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。) F4 w( I. l2 ~( K7 k

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。 6 K# D3 Y8 N$ @% ?$ ~ 0 K6 z- U2 c6 }; V% f/ XM: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.( m( j }" G% P7 p/ d

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。5 o( [- P$ `1 C
