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。

L: 嗨， Michael，快走吧，该去看展览了！

: w3 h. h- h0 ^- {3 ~0 GM: 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.

; p9 N2 {; x5 Z" y- x* _) CL: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？
6 q: P( f# Q, A& W, K
M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

L: 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。

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。

M: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.
$ c4 v4 H6 q3 B5 q2 P
L: 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。

, z& N$ s2 w( t# V2 R, }M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

& q& h' C7 E4 ^: YL: 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。

M: Okay, I'll try.

L: 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.

, S' m' M, r. ?L: 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？

  ~) d3 l5 K" Q9 q; N4 U$ g9 |M: That's right.

L: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

! {' R) P1 j0 o" E; V2 _- VM: I know, I know...you're a good friend. You get a kick out of helping people, not watching them suffer.

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.

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？

L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展览要不要再去喝个酩酊大醉呀？

, g7 E- N) u; X. ]+ K* CM: 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.

- o. x6 J  M# w9 }8 iL: 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。
