Xbfeng

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。

: z7 ~2 {0 h, j: j5 J' 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.
1 B, B" x' c8 h( d
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?
' w% C1 ]3 F/ J/ n1 `6 k2 i- z
M: 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.

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。

) T6 E& `5 `: x7 pM: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.
+ `" S% w; N5 [8 s* \" M0 T/ ~
L: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。

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.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

7 C. H4 b9 b# t! L2 a5 s. @L: 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？

2 o. K5 w- \! g" s5 I( j
; d# B" n6 ?9 {0 Q1 k. O: r8 sL: 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?
6 ^' i  V5 P+ T
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
