[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。1 n1 @) ^3 v% P, A

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。6 ~$ p) g9 q& r0 \7 T

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？" _6 r5 J5 {6 V3 m* G/ G( n% s

M: Well, sometimes we might say a movie or a play "bombed". That means that no one wanted to see it, and it probably lost a lot of money. ' ]& _. E1 t. d; v6 j. P( ~' d1 S1 v/ y
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"?9 P2 D( p8 [" T- y/ U& T0 L$ _

M: I told them not to put onions on my burger, but they forgot. Therefore I said that they "messed up my order". I can also just say "they messed up." $ H) x# G9 n7 w5 D$ P d - [5 |' b' j8 B% j! f9 L+ T2 S5 W; HL: 噢，你叫他们不要放洋葱，他们忘了。所以，to mess up就是做错了事，对吗？ $ g7 L+ Q.

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 S" v( n: {! Z1 Q
