[流行美语]又和大家见面了。Michael这个美国学生今天好象什么事都不太顺当。他的中国同学李华也发现他好象有心事。到底是什么事呢？你听了Michael和李华的对话就知道了。他们在对话中会用到两个美国年轻人常用的说法，一个是to bomb；另一个是to mess up。 ; U+ M) v$ z# ~' M1 `8 k- s* I1 x# G3 F

L: 噢，你怕刚才历史测验会不及格。嗨，没必要，这又不是大考。 Michael，你刚才说什么"bombed my history test"，bomb不是炸弹，或是爆炸吗？你可不要开这样的玩笑，现在大家对安全问题都很敏感。 3 J1 a% x, A) T9 O+ _! J* u0 H9 |6 i

L: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"?& ?- d- m. d* K: D2 J/ W$ Z' H' E2 S
