M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

5 f' E  p6 P: y; zL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

' V/ V1 N6 z: c5 AM: 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.
4 K' C, Y& h3 F! _
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

+ N; v- E+ Q6 }5 FM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
& ^$ j6 G9 r; ?
; u) S) p! L- tL: 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？

2 E$ C# l, U) x! q7 s& n
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?
0 c7 ~5 a9 U' X( ]# e
- x1 x, u5 c  b4 `# _4 c. v( p" XM: 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.

1 g  l( I2 ^- X& z3 y1 Z9 {7 f  qL: 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。

4 d; [9 }# r/ [0 j: o/ t; O; zM: 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。

. e  K, e- b$ n: N! t' KM: 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.

8 C3 C( i1 f' VL: 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,

$ X5 A; X" b. ^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？
) _; r$ l# @! T6 [; c* [
M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
3 N' C9 W. f1 m/ [4 m
L: 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？
9 l" n! G1 {, N& G2 w* u
# N# c: U" ?9 t/ sM: 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.
6 P/ T- u- o( }) i2 s$ z
7 {% G8 |- o0 K! H: GL: 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 Z; x) h# i4 PM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
. z) O- k6 V1 a( E, `/ Q. c2 E
5 r. h1 \4 ?+ G0 P5 R  |$ ZL: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。
