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。 6 o$ e! |5 z! j# F2 x ; g& \- u& x- r7 vL: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！& ~; c& }- k3 z9 a1 ~

# X5 p4 L, s$ i6 a1 o6 ~3 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。) `- T( @. |5 Y
