Xbfeng

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?

L: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

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.

L: 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?

& V  O+ x8 i; ?* n- r4 i2 a  a6 o; CM: 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.

( r* X& R$ |3 H- i( j# GL: 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。

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

# \* y2 q, j7 {# w& _3 ~) R* {6 ~3 aL: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

& t. O& ~8 h: A8 N8 A! vL: 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?
  ^  q2 N. h; b
; i" S, ?8 v' ]M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

6 Y6 ~  N# e! n( ~! ^2 FL: 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。
