Xbfeng

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。

! x2 Q4 v+ h+ K% a3 B$ _L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

+ W( F0 a( }3 p& hM: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.

L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？
& A! [- Q* g; S( v1 R7 h
M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

L: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。

M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

+ g- P# `( b! [8 w8 Y4 N0 ?" AL: 你们真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干吗要喝那么多呢？这么喝对你身体不好的。

M: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

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。
7 K1 X# R9 K$ u& V/ V7 R: `2 ?
M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.
3 H5 J& K( l- p% h* e6 A
L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

$ k2 k  d7 u7 gM: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

' h/ s6 {& x$ SM: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.
' u4 k# w6 ~5 [4 J
L: 研究生要缺太多课可不是开玩笑的。得了，我看你还是先洗一个澡，再喝点茶，这样可能会好些。

* t- s. u; Z: w% z: x# [6 hL: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是为了什么事感到很开心。 这个kick跟踢球的kick是同一个字吗？

M: That's right.

9 F7 R3 `& Y9 @, u( KL: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

M: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.

( i8 g% o  f$ O9 W0 QL: 这你说得还象样，我才不愿意看见别人难受，我很高兴帮助别人。帮助象你这样的美国学生学中文我就很高兴。

4 Y. b) X9 h, s6 l7 A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。
