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！

5 V% n! ?- G# K3 CM: 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.

L: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

8 F* M) `6 E( x! t# DM: 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。

; p$ G9 d$ y/ G. l9 [5 D' tM: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

# h: h1 i2 H, ~  a9 K) m
6 i2 s9 n* s6 J! SL: 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。

M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

. K9 E8 w; ]! }& a8 l7 JL: 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。

2 j. n1 u: x# ?M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.

M: Yes, I'm in graduate school, and I can't afford to miss too many classes.
/ o/ e& c1 {) p+ L# ~& l
1 r( i4 [8 c3 @/ K0 jL: 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。

2 g+ ~  r7 Q0 \, g5 \M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

2 L4 A  \  n; }) Z/ aL: 你说什么？你想踢我？
8 o( L3 Y$ D2 `
M: No, I said you get a kick out of watching me suffer. That means, you enjoy watching me suffer.

7 {- E$ H- e( d- VL: 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？

M: That's right.
. o+ Z( Y/ T+ E0 s5 W
. g( g* [& Q! `, V! ZL: 我干吗看见你难受我就高兴呢？ 你是自作自受！

M: 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。
9 u4 y! f; b. t: m
M: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

- D6 t, Y9 i0 |$ vL: 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？

M: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

# R4 h/ s1 m- |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。
