M: Hey, Li Hua, what are you doing here? You taking this class too?

! l. q( F4 s, X! |; o+ \) EL: 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.

L: 嗨，Michael, 什么是 bummed? 我记得Bum 不是指无家可归的人吗？
4 i9 {1 n, v& ]! q, E, p
M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

$ R8 h; X6 o8 r; ?$ P( W/ b; |% n. s) }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?

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.

! T" B) V  m( g- DL: 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: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

L: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

. f) F/ _" e+ p7 a4 s, KL: 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."
# j; l) m# i0 b# M+ f
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。

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.
. F. C$ L: j5 _7 ]3 w: `$ q/ r( p
6 C7 [& n+ w# lL: 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?
; ~9 t( @) y" Y
M: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.

4 y) D8 \! k- \$ M" G2 l9 LL: 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。

/ u$ |' d2 F3 X8 ZM: Sounds great! Ah, look at the time. I need to go meet my friend at the bookstore. Sorry that I have to go, I’m really bummed to have to leave you!

0 d7 M6 D- ~4 V8 HL: 得了，你要去书店跟朋友一起买书，你就走吧，别说什么跟我分手很难受这种话。走吧，下回我们到别的地方去玩。
