流行美语口语 Lesson 35 - wasted & to get a kick

Xbfeng

昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。

L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

  A; H  B5 _8 T0 dM: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.

L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？
3 K, y/ K' m" h& o! |
M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.
$ v4 ~1 m; y' G2 s& g( e
L: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。

M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

: q% h( G# Q8 kL: 你们真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干吗要喝那么多呢？这么喝对你身体不好的。

/ w; Y# ]1 H# a# v/ FM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
# w6 `/ J. G" v: L
L: 中学时的好朋友来看你，一高兴就喝多了，这我可以理解。在中国，老同学见面的时候，我们总是会开个party，往往喝好多酒，可是我们不见得会醉到象你这种程度。

L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

L: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。

L: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.
+ H% ?: n& {, [! l1 |; l4 H
L: 你说什么？你想踢我？

M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

L: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是为了什么事感到很开心。 这个kick跟踢球的kick是同一个字吗？

M: That's right.

L: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

M: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.

L: 这你说得还象样，我才不愿意看见别人难受，我很高兴帮助别人。帮助象你这样的美国学生学中文我就很高兴。

- F* ^: W! _5 D- z' g# sM: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

L: 偶然喝醉一次，看看老的卡通片也不能说自己没有用嘛。你看到你的学生英语有进步，不也让你很高兴吗？

# M: f( y( |. V; D: [! |+ K' _M: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.
1 U; L: ^) D* l6 g
L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展览要不要再去喝个酩酊大醉呀？

7 s. `  A" v& B5 v4 ]M: Arrrgh! Li Hua, you really do get a kick out of tormenting me. I'll never get wasted for the rest of my life. I promise.

L: 我只是开个玩笑而已。不过，我倒是希望你这辈子再也不要喝那么多酒了！

别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。
