昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。 " _3 f, y! o) ]3 P4 p # D3 k l" v" K% J" zL: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！ 7 V1 Y0 G( i N5 E3 W. b- l( x. Z. w

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。& ?1 r" \' r2 {
