Michael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。- Y1 c! D: B; Q' m$ E( W

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。/ A! S9 _4 Z2 b

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.: [ l7 E& y, n% ^" G/ f
: k& A3 D& r5 j1 G0 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。 # w5 T! v6 L# e5 u. d2 ] % g* r!

% b' P* O; Y8 S7 B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。8 E) O+ V% {( H5 n" P
