在這個(gè)節(jié)目里，我們要請(qǐng)大家聽(tīng)Michael 和李華的對(duì)話，他們倆都是紐約大學(xué)的學(xué)生。Michael 是美國(guó)人，但是他聽(tīng)得懂中文。他和李華在這個(gè)新學(xué)期里不約而同地都選了攝影課?，F(xiàn)在是清早7:50，倆人在課堂門(mén)口碰到了。請(qǐng)注意他們講話中用的兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)：bummed 和chill。
M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
L：對(duì)，我選了攝影課?？墒沁@節(jié)課那么早，我討厭起大早。
M: 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.
L：嗨，Michael，什么是bummed？我記得Bum不是指無(wú)家可歸的人嗎？
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
L：噢，你看，就這一個(gè)字就把我弄糊涂了。原來(lái)是bummed，或者是bummed out，意思是不高興，感到煩惱。嗨，Michael，你剛才說(shuō)什么來(lái)著？
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.
L：現(xiàn)在我清楚了，你是說(shuō)要那么早起床實(shí)在叫你不高興，Johnson博士教這門(mén)課也讓你不高興，因?yàn)樗車(chē)?yán)格。嗨，要是女同學(xué)拒絕你的邀請(qǐng)，那你就會(huì)更難受，對(duì)不對(duì)？
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.
L：嘿，我可了解你，要是遭到女同學(xué)的拒絕，你肯定會(huì)垂頭喪氣的。你連暑假結(jié)束也會(huì)感到煩惱。不過(guò)，這個(gè)單詞很有用。我希望學(xué)期結(jié)束時(shí)，我不會(huì)因?yàn)榉謹(jǐn)?shù)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.
L：我當(dāng)然知道Johnson博士有多嚴(yán)格。好吧，下了課我們?nèi)W(xué)生中心休息一下。
M: 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？你說(shuō)上完課很高興，但是為什么一上午你會(huì)發(fā)冷呢？
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
L：噢，chill或者chill out在這里是指休息。剛才你還說(shuō)開(kāi)學(xué)前沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)chill out，到底是什么意思？
M: I said: "I haven't had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
L：原來(lái)你是說(shuō)：過(guò)去幾天為了準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)學(xué)而沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)休息。那你能說(shuō)去打棒球，休息一下？
M: 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.
L：打棒球不能說(shuō)是chill out。不錯(cuò)，要到比較安靜的地方才能休息。每個(gè)人還不一樣，你喜歡坐在咖啡館里看書(shū)，你知道我喜歡到博物館去。能不能說(shuō)到酒吧間去chill out?
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
L：對(duì)，要是酒吧間人不多，也不鬧，那就能這樣說(shuō)。這個(gè)單詞太好了。謝謝你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去chill out。
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!
L：得了，你要去書(shū)店跟朋友一起買(mǎi)書(shū)，你就走吧，別說(shuō)什么跟我分手很難受這種話。走吧，下回我們到別的地方去玩。
M: Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends'. See you later!
L：我今晚在朋友家肯定會(huì)玩得很高興，Bye!
Michael和李華在對(duì)話里用了兩個(gè)常用語(yǔ)，一個(gè)是：bummed或者是bummed out，意思是不高興，煩惱；另一個(gè)是：chill或者是chill out，意思是休息，放松，或者玩。
