4 K, G- G5 k+ k) E/ z6 d# GL: 我没事。这个电视剧让人挺伤心的。我一看这种电视剧就会哭，真是 没办法。

% D% Z; d( Y- g; tM: You are such a nerd.

& a+ Y8 d5 A/ E  lL: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
7 J' @, `6 m: w5 x' T6 f
4 R: }. `- y* C+ k2 j1 h+ a; lL: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？

M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.
% ?! H; S' [+ U; t( [' F) s! r
L: 我肯定好多人都叫你a nerd。

M: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.

L: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？
5 ^# A7 Z3 C3 j$ u9 u
7 Y3 g6 ?! [% O9 V* A% O# ?4 cM: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

L: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.
4 |7 P8 g/ n9 G  q! k' Z
L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。
1 e+ q8 w( x( a5 o3 N: `! R1 j* T
( |7 U- ?! E  X% U9 t# _7 f2 oM: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

  @+ z3 d$ U% k0 I  qL: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.
. L1 J; ~& I! W6 c
" ?+ G3 d2 U' P* J& `) H! ?& ?L: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

7 L0 e7 P& x' u7 K6 G- V0 zM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
( g2 H9 X; D8 O  X: f; F" ~; S
L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

1 e# d% y/ _6 O# ~) `M: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.
) P7 P- ^* S! P/ d$ t
L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。

7 s6 p, X( X! x+ @$ `  ^7 X0 kM: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.
/ h- `' |( {+ `2 A! s6 h9 R+ G
+ r$ M6 v; K: J  N9 P& LL: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?
1 {2 Q- N' k) @  m
M: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！

' u$ z9 }3 q0 O- t( RL: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。
% Q/ r7 b0 K7 m/ X  a- `" i4 `
M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.

L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

' r, ~+ g- T" y. z看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
