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。 Q" [ @0 c9 z2 W0 M- H/ b" X7 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。 8 t( G0 ^; @/ a m 5 \! p. F+ ?4 `9 E D. \. LAudio as following: 9 q4 r/ }( ^ a4 [ d! c' U! Y! ?0 G1 ^# X
