现在大家可能都已经很熟悉Michael和李华了吧!他们俩都在纽约上大学。纽约有许多酒吧都是爱尔兰移民开的。今天Michael要带李华去看一个酒吧。Michael在讲话时会用两个常用语:to bum和turn-off。/ O5 T' O6 S$ a6 h

  E4 a+ p8 V. l( p. U

L: 噢,在问别人借大的,象汽车之类的东西时,不能用bum这个字,bum 只能用在问人借小东西的时候。( C1 ?, q2 f) S! `

7 b: `4 |0 W& ]' FM: Yeah, it's usually used when asking for something small, like a piece of gum or candy.

% L# H5 \% O/ iL: 对,要是在朋友家感到冷要借一件毛衣,那一般都应该还的。所以,这要看情况,对不对?
