/ b+ ?  ]

5 x+ D* x& z9 `9 sM: Yes. But don't use this word for big things. For example, you would not ask your friend, "Can I bum your car?"
- a" M( D0 Y" K) _+ r
' M% u+ `( f3 k+ u5 B/ QL: 噢,在问别人借大的,象汽车之类的东西时,不能用bum这个字,bum 只能用在问人借小东西的时候。

( j, V: @% W8 g) H各位听众,今天李华从Michael 那里学到了两个常用语,一个是: to bum,意思是借钱或其他东西;另一个是:a turn-off,意思是让人讨厌的地方。这次就到此结束,下次节目再见。
