Xbfeng

今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。

  u& a: A. \2 ^  w2 E; UM: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
6 W& V+ C8 M2 q
L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

0 o% T; Q) j. W, fM: 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.
  R; r  v. _/ Q! s1 Q
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

& G) V2 g. y' ^! c; O3 l1 s* v! bM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

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？
; N7 m( N  c0 t- t, l  }: C
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.

! \: U% k5 y1 H& D8 i' H7 e7 i# YL: 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?
- o: V$ M" [: m4 D( v) j0 Y2 P- |
4 [* d2 W7 `' p; z- M: }M: 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.

/ A1 I8 H4 p. [& iL: 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。

M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

& P1 R* N& R# C- @' e  jM: 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.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？
( V) {2 Y' ~' l' y
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

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？

6 `' U, f( a& t/ ^' r- @2 bM: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
- s( e2 {: J: ~5 Y) q3 W7 ^
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？

( C$ o% G# Z  `3 i! WM: 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.
) o5 X( O8 o6 b& F2 O
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?

& f* ~, X( ?) k9 n* H0 gM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
' t( c, |! v" f( y  W2 C- p/ n
. m% E+ h2 ?' g. c1 N+ aL: 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。
3 e  @' Z" V' k5 [8 |. l
M: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I’m really bummed to have to leave you!

9 r6 p& [& F+ W, q" ^L: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。

M: Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends’. See you later!
- W; d- d) S: \( _; I3 c
L: 我今晚在朋友家肯定会玩得很高兴， Bye!
