Michael和李华白天上了好几门课，晚饭后又做功课。李华决定到Michael 的住处去休息一下，看一会电视。今天Michael 会教李华两个常用语：nerd 和cheesy。

M: Are you okay, Li Hua? What's wrong? Why are you crying?

" ]& f. k0 l* I3 g; @L: 我没事。这个电视剧让人挺伤心的。我一看这种电视剧就会哭，真是 没办法。

1 _+ {* U6 _0 ?/ [+ ^5 k: \M: You are such a nerd.

$ a# d6 f0 U/ \' j( |% EL: 你叫我什么？A nerd? 我知道那不是什么好话，可是nerd到底是什 么意思呢？

M: If you call someone a nerd, it means you think he is weird and not cool. It can be used in many different situations.
7 i  c! k8 V* J& ?8 S7 ?+ y
" L8 Y' u2 Q! h$ l  ~* zL: 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？
( k" a( g8 N' |/ C) h! t
M: Me? A nerd? Well, yes, you could call me a nerd.
2 v5 d+ y3 s; o8 }7 V, i- T
L: 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 ~7 J; |& ~5 m  L2 e3 q* AL: 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？
& Y; v" y2 D/ K. K* p
5 G- N+ A2 i, \M: Well, as you know I was never very good at sports, and I never knew how to fit in with the cool kids.
$ P- c. Z9 k0 b( \# j! o; k5 l0 ^* H
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。

M: A typical nerd is someone who wears glasses and carries a lot of books.

# S# m2 l2 }/ ]1 x2 KL: 噢，那就是书呆子的形象，戴着眼镜，拿着许多书。
/ U# ^7 ]% ~8 H
9 E* O, Y; z9 M8 b5 dM: That's right. If someone is always studying, or seems to know the answers to everything, you can call him a nerd.
1 U; x2 [5 }+ P: m* z5 c/ O  ^9 E
  m  K& f* a' R* AL: 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。
( N0 b8 `/ B; K. K* \- H. P/ {
M: I guess so! Li Hua, That TV show is so cheesy. I don't know why it's so popular.

L: 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。

1 q  V8 u  e( T! f1 GM: Cheesy means tacky or dumb. It's usually used to describe a TV show, movie, or something someone says.
- s: u: _; o5 _( c* j
, y5 k  o% i1 i# aL: 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。
) ^8 f- {5 y0 n# J# X/ {
M: 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.

: V, l* S' e4 r; j* N" _3 YL: 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。
  x7 d! C& K! W5 W
M: How can those cheesy TV shows make you cry? You're such a nerd.
5 h' x( a. A) A) Q& j
2 g/ ]3 r& f- @7 B/ R3 NL: 什么？ 你说我是个nerd?

4 h- L4 t* v# ^& e) r9 Y5 pM: Don't be mad, Li Hua. But you are a nerd. No one cries while watching these cheesy TV shows！
4 d4 M% ^* H+ F
L: 我才不信呢。你们这些不流眼泪的人缺乏感情，你们才是nerd。 我不 跟你说了，我要回去了。
4 g5 N3 C0 M4 B5 V
/ a6 L; F1 z, U* T5 z! @" ~M: No, no, Li Hua. Wait, at least you have to finish watching this cheesy TV show so that you know who's going to marry whom.

! G1 J" N, v1 i% o' l3 |L: 对了，不看完这个电视剧，不知道结局，我也睡不着。那就看 吧！

+ d1 S8 F0 N8 H& v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。
