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。 ; O* L4 J2 A( c. e" ^7 D# Q6 {9 B

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。 ! p' F+ [4 Y, O 6 ?3 O, G& v% @/ e5 ~4 WM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.+ U' k$ h! ^) z

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。$ c( ?8 b& P# f4 U: Z/ f U9 K% B( _
