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。 7 t4 e) E' L4 j% P$ M4 l1 ^ h4 ^/ m I

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。 / b2 o+ F& K! [2 { ' ?) q; I: z' u7 }! h \. I+ ?M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it. ) A+ Y+ M7 R; _ B% E" }9 S+ [) e- c0 Z5 q

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。2 u4 |% _. x( @& S" ]7 x8 ?
