流行美语口语 Lesson 35 - wasted & to get a kick

Xbfeng

昨天晚上Michael 和一个老同学一起出去玩，两个人都喝得酩酊大醉。现在李华来找他一起去看一个新的艺术展览。李华会学到两个常用语：wasted和 to get a kick out of something。
/ A6 E/ V- W* g! N' L6 [- P
7 W8 L" E3 @2 \3 c- IL: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

M: Give me a moment, Li Hua. Last night a friend and I went out to a bar and got wasted, so I don't feel very good right now.
# j9 M5 \( ~# P
- I; n2 q/ i' _& XL: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

0 `& x. K6 N( y4 h/ C& J# _/ G8 UL: 噢，你们到酒吧去了。你说的wasted意思是喝酒喝得酩酊大醉，不是指浪费。
, w" P( ?( }6 W* c" j' c# i
M: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.
  S! ?( g) h; G/ X* N3 Q
2 U& _# a9 ~0 A+ v$ t# H7 T' [L: 你们真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干吗要喝那么多呢？这么喝对你身体不好的。

* S  {9 c! I# O% b' tM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
+ l. n3 d# p3 T4 G6 d4 d& i( Q) H
! |; u2 t7 {  r0 eL: 中学时的好朋友来看你，一高兴就喝多了，这我可以理解。在中国，老同学见面的时候，我们总是会开个party，往往喝好多酒，可是我们不见得会醉到象你这种程度。

: @3 w+ {4 d. V" J/ e; P0 F1 \9 oM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

0 Z8 H, ~' D# ?% [L: 是啊，喝得大醉的时候觉得很好玩，到第二天你就后悔了。得了，你得换换衣服，吃点东西。我们得早点去，否则人会太多了。

5 i) u5 s; f" t% `* ]M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

; S5 H9 K' m8 FL: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。
$ Q) _; e% S/ l. ]$ i
! E' ?- U$ z. |) sM: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.
- K+ j3 }5 E! T# F2 n# d
( H1 s6 J, i. u0 BL: 研究生要缺太多课可不是开玩笑的。得了，我看你还是先洗一个澡，再喝点茶，这样可能会好些。

" S4 O4 A5 X$ @5 \' F5 [: zM: Okay, I'll try.

3 X# q) N( V8 [L: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

4 o+ d( Y9 m& y6 wM: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

; {# M1 j' I4 X/ l8 _$ oL: 你说什么？你想踢我？

M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

0 ]& _$ C7 p" c& [/ eL: 噢，to get a kick out of something意思就是为了什么事感到很开心。 这个kick跟踢球的kick是同一个字吗？
0 B/ Q7 L0 O7 |# n( w  B; \: ~
M: That's right.

/ W/ b* `9 H( N% x+ F' uL: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！
2 P( a9 v! O7 i- c9 C5 g4 U0 ?
M: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.
* z; C1 ~1 S$ S& |; J
L: 这你说得还象样，我才不愿意看见别人难受，我很高兴帮助别人。帮助象你这样的美国学生学中文我就很高兴。

M: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.
% X6 z" O2 Q4 w9 ~( h) A2 w
L: 偶然喝醉一次，看看老的卡通片也不能说自己没有用嘛。你看到你的学生英语有进步，不也让你很高兴吗？
) ?, p* v4 V, `  N2 o% N$ b4 @
M: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展览要不要再去喝个酩酊大醉呀？

4 J$ ?  P, V( F$ mM: Arrrgh! Li Hua, you really do get a kick out of tormenting me. I'll never get wasted for the rest of my life. I promise.
" l  _2 D) {! m& N! g
L: 我只是开个玩笑而已。不过，我倒是希望你这辈子再也不要喝那么多酒了！

别看Michael 昨晚喝醉了，今天还晕乎乎的。可是他教了李华两个很有用的常用语，一个是：wasted，那是指喝得大醉；另一个是：to get a kick out of something，那就是为某件事感到很高兴。这次的[流行美语]就到此结束，下次节目再见。
