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。, A) Y( A' m& D7 z' g$ u

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。 * Y# k% z, v& b9 y( q8 q! o 8 N ^8 P4 R, m8 o( W: nAudio as following: 3 \3 E* v4 e5 x, c# i% C9 Q
