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！

" g+ D# `& g+ M! WL: Got wasted? 你说你们浪费了好多钱呀？

M: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.
3 X* F: q; c8 u( d0 F
2 Y) Q4 I. ^  u! zL: 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。

  F5 ]: a, J) i/ LM: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.

- P& _& x; |/ A& K/ JM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

1 G5 C5 m" p: wL: 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。
" V' d( E$ X. u) R: }- i
M: Ugh. It always seems like a lot of fun when I get completely wasted, but the next day, I regret it.

L: 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。

M: Eat something? Are you kidding? I can't even open my eyes without feeling sick.
8 ^0 f3 b  F1 L5 K: Z. c
L: 哟，你睁开眼睛就想吐呀？那是不能吃东西。Michael，幸好今天是星期六，否则你整天就不能上课，什么事也做不了。

( C2 F. [' L3 U2 c9 w' m5 EL: 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。

L: Michael，你觉得怎么样，好点吗？快，我们走吧！

M: Li Hua, don't speak so loudly. I still have a headache. I think you get a kick out of watching me suffer.

1 F" Z7 {" U1 N/ l  k& I( e, }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.
" l: ]5 b  S3 L) M
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？
- E5 u& m! {7 a9 m/ g
M: That's right.

# U4 ]7 v0 i. U( H  hL: 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.
9 R6 N5 g. Q, h' S9 W  w1 d
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: Yes, I guess I do get a kick out of watching my students learn.

L: Michael, 走吧！嗨，看完展览要不要再去喝个酩酊大醉呀？

M: 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.

L: 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。
