Michael和李华已经从华盛顿返回纽约。今天是星期六,他们一起到纽约的 Meadowlands去看冰球。Michael和李华这两个大学生,一个讲英文,一个讲中文,旁边的人听起来很奇怪,可是他们自己已经习惯了这种方式。今天他们在谈话中会用两个常用语:keep cool和screw up。% z5 O) ~1 i. c  |. X: B

' a5 i& m% `2 LL:Michael,谢谢你带我到Meadowlands来看冰球,Meadowlands可是有名的地方呐!而且我从来还没有看过冰球呢!# z" c: \4 D8 R) @, D

, v) f) ?  n$ A6 g0 j/ ^9 GL:是啊,他们已经开始推推攘攘,真的打起来了。人们都说冰球比赛有时会很粗暴,但是才开始五分钟就打架,这可是不多见。2 l5 ^1 U" E* I

% A' y! n+ b$ CM:Li Hua, that's not what I meant. Keep cool means to calm down。Keep, means to hold and cool, meaning cold.1 _9 M+ r. ~6 g' ?/ {# j2 L
' ~2 S" D$ s" B
L: 噢,keep cool就是要冷静一点, 你是说这些球员不要火气那么大,需要保持冷静。对,他们要是老打架,最好的球员就会被禁止打球的。
* t; D! o6 }; o( q. x

6 T& J" X7 N0 Y, [4 K
4 ~. U# i- [3 Z0 O; cL:我才不会忘记上星期的事呐。那个教授给我期中考试打那么低的分数,我当然要跟他争嘛。

L:"Screw up"? 我不懂,这是什么意思?7 C  g5 X/ x! X: V$ R. x, w' d
' J# M* ~1 H0 e0 i9 p' |
M:"Screw up" means not to play well. The home team is certainly messing up.

" f* S  F# I" }4 i: K% LM:No, it can be used to describe a lot of things. For example, I screw up on tests all the time.
4 n3 [" D5 I2 p3 x+ Q, x+ O( e/ p" Y* H5 T3 K- ], K
L:噢,你考试老考糟也能用screw up来表示呀!这么说,"screw up" 可以用的范围很广。 要是说一个人工作没有做好呢?4 j2 k1 x/ e$ ^1 }, U. f$ ~

7 N0 F& |. e' `# fM:He screwed up at work.8 p; s4 G, a& g! Q

李华今天从Michael那儿学到了两个常用语,一个是:keep cool,意思是:冷静一些,别太激动;另一个常用语是:screw up, 意思是把事情弄糟了。今天的[流行美语]就学习到这里,我们下次再会。
