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。 ' g3 z) F% c+ v9 d( d$ L) c* J

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？

L: 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?
