Xbfeng

Michael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。

M: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying?

L: 我没事。这个电视剧让人挺伤心的。我一看这种电视剧就会哭，真是 没办法。

M: You are such a nerd.

L: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.

5 F2 E8 `9 @7 j7 }7 [9 gL: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？

0 a; S) a- U" v& T' QM: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.

3 B2 Z$ U: h. f
L: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？

/ ^7 U( {( b, P  f; [, XM: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

; t3 W1 D5 k# x1 k$ jL: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。

) w! k' A7 I$ g5 a* x  T0 P) Y/ [M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

2 A: E3 ]5 Y' Q1 eM: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.

8 b9 \) L/ m& C5 _. TL: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.

L: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

( n. k  Q# c6 M- K' PM: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.
  h1 k* R6 k" p; t. C: u
; }" I8 Q" R1 {L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。

M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.

. r& z  G+ x5 z% G$ F1 XL: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

, I# E5 W* D1 P5 c! Z: z; S/ jM: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！

& u0 L. K# c) [L: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。

  V- n/ z( Y" j! J# E+ |" _+ oM: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.

$ t* ^" a" g0 Y4 l  SL: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

: R. H9 V9 E# j' }+ \( W9 E0 b看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
