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！

M: 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？

0 t; E; d1 U# n# w& HM: No, Li Hua, when I say we got wasted I mean we got very very drunk.

2 x1 ]5 Z' L$ ]- K7 }6 \5 ~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。

$ m" Y8 ]; A) i* zM: We were so wasted that we couldn't even stand up straight.
2 u; w! z& F) Y* b6 I# _
L: 你们真是要命，喝得站都站不直。干吗要喝那么多呢？这么喝对你身体不好的。

! i5 R0 x2 D' z( n, ^7 s! m3 u3 m9 PM: I know. My best friend from high school came to visit, and we usually get wasted when we meet.

# l1 K; Q) v( L0 ^1 @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。

4 s. W2 e3 D9 K  V" r, S9 f+ |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: I'm so useless. I only get a kick out of doing stupid things, like getting wasted or watching old cartoons.

L: 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？

3 o7 x+ |; \' J1 x* C: u! t9 ~3 Y, [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.

# S5 U6 E" y1 e4 y5 ~& `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。
