流行美语口语 Lesson 35 - wasted & to get a kick

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。

L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

M: 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？
& o$ R1 w& T, l" H, K
; ^  I. [# V7 h4 _  i' S8 oM: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

4 ~- z& m7 E3 ]2 j4 DL: 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。
& v7 L+ A; [) j) E# K6 D, F
M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

L: 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。

9 R( n- P5 D& K' r: Y8 s4 L) aM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
7 q- W7 I: V$ Z# _
7 o+ r( W. D# U; _; V7 HL: 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。
$ u  n+ u* V8 Q; @* s" L
M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

: [) f5 L; w5 D( jL: 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。

% j, ~2 O1 L+ K  k) _M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

+ k% P7 {. ?! E0 N: p% o3 OL: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。

M: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.
: g1 A  g) [' v7 U8 R( d3 u$ d
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。

9 q/ P5 M+ U3 O; JM: Okay, I'll try.

1 P  ]4 k+ V6 [) E& z6 P* uL: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

  r. `- x3 \; Q4 a7 DM: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

L: 你说什么？你想踢我？

* L2 y* e# {$ Q1 G7 V* ]M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.
2 v( G( V8 F! Y5 J
1 Q# L( ~0 J  H+ d1 d* t# ^L: 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？

2 [7 Y- Z/ E4 v/ E$ r" SM: That's right.
6 Q, ~& M8 {; Y& R0 H6 I
L: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

0 `$ ^2 b- H' N. R0 B8 l0 a3 aL: 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。

$ ~5 t  _/ e8 h1 V( ?M: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.
5 i3 T' M& i( y; q: x
L: 偶然喝醉一次，看看老的卡通片也不能说自己没有用嘛。你看到你的学生英语有进步，不也让你很高兴吗？

  j; W  s! B4 r; |7 V. qM: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

: V* G. _% y% b7 h5 oM: Arrrgh! Li Hua, you really do get a kick out of tormenting me. I'll never get wasted for the rest of my life. I promise.

+ N, W# y( e& b  r& x# G! ?( kL: 我只是开个玩笑而已。不过，我倒是希望你这辈子再也不要喝那么多酒了！
% V- k( Y# w1 `
+ d3 c7 ~# f; C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。
