L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

: J, |. h$ m4 LM: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

0 _, T2 R" D. WL: 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。

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。

M: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
4 ?0 N0 j7 @9 k  |) E
L: 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。

M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.
: b* @1 f$ h/ ?: \$ b) D7 w
L: 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。

M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

L: 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.

/ f& |' ]$ g& |6 ~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。

M: Okay, I'll try.

L: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

- y; B1 B2 w; q( d3 xL: 你说什么？你想踢我？

M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

% c" f, N, G2 B3 dL: 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？

M: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.
2 F1 T0 ~. S* o
L: 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。

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？

M: 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.

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。
