Xbfeng

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。

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

3 ], N7 F8 V. W7 VL: 对，我选了摄影课。可是这节课那么早，我最讨厌起大早。

5 w0 A% ]8 U9 Z& oM: 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？

M: Yeah, that is true. But here I used bummed and bummed out. They both mean to be unhappy or upset.

# e/ N7 i# n8 c7 x. ~+ a% iL: 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？
) c. x2 ^' @" D
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.

7 Y) n+ I/ t) n6 H9 LL: 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?

; l; [$ |( N% r, }% W0 FM: 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.

9 j8 P7 A/ `9 N" _* o$ n. [: eL: 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。
" y8 m7 j, I* U0 v9 `3 S! w) B! I& X
M: Me too. Hey, I got an idea. Let’s go to the student center and relax after class.

2 T. ]3 u) ?- SL: 我当然知道 Johnson 博士有多严格。好吧，下了课我们去学生中心休息一下。
6 X; v) U2 W! A% C
. X& h, p4 U9 n  wM: Glad class is over! I’m ready to chill for the rest of the morning. I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days, getting ready for school and all.

* X' p& ?# ^4 ~5 s" k( v" uL: 什么？ 你说上完课很高兴，但是为什么一上午你会发冷呢？

M: Oh, no! Chill or chill out here means to relax. Chill,
+ K+ p1 s* m$ C  Q8 \, i( q" k; \
" Z. I2 ]# q# iL: 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？
; T  a. ]+ }0 S- y
M: I said: "I haven’t had a chance to chill out these last few days getting ready for school."
, x" X0 D  N1 Q& J/ F' w+ e% p% }9 r
L: 原来你是说：过去几天为了准备开学而没有机会休息。
# Q7 n; G- E2 t0 M8 Z* g
那你能说去打棒球，休息一下？
) `0 t7 R$ E+ C. O* X  u9 F
7 C: @9 e) [' b  r3 TM: 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.
+ l/ @: y. V3 j
# e$ k3 p5 B$ o0 J- NL: 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?

5 M. U4 Z/ w! C( BM: Sure, but we usually only say that if the bar is quiet and not too crowded.
5 @( w8 X* D- b1 K
L: 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。

7 i- k+ Q5 s( {0 O: MM: 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!

L: 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。

, @2 L' Q  n" s0 BM: Cool. Have fun chilling tonight at your friends’. See you later!
# S1 z+ t$ C6 r1 }3 w; Y4 o
L: 我今晚在朋友家肯定会玩得很高兴， Bye!
