4 Y# q; S( N7 |) I0 M% q7 t# D9 d0 ]L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

5 ]" m% g" h7 s* G% q  hM: 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.

! q7 }6 s) F4 i5 m2 rL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

; g; g1 `- W- MM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
/ t6 ?' D7 _+ ]+ o
L: 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.

0 W7 ]& Y6 q( V+ I: t0 q; W1 JL: 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?

& y7 G5 }5 K  T" Y" U& |# UM: 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.

4 k1 ~4 U! O5 p, U/ t1 |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 x& v2 Q4 G9 e
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

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。

0 h3 T6 x2 X+ `1 I- u$ HM: 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.

1 I# ?" s7 k, L, uL: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

8 g5 i2 a& t$ PM: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

2 i+ q0 s% D5 {3 f4 x5 vL: 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."
7 v% B8 S8 n0 |& \* ^1 b: }
3 s) S* g+ Y' z- ]1 e) u* OL: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？
, M' P% t, a6 J, p9 |: l/ s/ b
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.
4 ~* ?- p5 Z: T. a
! l9 [' g0 |% p. b' _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?

& h+ H1 X  y3 i$ g) n% U* L% T" mM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
# m6 p  A& B: N' ^  T% x# a2 |" R. }
