L: 噢，你怕刚才历史测验会不及格。嗨，没必要，这又不是大考。 Michael，你刚才说什么"bombed my history test"，bomb不是炸弹，或是爆炸吗？你可不要开这样的玩笑，现在大家对安全问题都很敏感。 % y# w0 a; f- z " ]& g. ~% ^$ B; EM: No, I said I bombed my test, that means I did very poorly, and probably will get a very low mark. 4 S9 Q. v, x0 `( R% j0 L3 i6 l' O3 T; j: i( B+ i" ^1 \

That means that no one wanted to see it, and it probably lost a lot of money. 8 G( n. }, a$ L$ A2 T m: |" I - I$ s7 G, b3 l8 u$ H4 KL: 噢，还可以指电影，或话剧太次，没有人要看，卖座率太低。我上星期去看了一次电影，剧院里没几个人。后来我才看到报纸评论说这部电影太糟了。我能不能说："The movie I saw last week bombed"?. z7 i3 V+ r!

bomb 和 mess up，俺好像是看明白什么意思了。可俺平时接触的，都是社会的下层。同样的意思，底层们怎么说？ 试试 screw up 或者 f**k up。: m+ @$ m& w2 B
