L: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"? 7 l. L, x- ?- S+ R& U$ x+ v # s! S- i: W+ N& [3 ~M: Sounds like it bombed to me. Remember the play we went to a few weeks ago? The actors were terrible!; x: q, {# M" F, Z4 d9 T" c7 W

bomb 和 mess up，俺好像是看明白什么意思了。可俺平时接触的，都是社会的下层。同样的意思，底层们怎么说？ 试试 screw up 或者 f**k up。 # B* x- x: a* N, _ ' A: N" ?7 p5 {2 e. L“ I think I just bombed my history test. ” -- I screwed up my history test. E% Q- t+ D8 h# ?* A/ n
