1 }/ V) A7 ]5 @" c' V3 N0 lMichael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?
1 [! X" s9 A* Q: G
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？

; g9 \1 R1 w* @& {4 sM: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.

L: 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？

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

# \0 Q( ?, j0 I! I8 x# m: _! H4 g1 r1 C+ uL: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

/ m- N7 H# f+ _5 r* W# B/ TM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
  B" g% [1 O- c( b; }
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。

# j3 `- I- c8 Y3 VM: 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.

' B3 M- O6 J( Z2 z9 [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: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！

( U5 W( Q  B: w) G; fL: 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。

L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

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。
