6 L, l3 X( B; g, t# d; RM: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
* R* b' b) @' F, P3 h$ o. c3 D8 [7 G
L: 噢，nerd是指那种跟一般人不一样，有点怪的人。Nerd可以用在 许多不同场合。那象你今天穿了这套衣服，怪怪的，我就可以 说：You're a nerd。 对不对？
3 Z& C3 Z' S) t# p: g3 T

6 S$ h7 j! p% L* f# h3 O) bL: 我肯定好多人都叫你a nerd。

M: As a matter of fact, when I was growing up, a lot of kids called me a nerd because I didn't fit in.

1 f) d2 J# x  ~0 K8 ^# ?L: 你小的时候不合群，所以许多人都叫你nerd。我看你现在很合 群嘛。看不出你小时候是个nerd。你到底是怎么个不合群呢？
) h/ ?/ W9 o! C. Y
5 g+ d6 H3 W- B5 v/ E3 XM: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.

L: 对，你好象告诉过我你从小就不太喜欢体育，跟那些很受欢迎的 同学也合不到一起。所以，你就成了一个nerd。

' L- F1 Y  i5 o; [- L& yM: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

L: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。

M: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.

L: 老念书，什么都知道的人，那不就是书呆子吗？Michael，我看你 有的时候穿衣服有点怪，也许人家会叫你nerd，可是你绝对不会 成为书呆子。

M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.

# r6 K/ @1 z; [" r$ BL: 这个电视剧好多人都喜欢，包括我在内 。可你又在说什么批评的 话， 我不知道cheesy是什么意思，但是我知道你在说它不好。

5 ]( v* g/ [4 x: V% ^M: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
2 j6 X4 O& @  a1 I* D: @" W/ [
" A2 T0 \& `) |' r0 EL: 噢，cheesy就是很俗气，质量很次，很愚蠢。人们经常用cheesy 这个词来形容电视节目，电影或者某个人说的话。

# l# J# l, o5 L( hM: I think the new TV soap opera on Channel 6 is so cheesy. It is fake and the things they say on the shows are so weird. I don't know why these shows are so popular.
3 j6 U$ H5 @4 j) k; h! w
L: 对，我也看了六频道那个新的电视连续剧。情节是很虚假，对话 也很怪。可是你想知道为什么那么多人喜欢看吗？我来告诉你。看这 种电视剧总想知道结局嘛。我有的时候还会流泪的呢。

+ ^' ?. Y8 ]. G+ KM: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.

看来今天李华真是生气了，因为Michael说她是个nerd, 也就是说她这个人有点怪。后来她同意继续在Michael 家看完那个很cheesy的电视节目。Cheesy 就是很俗气， 没有水平的意思。这次[流行美语]就学习到这里。我们下次再见。
