今天我们开始播送[流行美语]。在这个节目里，我们要请大家听Michael 和李华的对话，他们俩都是纽约大学的学生。 Michael 是美国人，但是他听得懂中文。他和李华在这个新学期 里不约而同地都选了摄影课。现在是清早7:50，俩人在课堂门口碰到了。请注意他们讲话中用的两个常用语：bummed 和 chill。

M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?
$ R' r: w/ _8 d* K0 {
L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

* q  K1 x8 ^! ?( E1 h' xM: 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.
) J7 ?4 ?5 Y; [9 q: ~
L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
% M3 H/ F; ^' v5 A
: h1 n4 q. u% {; d8 y3 nM: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

( x  o0 T/ ~2 K% i: {) qL: 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.
( Y7 |5 i. z; J7 J9 \1 ?
8 x8 R1 [  s1 @  M  F& E( ]) DL: 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?
- }. S$ f, \' }
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.

8 M! m$ W9 }1 j8 m  iL: 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。
- E) Y/ R4 j# V) G: |: B
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

' l& T% Q4 W6 Z+ x% q# \  y; aL: 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.
3 {# y$ B9 g- g$ `3 i* d
L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？
1 m0 t7 Y( e" }' n. s- I- @) R
M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
8 b' l( _# h) h0 f
L: 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？

M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
0 {# I2 ^5 h  P
( o* m% {0 }. r2 G- @L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

! c) }7 q: E# K* i/ _  QM: 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.
% f* d9 V# S- K: u' m
- J" r6 j3 L5 ^- gL: 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?
3 Q0 B6 q5 ]5 Q  H6 l# I
& f. e& ]9 B# d$ N4 DM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

L: 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。
