L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！
; N) L, l/ P; E, J8 L* k
M: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.
$ Q; s! i8 S) R3 ]
L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

4 u% C2 z; A, F; z0 a6 jM: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.
2 y4 W2 z6 _0 y/ m, d7 B0 n7 k
L: 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.

4 T, d# O+ D) P7 o8 bL: 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。

: B$ l4 v8 m* NM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

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.

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。

. f6 }& g7 w8 t( s3 D4 H9 H8 V0 MM: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.

: S- h; ^& ~1 F& B1 r9 PL: 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.

L: 你说什么？你想踢我？
; @0 I: U  l+ Q7 s: P# j. }1 L
M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

L: 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: That's right.

L: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

& G7 y8 P! P  w5 @; b  ^; W$ TM: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.
( \: X2 e. O  y: U( k' t' c
+ Y1 l: E9 b+ b) m& x, e- E/ CL: 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。

3 H$ J2 |" [" [' m: `' \$ Y, S8 x( }M: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

6 K9 |2 A: v( k) z; w% d4 fL: 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？
" \0 W2 Q/ k) g0 {8 ^
M: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

+ t; r" u1 X* |L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展览要不要再去喝个酩酊大醉呀？

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.

L: 我只是开个玩笑而已。不过，我倒是希望你这辈子再也不要喝那么多酒了！

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。
