" O7 N/ q: J1 `( d0 [0 bL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

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.

. W- z$ Y# ^& \3 j3 P- RL: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？

% J& J1 g) ?+ f* z4 hM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.
7 n" z, Y) e- F2 M2 n
& u# k0 Z( r5 U, BL: 噢，你看，就这一个字就把我弄糊涂了。原来是 bummed， 或者是 bummed out， 意思是不高兴，感到烦恼。嗨，Michael, 你刚才说什么来着？

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.

3 G# u+ V" z& I- P" P' D5 C" IL: 现在我清楚了，你是说要那么早起床实在叫你不高兴， Johnson博士教这门课也让你不高兴，因为她很严格。 嗨，要是女同学拒绝你的邀请，那你就会更难受， 对不对?
0 n6 C# V; @9 }8 J0 O2 e/ T
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，要是遭到女同学的拒绝，你肯定会垂头丧气的。 你连暑假结束也会感到烦恼。不过，这个单词很有用。我希望学期结束时，我不会因为分数不好而感到 bummed out。
& H2 g( @  y3 i4 `( H
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

+ d2 q2 u1 I7 ?4 RL: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。

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？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,

" M8 L; n% L1 g1 aL: 噢，chill 或者chill out 在这里是指休息。刚才你还说开学前没有机会 chill out， 到底是什么意思？
& @5 R( x$ y2 e2 {/ w

! x! |3 i5 E9 C$ Y那你能说去打棒球，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.
. W0 ^) X! X. L4 y$ u
L: 打棒球不能说是 chill out。不错，要到比较安静的地方才能休息。 每个人还不一样，你喜欢坐在咖啡馆里看书，你知道我喜欢到博物馆去。能不能说到酒吧间去 chill out?
1 t" ~1 W$ A% e& @
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

# m( i4 g1 `4 }2 u3 |. tL: 对，要是酒吧间人不多，也不闹，那就能这样说。这个单词太好了。谢谢你教我。我想今晚我到我的朋友家去 chill out。
