今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。

6 g+ C" f4 `# C; S5 B2 f  mM: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
. G1 f) y0 G4 ^, T) e
L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

M: Yeah, I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Dr. Johnson is teaching this class. I’ve heard she’s really tough.

* @& u, I7 ~3 WL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
! Z2 M- X! @' u4 ~* K
; k4 X4 h* F* w( J/ M2 ML: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是 bummed， 或者是 bummed out， 意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？

M: I’m really bummed that I have to get up so early! I’m also bummed out that Professor Johnson is teaching this class.

L: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。 嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受， 对不对?

3 C0 `* {. h0 dM: Ha ha. Very funny. But you are right, if I got turned down for a date I’d be bummed. I’m also bummed that summer vacation is over.

, B* u" A9 [: p, R! ?L: 嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。 你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到 bummed out。
; `2 E: |( I* ]! x
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

M: Glad class is over! I’m ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.

# t+ D% ^3 u0 a$ Q0 rL: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out， 到底是什么意思？

M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？

: M# V' }. @. `! Q7 N' w9 `M: You normally go someplace calm and peaceful where you can relax. I like to chill out at the cafe with a book sometimes. And I know that you like to chill at the museum.
( t& [2 e  B3 F4 Q
9 ]: A# O3 d. p0 ^L: 打棒球不能说是 chill out。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。 每个人还不一样，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去 chill out?
  G* }* e+ J' Z+ v# q7 \
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

$ ]4 f- ]+ X; z+ gL: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。
