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。 / a' O6 h7 P! _5 m1 I! O9 s" [" h) f9 C- Q/ f9 s3 h3 W! z% F

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。 " G% k H$ `9 i0 N$ o0 S 1 y- T/ @3 ?2 x) YM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it. * v5 E( |/ w6 L2 g( O r' |. {9 g( |+ q
