[流行美语]又和大家见面了。Michael这个美国学生今天好象什么事都不太顺当。他的中国同学李华也发现他好象有心事。到底是什么事呢？你听了Michael和李华的对话就知道了。他们在对话中会用到两个美国年轻人常用的说法，一个是to bomb；另一个是to mess up。 5 n- X2 L0 o1 a, v/ n4 A # E I8 G' O, Z e/ QL: Michael, 怎么啦？你好象有心事。: b% E& `% u. ?$ ^2 j, L) R

L: 噢，你怕刚才历史测验会不及格。嗨，没必要，这又不是大考。 Michael，你刚才说什么"bombed my history test"，bomb不是炸弹，或是爆炸吗？你可不要开这样的玩笑，现在大家对安全问题都很敏感。4 k! q x4 \+ \+ w+ b
5 v* i% b* F3 e8 F$ eM: No, I said I bombed my test, that means I did very poorly, and probably will get a very low mark.: J; G3 N3 _ m4 Q0 g

L: 考得不好，分数低，这我都听懂了，就是那个词bomb用在这里有点怪。我想，这就是中文里说的考试考糊了。那除了考试外还能用在哪里呢？ , A% O: H) r1 [3 s4 J# x/ ?/ I, L6 z& w0 V7 L

L: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"? . {) ~: N7 i D; p5 h9 X0 c1 d8 A5 g5 w9 G# h) E" }3 s3 ?

L: 噢，to mess up something还可以指把什么东西弄坏了。昨天，和我同房间的学生问我借自行车，等她还我的时候，自行车的链子断了。我是不是可以说："She messed up my bike"？3 }8 @( h. \- ~8 `2 O: g/ H
